[Plugin: Contact Form 7] Change Width of a form?

nevermind… I found it.

Can you please share with us what your solution was? THX

I’m not sure if this is the only way, but here is one way:
Under the plugin directory:
/plugins/contact-form-7/modules/
Edit the following two files text.php and textarea.php

Both have a “default size” that is set to:
size=”40″ (columns)
size=”10″ (rows)

text.php (line 75 or so of the code)

if ( $size_att )
		$atts .= ' size="' . $size_att . '"';
	else
		$atts .= ' size="40"'; // default size

Change “40” to something else (smaller width is size=”30″ columns). You’ll see a similar line of code for rows.

textarea.php (line 72 or so of the code)

if ( $cols_att )
		$atts .= ' cols="' . $cols_att . '"';
	else
		$atts .= ' cols="40"'; // default size

	if ( $rows_att )
		$atts .= ' rows="' . $rows_att . '"';
	else
		$atts .= ' rows="10"'; // default size

NOTE: When you upgrade to the next version of the plugin, you’ll need to do this again. Anyone know a better way to do this so you don’t need to re-edit after each new version?

Anyone know how to change the column and row width using the “Additional Settings” feature in Contact Form 7?

Found a better way! When making your form, use this:
[text* phone 30/50]
This creates 30 columns (width) and 50 (maxlength)
[textarea* your-message 20/3] = 20 cols / 3 rows
