Ok, I have figured out that I can add in additional html instructions to the styles settings boxes than what is already there. I have managed to narrow down the fields more along the lines of what I want

thanks for this very nice plugin.

Ok thanks. Can you please tell me where exactly I would insert this text,

thanks.

Hi, thanks. I did, I tried adjusting that to just 6 px but like I say, it only affects the size of the message box not the other fields.

Man thanks.

Hi it’s https://www.nt-music.com

The form is at the bottom of the page
thanks

Hi, thanks. That did help with widening the fields but I haven’t been able to decrease the height of the fields. I tried adjusting the height in the “Input textarea fields:” box but that only seems to apply to the Message field, not any of the others…

Thanks.

Resolved thanks

You are right in that I think it is an issue specific to that particular theme since I also tried it in two other themes (including another premium theme by the same developer!) and both times the form appeared perfectly in the sidebar. I’ve notified the developer, hopefully he will fix it soon.

Many thanks.

Ok, I will inform the theme developer

thanks.

Hi, I just added some text there so you can see.

The theme is this one https://themes.bavotasan.com/themes/matheson-pro/
There is also a free version available if you wanted to check out what was going on.

Thanks.

Hi

there is a sidebar text widget – you can see the ‘Contact Me’ title to the right of the page, the form should be fitting in right underneath but I am not sure why it isn’t. If I insert normal text instead of the form,then the text appears on the right hand side fine, just the form is not going there for some reason.

The theme developer said I should get in touch with you ??

Thanks.

Ok I changed this in the style settings (is that the right way?) and now the form itself is much narrower but the form is still presenting itself at the bottom of the page…? https://www.nt-music.com/about

Thanks.

Ok I see. I am a beginner – please can you tell me where I would find and edit this text.

Thank you.

Hi, the site isn’t completed yet but I’ve made this page viewable in this case https://www.nt-music.com/about

Thanks!

Hi catacaustic, I appreciate the time you took to reply.

I think you’re right that the issue may be on GoDaddy’s end because I tried drastically reducing the sizes of the video files (all now under 60MB) and they all uploaded via the WordPress Media Uploader and stream back fine now. I challenged GoDaddy the other day on this, I told them outright that I suspected they were throttling me and they were imposing server limitations on large file streaming but they denied this and said that I have unlimited bandwidth and so that couldn’t be it. I will probably do some further tests in a week or so by uploading the larger files again and seeing if they work and then I will go back to GoDaddy with the results. If they are indeed imposing such low server restrictions and not telling people about these restrictions so that people have no idea why things are not working then I think that is pretty poor practise.

I hear what you’re saying re MP4 files, codecs are evil and the absolute bain of our lives, one thing plays on one device but not another and there must be hundreds of the damn things all competing! This is one of those areas where competition is a bad thing, we need one standard that everything will play, like the MP3 standard. MP4 I thought was like that but having different encoding options and then the risk that certain browsers and devices don’t play them is unacceptable in my view. We should have one standard format and all developers write for it. Hopefully we’ll get to that point soon.

I guess I’m going to have to learn some basic CSS, HTML etc. if I want to make the most of my current website and template, I’d just rather not, not because it’s not interesting but because I really don’t have the time. I wish everything in WordPress was WYSIWYG and that there were easier ways to add borders around images and videos and other basic features without having to input code to achieve the result. But when it’s time for a bigger site, I’ll get a designer in, that’s for sure, no more buggering around for me.

Thanks.

I am also having this issue, Open Media just greys out the and the media browser does not open. Shame, looked like a good plugin.
