paragraphs arent showing line breaks

  1. I have several paragraphs of text to place in the Description at the beginning of the form. It is putting it all together into one big block of text and not showing the paragraph returns I put into the text. I want each paragraph spaced nicely for easy reading. Please help.

  2. The same thing is happening with each question of the form. Some questions are two lines long and I want to create a break between the lines, but it will not allow me to do that.

  3. Hi. Can you please post a URL to your form so we can see what's going on? It's difficult to debug an issue like this without seeing the form in the page.

  4. hi there,
    I got that part fixed, now the second part of the question I put in the "description" area, but now I am having trouble with two things:
    1. The client wants some styling in the description area below the question (she wants the font a little bigger so it's readable) which looks like i will have to hack the style sheet and change the font size, but everytime I update the plugin that will probably override the CSS so I will have to make those changes again and again.
    2. The form will not submit results to her email address. Her email address is at gmail and it is set in the settings to go there and give her all the field entries but she gets nothing. I even tried having it send to my email address and I was not getting any notifications either. The person who submits the form is not getting any notifications either, even though they should. Not sure what's wrong. Several legitimate clients have already filled out the form and we can see the entries on the back end, but no notifications.

  5. @krainsong,

    I can answer issue #1, since I had the same request. I'll agree, the description text is slightly too small.

    I use a custom CSS plugin that allows me to add CSS that will override styles in templates and plugins. The one I'm using is Improved Simpler CSS.

    Just add this CSS and change the font size to whatever you wish:

    .gform_wrapper .top_label .gfield_description {font-size:0.9em;}
