Check box not displaying

The checkboxes are there, but really really tiny. The problem is a style conflict. If you add .fm-form input { width: 100%; } to your custom .css you should be fine.

My mistake. You should use:

.fm-form input[type='checkbox'] { width: 100%; }

Otherwise it will mess with some of the other element types.

I tried the both lines of code, but they don’t work. The first one only changed the width of the submit button.

The 2nd one didn’t change anything (that I could see).

Any ideas?

Thanks for replying so fast earlier.

If you go into thesis_181/custom/layout.css, on line 243:

.format_text input, #commentform input, #commentform textarea { width: 45%; padding: 0.214em; border-width: 0.071em 0.071em 0.071em 0.071em; }

This is the style that is causing the checkboxes to be small. At least in my browser. Which file did you edit?

Thesis has its own control panel in the WordPress control panel called “Thesis Custom File Editor”, within this control panel it allows you to edit custom.css or custom_functions.php.

I added that line you gave me earlier to custom.css.

What I should have mentioned earlier is that I’m great at WP, but an amateur w/ HTML / CSS etc.

If you can figure out what needs to be changed & give me some details on how to do it, I can sort it out.

Thanks again. Your support and service have been great. PLease help me figure this out.

Hey its no problem. If you can insert stuff into custom.css then put this on its own line:

.fm-form input[type='checkbox'] { width: 100% !important; }

Or, if you can get file access to your server, the file with the ‘conflict’ is ‘wp-content/themes/thesis_181/custom/layout.css’, on line 243, but I’m not sure your changes won’t be overridden later on by the Thesis control panel. At the very worst case you could add the code to the bottom of ‘wp-content/plugins/wordpress-form-manager/css/style.css’, but these changes will be overridden each time you update the plugin.

Good Morning,

No luck with adding:

.fm-form input[type=’checkbox’] { width: 100% !important; }

To the custom.css. I tried it in box IE & Chrome.

This afternoon I’ll try and get into the style.css file, for your pluginand see if that works. I think you’re right about editing the layout.css because the theme warns that editing anything outside of its custom editor, will result in it being overridden as I upgrade.

Thanks!

I just looked at the code for ‘custom.css’. What shows up is:

.fm-form input [type='checkbox'] { width: 100% !important; }

Two things, the obvious one is that the single quote is being replaced by ', and the second is the space after input, both of which will break the code. You could also try it without the quotes, so it reads [type=checkbox], but you have to remove the space after input.

Ok, so I’ve tried every suggested above. Didn’t work…EXCEPT when I add the code to style.css it works BUT only in Safari, Chrome on Mac and Firefox on my PC.

My PC Chrome and IE don’t work. I’ve tried deleting cookies and all my internet files / restarting the program but it just won’t work.

I need it to work on all platforms. Any idea what the next step is?

Thanks again for all your help.

Maybe try this in your custom.ccs:

.format_text input[type=checkbox] { width:100%; }

This would be much easier if I had Thesis. Also I found this which discusses a similar issue, though somebody left a comment about your problem. You might want to look at the Thesis forums since this is more of an issue with Thesis than FM. I’m happy to keep trying, but without access to Thesis I can’t know for sure what will fix your problem.

I see the comment you mention. Exactly my problem. I did a quick scan of the thesis forums but couldn’t find anything.

If you’re up for it, I can give you admin access to the theme and maybe you can look around?

I’ll keep checking thesis forums tonight and tomorrow night but since I’m code illiterate, you’ll probably have more luck.

Even though I’m having this issue, I’m still blown away by your support (and the plug in). Thanks!

No problem. Send the info to campbell AT campbellhoffman DOT com.

Awesome. Look for an email from Patrick.

Thank you!

Okay, it turns out it was a simple fix. I put this in custom.css:

.fm-form input[type="checkbox"] { width: auto !important; }

I tested it on FF, Safari, Chrome for Mac & PC, and IE8 for PC.
