Styling of form fields

I’d just use a browser inspector and drop in a style. I don’t have a preset list of style selectors (although that would be nice to do).

Good luck!

The “just . . . drop in a style” sounds so easy!

I know how to use a browser inspector, but where/how do I drop in a style? There are actually many little custom formatting things I would like to do, but I don’t know where/how to change the CSS.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Sadly, I’m not able to train you on how to use CSS or identify selectors. There are a great many resources online that can help you learn to do that.

If that’s something you can’t do, feel free to shoot me your email address (you can use the contact form at https://zatzlabs.com/contact-us/) and I’ll send you a list of folks who will do small jobs like changing a CSS style.

Wow, thanks for the prompt response! You’re amazing!

Perhaps I didn’t phrase the question correctly. I do know how to write CSS (and find the element), but in the post and your videos (which are awesome, by the way! Thanks for the time & effort you put into making these.), you make it sound so simple to drop in the CSS, but I’m not sure where you mean to do it. I would have thought that if I put in the Seamless Donation CSS sheet that it would–like the .php files–get overridden with updates. I guess I am asking where to edit the styles!

Does that make my question clearer? And hopefully make an answer easier for you? ??

Again, thank you.

Hi, I resolved this. I have no issue with css, in fact i work with it every day. It is worth taking into account though that for people not that used to WordPress, everything is made 4 times harder than it needs to be.

It’s the same with PHP, so many WP plugin/theme developers always say, ‘it’s easy to make that change if you know PHP’ whereas realistically that’s not true. Most PHP developers wouldn’t go near WordPress as it’s not ‘just PHP’, it it’s own animal.

In my case, it was the theme’s styling that was overriding mine so what I was doing to style these fields was correct but the theme was wiping my changes.

@twinsforheat – to add css styles or override this plugins styles for example, just add your styles to your own stylesheet (for example the theme’s style.css) That will then override the plugin’s styles.

Thanks for the reply–I really appreciate it. I don’t feel comfortable with PHP (glad I’m apparently not the only one!), but I do think going into the theme’s style.css would be fine.

This forum has been a big help! Thanks!
