Having some trouble with my form - showing up completely black...

  1. Hello -
    I am loving GravityForms, but having some issues with the form coming up with a black background. You can see it here - http://www.ReputationAssured.com - just click the Get Free Report button right under the slider.

    Could anybody help me out with fixing this? I have limited css and html knowledge

    Thanks a lot in advance,
    Will

  2. Hey Will, it looks like that styling is coming from the EasyModal stylesheet:

    http://www.reputationassured.com/wp-content/plugins/easy-modal/themes/default/styles.css?ver=3.3.1

    [css]
    #eModal-Container {
    position: absolute;
    border: 5px solid white;
    -moz-border-radius: 10px;
    border-radius: :10px;
    padding: 20px;
    color: white;
    background: black;
    z-index: 1001;
    }

    What is your goal for this modal box form in terms of styling? Also, I'd assume you wouldn't want this to affect other modal boxes site-wide, or is that not an issue?

  3. Thanks for the response Rob,

    I wouldnt mind making the change site wide. I tried to make the changes to the stylesheet referenced about, but it didnt seem to work...Im not sure how to see where it is coming from though, could you see if it is still showing in black on yours? It doesnt seem to be working...

    Thanks a lot for the help,
    Will

  4. I'm guessing that easyModal is a plugin, so you're best bet is probably to just try to override the styles via your theme's stylesheet. So when you make future updates to the plugin as they release updates, you won't have to worry about your styles getting overwritten again. You may need to use !important tags to do the override in your theme's stylesheet. How comfortable are you with writing CSS?

  5. Not very comfortable, but I am guessing I can just copy it from the stylesheet I just edited and put it at the bottom of my theme one, right?
