However, it required the user to turn off CSS output in the GF Forms Settings. With GF 1.5, there are some handy features with the CSS Ready Classes. Turning off the output, turns these off as well.</p> <p>My question I guess is to ask what people have found to be the best way to style gravity forms without turning off CSS Output while also not having to add "!important" markup all over the stylesheet? Best practices? </p>
