The only response I got back is from a fellow member, not staff. But she picked up that I had used a parenthesis instead of an opening bracket for the only other rule I have entered. I know pesky little details like that can have repercussions beyond the obvious. I have correcte it now. So the entirety of what's there is this:</p> <pre><code>[css] body.custom div.wrapper {width: 1000px;} #gforms_confirmation_message {background: #ff0000;}</code></pre> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/styling-the-confirmation-messages#post-73080 Wed, 29 Aug 2012 11:12:45 +0000 MarciaH 73080@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>OK. I just posted at Headway. I'll let you know if I hear back. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/styling-the-confirmation-messages#post-73078 Wed, 29 Aug 2012 10:27:50 +0000 David Peralty 73078@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Can you contact them and ask where that CSS should be saved, and why it wouldn't show up? Once we solve that problem, styling anything and everything should be reasonably easy. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/styling-the-confirmation-messages#post-73077 Wed, 29 Aug 2012 10:23:24 +0000 MarciaH 73077@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Would I have the same-- or even worse--problem trying to style the Author's Bio section of the post? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/styling-the-confirmation-messages#post-73076 Wed, 29 Aug 2012 10:18:07 +0000 MarciaH 73076@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p><a href="http://awesomescreenshot.com/0f9ehm656" rel="nofollow">http://awesomescreenshot.com/0f9ehm656</a><br /> I added it here in the Live CSS that Headway offers. It's where I add all my CSS. I don't know why it wouldn't show up. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/styling-the-confirmation-messages#post-73074 Wed, 29 Aug 2012 10:13:39 +0000 David Peralty 73074@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>As for the forum replies, bbpress sometimes bugs out and doesn't send update notifications. It is a well known issue that we hope to rectify in the near future. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/styling-the-confirmation-messages#post-73073 Wed, 29 Aug 2012 10:13:13 +0000 David Peralty 73073@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I'm not seeing that style added to your theme's style sheet. Which file are you editing? Looks like you might need to contact the folks at Headway to see where you need to make stylesheet changes as the file being pulled:</p> <p><a href="http://writerscelebratewriters.com/wp-content/uploads/headway/cache/general-5f40c1e.css?ver=3.4.1" rel="nofollow">http://writerscelebratewriters.com/wp-content/uploads/headway/cache/general-5f40c1e.css?ver=3.4.1</a></p> <p>Doesn't have the style I asked you to add. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/styling-the-confirmation-messages#post-73070 Wed, 29 Aug 2012 09:41:40 +0000 MarciaH 73070@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>And, BTW, I never got notice of your reply even though I'm subscribed to this thread. I just chanced upon it because I received notification of your submission. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/styling-the-confirmation-messages#post-73069 Wed, 29 Aug 2012 09:40:07 +0000 MarciaH 73069@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I just added it, David. And I published your "post." Is there a way to style the Author's Bio part of the post? I don't see where the target would be. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/styling-the-confirmation-messages#post-73065 Wed, 29 Aug 2012 09:25:06 +0000 David Peralty 73065@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Okay, can you add:<br /> <pre><code>#gforms_confirmation_message { background: #ff0000; }</code></pre> <p>To your theme's style.css file please? I want to make sure it is pulling in style changes fine. If the background changes to red, then you should be good to add the rest of your styles like you've listed above, as I don't currently see those styles listed when I inspect the confirmation message with Google Chrome. </p> <p>If you are running a caching plugin, please clear the cache between CSS changes. </p>
