How do I increase font size and change color for entries?

  1. I'm new at this. Forms work well except any entry shows very dark and small. I'm concerned that it may stop someone from contacting us through a form. I don't know how to change this. The theme is dark. You can preview one of these to see the problem, here:

    Thanks for any suggestions.

  2. Go ahead and drop this CSS into your theme's stylesheet:

    [css]
    .gform_wrapper input[type="text"], .gform_wrapper input[type="url"], .gform_wrapper input[type="email"], .gform_wrapper input[type="tel"], .gform_wrapper input[type="number"], .gform_wrapper input[type="password"] {
    color: #ccc;
    }

  3. Thanks! Now I just have to identify the right css. My theme css to edit just points to the header.php to identify the css loading sequence - no css directly available in Wordpress editor. My guess is I'll have to look at the original theme download files, find the right one and edit. As you can see, really new at this, but I'm good at keeping and original copy! I'm expert at prepress for printing, but not this. Am enjoying it anyway.

    You will be looking for assets/stylesheets/base.css in your theme. Let us know if you have any other issues.

  5. I found the base.css, added the code and it works except for the "question" field. I had edited that to be a larger text size, found and removed that edit but the text is still dark in that area. I'll try to find out how to change that back, but am not overly concerned about it. The rest is much better. Thanks again.

  6. Hmm. Just checked this page that also uses a Gravity form - http://www.acgprint.com/support-when-you-need-it/ The "questions" field here is also dark and any entry in the phone field is too light to see. Not sure what the answer is to this. I'll look into changing the skin on those pages but that wouldn't address the phone field problem.
