    Dear Thomas,

    thank you a lot for that wonderful plugin! It’s really magnificent!

    I’m fiddling a little around with the design. I’m using your plugin under Twenty Thirteen.

    One thing I couldn’t work out so far is how to increase the horizontal width of the input field for text. I found a way to increase the lot, but I only would like to increase the text input fields. If I tweak the display.css it always increases also the fileds with radio buttons which is not nice. It seems I can isolate “textarea” but how can I also tweak the normal text fields?

    Another question ist about the phrase “Job Bewerbung:” which is always automatically added to the title of a job. I would like cancel this. But where? Have a look what I mean:

    https://bewerbung.eurocircle.de/?page_id=5&j=10

    The title is also mentioned twice – can I cancel one?

    I also have problems with the captcha and the function which makes a user tick a box to agree to the terms. I never manged to get beyond the point… but fiddling is not over here yet…

    I’m sure there are more questions to come…

    Thanks a lot and

    best wishes

    You can identify your custom fields from within the Display Settings / Application Form Template

    You can then target individual filed attributes by their FIELD ID
    in your style sheet to set the width.

    Example:
    jobman-field-1
    width: 200px;

    The Term Job Application or “Job Bewerbung:” is Hard Coded…. hopefully at some point in the future we will be able to make this an alterable field.

    If you modify the code, then when we update you will have to do it again, not a good idea.

    Not sure what you mean by

    The title is also mentioned twice – can I cancel one?

    I only see it once.

    Dear Thomas,

    thank you very much for your reply!

    I will try to check it out concerning the jobman-field.

    Shouldn’t it be possible to do some sort of “child-theme” styling to change the hard code and keep it changed even after updates?

    And I have another problem. The date-picker concerning the years only shows a certain range. Especially when it comes to birthdates it is very circumstantial to always click the oldest year first to be able to pick later years. I think the visible range of years is defined in the js, but I cannot quite figure out which figures I need to change. Do you have an idea how to show a wider range of years in the date-picker?

    The titel is show twice. Please look at https://bewerbung.eurocircle.de/?page_id=5&j=10
    and see “Job Bewerbung: EFD bei Urban Prod” and in the next line: “Titel: EFD bei Urban Prod”.

    So “EFD bei Urban Prod” is tautologous.

    Thanks a lot and

    best wishes

    A number of the items you mention are things we are looking into for future enhancements. Your welcome to add them or anything else your thinking of via an enhancement request on BitbUcket .

    As for the Title, the second instance you are observing is from your theme.

    Hope this helps

    Dear Thomas,

    OK, I managed to target single input fields like this

    input[name=jobman-field-1] {
	width: 384px;
}

    which I put into the style.css of the child theme.
    I don’t know if it is elegant, but it works.

    I opened new threads for the other issues.

    Best wishes
