[Plugin: Fast Secure Contact Form] CSS being overrided

Yes the plugin setting grew and grew, sorry. Changing it would be a massive overhaul.

I recently had one user who had suhosin that caused some of the plugin settings to not set. It is probably related to the configuration list is so long.

Does your PHP server use Suhosin?

See this FAQ page for Suhosin
https://www.hardened-php.net/suhosin/faq.html#general

Will my application break because Suhosin is too restrictive?

Some people fear that the protections implemented by Suhosin are too
restrictive for their applications and that after installing it, their
applications stop working. Therefore Suhosin comes with a special
configuration option: suhosin.simulation. When this is enabled Suhosin
will continue logging violated rules but the actual blocking will not
be performed.

https://www.hardened-php.net/suhosin/configuration.html#suhosin.simulation
If you fear that Suhosin breaks your application, you can activate
Suhosin’s simulation mode with this flag. When Suhosin runs in
simulation mode, violations are logged as usual, but nothing is
blocked or removed from the request. (Transparent Encryptions are NOT
deactivated in simulation mode.)

I just re-installed my WP site, and all the configs are erased, so are the plugins. I haven’t asked my web host yet, but if anyone is having the same issue. I’d be happy to learn about your solution.

I checked with my web host, they actually don’t have suhosin installed. So, I tried to edit the plugin file (si-contact-form/si-contact-form.php), but somehow I triggered a fatal error on line 1223. Now the plugin is disabled.

Sorry, false alarm, I added more quotes than I’m suppose to. However, even with changes to si-contact-form/si-contact-form.php and si-contact-form/si-contact-form-admin.php (and somehow, the /si-contact-form-admin.php says itself is “inactive”), I don’t see a change in the way the form is styled.
How can I style the form? Which file should I modify?

'form_style' => 'width:80%',
         'border_style' => 'border:none;',
         'required_style' => 'text-align:left;',
         'notes_style' => 'text-align:left;',
         'title_style' => 'font-family:Forum; text-align:left; padding-top:5px; ',
         'field_style' => 'font-family:Forum; text-align:left; margin:0;',
         'field_div_style' => 'text-align:left;',
         'error_style' => 'text-align:left; color:#57941B;',
         'select_style' => 'text-align:left;',
         'captcha_div_style_sm' => 'width:175px; height:50px; padding-top:2px;',
         'captcha_div_style_m' => 'width:250px; height:65px; padding-top:2px;',
         'captcha_input_style' => 'text-align:left; margin:0; width:50px;',
         'submit_div_style' => 'text-align:left; padding-top:2px;',
         'button_style' => 'cursor:pointer; margin:0;',
         'reset_style' => 'cursor:pointer; margin:0;',
         'field_size' => '40',
         'captcha_field_size' => '6',
         'text_cols' => '40',
         'text_rows' => '10',

Those settings are just the defaults for when you install the plugin or add new forms. As soon as the form is loaded, it copies those default settings to the database. Editing the default values will not reflect on your form.

Here is some troubleshooting you can try:

Well, it sounded like the CSS setting would be rewritten if I de-activate the plugin, and then re-activate it. And that’s exactly what I did, except that the form still looked the same. No change to styling at all. So, I guess my next step is to change the CSS in the database. Btw, which table should I be looking for?

Suhosin could be causing the settings to not be saved, see this new help page I just made:
https://www.fastsecurecontactform.com/settings-cannot-be-saved

Sorry for the late response, but like I mentioned previously, the web server is not running Suhosin. Or must it run Suhosin for the form to work??
