Custom CSS disappeared

  1. Added custom CSS to my forms yesterday and today after updating all of my custom code is gone and default code is back. Is this a coincidence or is this normal? I should have made a local copy yes, but didn't think it was necessary.

  2. You should never edit the forms css file in the plugin for this very reason. When you update the plugin it will get overwritten, it actually says this in the CSS file too. I assume this was your case. So, you should always put your custom styles in your theme's stylesheet.

  3. Yeah, I'm curious how you missed the note at the top of the CSS file. It's pretty obvious.

    NOTE: DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE! MAKE ANY MODIFICATIONS IN YOUR THEME STYLESHEET. THIS FILE IS REPLACED DURING AUTO-UPDATES AND ANY CHANGES MADE HERE WILL BE OVERWRITTEN.

    If you need to make extensive customizations, copy the contents of this file to your theme style sheet for editing. Then, go to the form settings page & set the 'output CSS' option to no.
