Some themes have a custom.css and some don't. The point is to add it somewhere in your theme files rather than editing the forms.css directly. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/form-description-still-not-showing-on-contact-form#post-11824 Sat, 30 Oct 2010 14:25:23 +0000 goheels 11824@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>OK...so all i need to do is to Copy and Paste your code(above) to the end of my Theme's Style.css or add it to my Theme's Custom.css file - and then adjust the Font Size accordingly...</p> <p>Is this Correct?</p> <p>Also, shouldn't I add your code(above) to my Theme's Custom.css file - instead of to my Theme's Style.css - so that when I upgrade the theme - these Font Changes don't get over-written??</p> <p>It is my understanding that Woo Themes(who created my theme) - recommends that I make All Style Sheet Changes - to the Custom.css - for exactly this reason.</p> <p>Please let me know.</p> <p>Thanks,<br /> Sanford </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/form-description-still-not-showing-on-contact-form#post-11780 Fri, 29 Oct 2010 10:22:19 +0000 Kevin Flahaut 11780@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I'm assuming by "form field names" you mean the field labels.</p> <p>The easiest way to change those is to apply some new rules to your theme's stylesheet. You can add these to the end of the style.css or custom.css file.</p> <pre><code>/* change the field label */ .gform_wrapper .gfield_label {font-size:13px;} /* change the form description */ .gform_wrapper .gform_description {font-size:13px}</code></pre> <p>then adjust the font sizes to suit your preference. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/form-description-still-not-showing-on-contact-form#post-11774 Thu, 28 Oct 2010 21:36:08 +0000 goheels 11774@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>David,</p> <p>Yes...Re-Embedding the Form -with the instructions you provided - worked - Thanks!</p> <p>Another quick question:</p> <p>On my Contact Form Page: I want to change the CSS/Styling - to make the Form's Fonts Larger:<br /> <a href="http://bit.ly/cCKwbk" rel="nofollow">http://bit.ly/cCKwbk</a> </p> <p>If you go to my Contact Page link(above) - you will see that the Font for the "Form Field Names" - and the Font for my "Form Description" - are too small and need to be made Larger....</p> <p>So, in the Edit Form - Advanced - I see the "CSS Class Name" field...</p> <p>What do I put into the "CSS Class Name" to make the Font for the "Form Field Names" and the Font for the "Form Description" Larger?</p> <p>Thanks,<br /> Sanford </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/form-description-still-not-showing-on-contact-form#post-11683 Wed, 27 Oct 2010 12:46:27 +0000 David Smith 11683@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p><a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/embedding-a-form/" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/embedding-a-form/</a></p> <p>When embedding a form on a page, the easiest and most typical way of doing so is using Gravity Forms built in shortcode generator. Review the page linked above for details on how this is done and what options are available to you.</p> <p><code>description: Whether or not do display the form description. Defaults to ‘false’. Optional.</code></p> <p>Make sure that option is checked and let me know if you are still not seeing your form description when you view your form. :) </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/form-description-still-not-showing-on-contact-form#post-11681 Wed, 27 Oct 2010 12:11:01 +0000 goheels 11681@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>David,</p> <p>I don't Understand - I did NOT see any "Display form description" Checkbox Option - in the Edit Forms - beside my Description Field - that would allow me to check or un-check beside my Form Description?</p> <p>Also, Do I have to manually add a Short Code somewhere to make this Form Description - show on my Live Form?</p> <p>Please elaborate?</p> <p>Thanks,<br /> Sanford </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/form-description-still-not-showing-on-contact-form#post-11630 Tue, 26 Oct 2010 09:54:50 +0000 David Smith 11630@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi goheels! First thing I'd check is to make sure you didn't accidentally uncheck the "Display form description" when adding the shortcode to your page. Let me know if this is not the case and we'll work from there. :) </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/form-description-still-not-showing-on-contact-form#post-11623 Tue, 26 Oct 2010 00:13:17 +0000 goheels 11623@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Dear Gravity Forms / Carl,</p> <p>Although I typed in the following Description, "Please feel free to Contact Us here.", it still does NOT show on the live contact form on my site...although it DOES show on the Form Preview.</p> <p>I DID leave the "Form Title" blank - so don't know if that causes problems.</p> <p>Also, I just upgraded to the New GFs version - but the new version didn't fix this problem.</p> <p>My site link:<br /> <a href="http://tinyurl.com/yd7a6nm" rel="nofollow">http://tinyurl.com/yd7a6nm</a></p> <p>Please let me know - How To - get the "Description" to show up on my live Contact Form on this site?</p> <p>Thanks,<br /> Sanford </p>
