Insert Form and Look of Form

    I have a developer's license and am using it for the first time today on a website I am creating.

    I created a Contact Us page. When I click the gravity form icon, it brings up the window Insert a Form. I can click that all day, but it doesn't insert anything. I have no plugins active other than Gravity Forms. It does work if I insert [gravityform id=1 title=false description=false] into the html window.

    When I look at the form online, it looks weird. The date field doesn't bring up the calendar. I figure it is a variable of the theme, but don't know where I would modify the css.

    Thank you in advance for your help.

    It sounds like all the necessary scripts aren't being loaded, this could be because of a faulty installation. You can try deleting and reinstalling the entire gravityforms plugin folder and see if that fixes the problem.

    Kevin, I uninstalled and reinstalled and that worked.

    Second part of my post above is how do I change the css? The url is http://verandanocona.com/contact-us/

    Thank you.

    Great. The best way to do CSS modifications is to open the /wp-content/plugins/gravityforms/css/forms.css file, copy the entire contents and then go to your theme's style.css file and append (don't replace anything) the styles to the end of that file.

    Once you've done this, go to the Gravity Forms settings page in the admin and set the "output css" option to "no". This will turn off the defaults.

    This way, you can tweak the CSS all you like and your changes won't be overwritten with any future plugin updates.

    I noticed that your form is inheriting bullet images, so you might want to incorporate the fix that's listed in the FAQ section as well.
