We can look at adding it as a form setting in the future, although it was originally designed to be a translatable string so it is part of the localization when the plugin is translated into other languages via PO files. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/custom-styling-question#post-19212 Wed, 23 Feb 2011 02:57:35 +0000 gbotica 19212@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Thanks for this!</p> <p>Shouldn't this text string be able to be set as an option on the form set up? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/custom-styling-question#post-11520 Fri, 22 Oct 2010 16:03:11 +0000 Kevin Flahaut 11520@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>You've constrained the height on your #gform_wrapper_1 to 375px and it already has an "overflow:hidden" applied to the class. That means when the validation error shows, the bottom part of the form is pushed below the visible area. You can try this instead.</p> <pre><code>#gform_wrapper_1 { background-color:#F1EEEE; border:3px solid #FFFFFF; min-height:375px; padding-top:2px; overflow:visible }</code></pre> <p>You can change the validation message by adding this filter to your theme's functions.php file.</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php // custom validation message for form id 1 add_filter(&quot;gform_validation_message_1&quot;, &quot;change_message_1&quot;, 10, 2); function change_message_1($message, $form){ return &quot;&lt;div class=\&quot;validation_error\&quot;&gt;Oops.

Edit your form to access the form builder, hover over the Form Title area and click the Edit to open up the form settings. One of the options is label placement. You can choose top or left aligned labels.</p> <p>This should fine for changing the label position. CSS isn't required for this. </p> <p>One thing to note is some WooThemes have hardcoded CSS to force the label position. So if you are using a WooTheme and the label placement option isn't working, this is why.</p> <p>It's hard to tell what CSS is correct without being able to see the form on your site and inspecting the HTML. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/custom-styling-question#post-11513 Fri, 22 Oct 2010 14:36:46 +0000 Christinarule 11513@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>okay stuck again </p> <p>#gform_1 .gform_wrapper .gform_footer {<br /> margin-bottom:0;<br /> margin-left:0;<br /> margin-right:0;<br /> margin-top:1px;<br /> padding-bottom:10px;<br /> padding-left:0;<br /> padding-right:0;<br /> padding-top:6px;<br /> }</p> <p>shouldnt that call out the footer?? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/custom-styling-question#post-11509 Fri, 22 Oct 2010 13:53:15 +0000 Christinarule 11509@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>AH never mind just realized I didnt include #gform_1 SORRy </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/custom-styling-question#post-11508 Fri, 22 Oct 2010 13:48:41 +0000 Christinarule 11508@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>okay so im getting stuck... instead of the text being above the field I want it to be on the side, so in front of the field.
