Are you making the changes in your theme's stylesheet? CSS shouldn't be changed with upgrades. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/validation-error-styling#post-73004 Tue, 28 Aug 2012 20:43:29 +0000 arlyon 73004@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <pre><code>[css] .gform_wrapper .validation_error { color: blue; }</code></pre> <p>This is the code I have currently added to my theme .css file. All I want to do is change all error messages with my form from #790000 to blue. I have tried using more specificity than this, but to no avail. I tried using "!important", but no changes. Seems like a simple enough task, but because the css for gravity forms is overwritten with upgrades, I can't make the changes there, and gravity forms css is overriding my theme css, even when I use EXTREME specificity (which I shouldn't have to do, if I want to change ALL validation error message... right?)</p> <p>I read forums that suggested the methods I have already tried that haven't worked. Can someone help? I'm sure it is an easy fix that I'm just not seeing...</p> <p>Thanks! </p>
