[Plugin: Contact Form 7] How do I change width of fields?

you use CSS.

/wp-content/plugins/contact-form-7/stylesheet.css is the file youre concerned with.

Thanks for leading me to this file, but what code do I change/add in order to edit the width of my text fields?

Another user in the same boat.

Can I add a query about the difference between Firefox and IE. They do not display the same.

How does CSS treat these two browsers, and how does one make the required change?

Thanks.

The text fields created by Contact Form 7 are input tags, so you need to add a new selector to your CSS file in order to edit their width.

Try adding this line to your CSS:
input { width: 100px; }

For example. You can change the width to whatever size you see fit.

I would also advise you to add a class to check boxes and radio buttons, because these are also input tags but don’t require a long with.
So say in Contact Form 7 you add a class of “checkbox” when using a check box or a radio button. In your style sheet add this selector:

input.checkbox { width:auto; }

This will revert the width to its original size: tiny.

Hope this helps!

hi,
as you said, i made some modification to stylesheet and get wide input fields,
input { width: 300px; }
but what i want to change is the box where you enter the text, and that didn not change…
why?
i presume this is not an input tag or what
can u help me?
thanks

I’m in the same boat as rodrigojol. I have mine as a widget, and the width of the widest text field forces my whole right column to be wider.

go to Plugins -> Editor

I wanted to change the size of the “body” field so I searched on “rows” and changed the dimensions of the textarea from 10 rows by 40 columns to 6 rows by 60 columns … note: I had to change these values in two different locations so be sure you search the entire length of the code.

also be very careful with any changes you make. I would suggest you comment out the copy of the original line.

HTH,
Tom

This may help some of you. Took it a step further than yaili’s post.
