GF Admin Area Has Site Theme CSS

    Hi, I just installed GF on my first site: http://chp40.syr.edu . For background: I don't have an Admin Theme, but the site itself is using a heavily modified version of the ZeeCompany theme.

    The rest of the admin area looks normal, but any pages under the "Forms" subsection are oddly formatted, as if they combine the admin area stylesheet and the theme stylesheet - background is dark grey, links are bold, text color, footer background image, etc. Several other people are going to be using the admin area, and the GF area specifically, and some parts are almost unreadable because of the conflicts.

    I checked the page source of the admin page, and there is a reference to both of the theme's stylesheets in the header - which NONE of the other admin pages have. I have other plugins using the admin.php basepage and they do not have this problem - I tried deactivating all of them to check for conflicts and the problem persisted. I have tried in Chrome, Firefox, and IE and they all look the same - the styles are hardcoded into the PHP somehow (again, even other pages that use admin.php as a basepage don't have this reference).

    Any ideas? Is there any way to stop these css files from being referenced? Is there something in GF that makes these stylesheet references? HELP!

  2. This isn't a Gravity Forms issue. If your theme is modifying the default admin styles, that's going to be a theme support issue. It shouldn't be modifying any admin styles on pages that aren't directly related to the theme settings, etc.

    You should reach out to the theme developer and see what they can do to help you out.

  4. You're welcome. Good luck with it. Hopefully they'll be able to help you with it and it won't cause problems down the line with anything else.
