So that isn't going to work out for you if they are both on your site.</p> <p>As for the errors you are getting, those sound like file permission errors. Those are unrelated to Gravity Forms. Those are server permission related.</p> <p>You shouldn't be editing/changing Gravity Forms files anyway, or at least if you want to be able to keep up to date with how Gravity Forms updates.</p> <p>There is no need to change the core files when you can make customizations using the available hooks/filters and for CSS you would add any custom styles to your themes stylesheet. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/change-the-background-colour-for-the-text#post-22966 Mon, 11 Apr 2011 12:02:32 +0000 Marosh 22966@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi Carl,<br /> Sorry for miss-understanding. I will try explain one more time.<br /> Well, In my plugins folder I have two GravityForm folders:<br /> 1, gravityforms1.4 (what is version1.4 and I am not using)<br /> 2,gravityforms (what is new version 1.5.1.1 I guess)</p> <p>Now I can do any file changes in gravityforms1.4 folder but not in gravityforms folder. When I am going change anything gravityforms folder I get this pop up window :</p> <p>Pop up window shows:<br /> Error Copying File or Folder<br /> Cannot copy forms: Access is denied,</p> <p>Make sure that disk is not full or write-protected and that file is not currently in use.</p> <p>Any ideas why?</p> <p>Thank you </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/change-the-background-colour-for-the-text#post-22954 Mon, 11 Apr 2011 11:09:08 +0000 Carl Hancock 22954@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I don't understand what you mean by a pop up window about the express written permission of the author. What exactly are you trying to do?</p> <p>To customize CSS styles you would add custom CSS to your themes stylesheet to target and style whatever form element you want to customize. Adding CSS can't popup a window. It's CSS. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/change-the-background-colour-for-the-text#post-22925 Mon, 11 Apr 2011 05:05:07 +0000 Marosh 22925@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>HI,<br /> I was following post :<br /> <a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/two-different-css-classes-for-section-field-description-text-please-help#post-6533" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/two-different-css-classes-for-section-field-description-text-please-help#post-6533</a> </p> <p>Than I tried change the background colour for the text but I get pop-up window about the<br /> express written permission of the author.</p> <p>It is because I have not developer license Key?</p> <p>Thanks<br /> Marosh </p>
