Hi there,

i have just created a form on my site and all is fine except the styling. please have a look here:

http://www.ansarsweb.co.uk/crown/demo/contact-form-2/

the form is accessing the theme style, which is fine, however, the field layouts are all squashed with no spaces in between field labels and fields to create a 2 column effect. when i try setting the style of the form to one of the predefined styles on teh Stylign page, it doesn't take effect.

We had a custom built theme done – coudl the CSS of thsi theme be affecting it?

Please help.

I was running into the same problem. I would change the style of the form, but nothing would change on my page. I read another post, where a guy was having the same problem, and he mentioned copying the css from the form style you like, and pasting it into your themes css file. I did this and it worked.

I created a custom theme, and used my own css, so not sure if because of that, I ran into this problem. I don't know if this fix is a quick fix, or if there is a different, more reasonable fix. Non-the-less, it now works.

Hope this helps.

I have a slightly different problem:

For quite some time I've used a custom style sheet (based on the mono_space_light.css) and it works fine (like here).

After the last plugin update, from v 13.1 to 13.2.2, the custom made css's won't work. Selecting them in corms/styling instead gives a rougher look (close to the one on cforms own user forum).

A bug? Similar experiences.

For the note: I've downgraded the plugin again to regain the looks I like

Thanks,

Kjetil

Hello Oliver, 

I'm a looooong time user of cforms for many sites and have to tell you something is not quite right with the v13.2.2. 

• I realize that "cform's code base for the forms hasn't changed in more than a year. so your 'old' custom style should still apply  a 100%."
• and I did "make sure there are no clashes with your theme."
• We are definitely running WP 3.3.1.

Here is the reason the custom files are not working:

When I view the source code on the site and look in the head tag, I see this:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://www.specialbeginnings.com/wp-content/plugins/cforms//styling/../../cforms-custom/sbbwcfancy_white.css">
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.specialbeginnings.com/wp-content/plugins/cforms//js/cforms.js"></script>
Look carefully at the href and src. Notice the // where there should only be /.

I don't know how this link is assembled, but that is the reason for the problem.

Still not sure?

When I take the exact same CSS that is in my custom file and paste it into the Basic Style Editor under CformsII / Styling, everything works. SO, the issue is not the CSS, but the fact that it is residing in the cforms-custom folder.

I hope this helps.
