Side-by-side fields are appearing stacked

  1. Simple fields such as "Name" that shows as First Name to the left the Last Name to the right are showing up stacked - not beside each other. This is pretty ugly and makes for a very long form. I'm using React theme. I'm a newbie. Thanks for any help.

  2. Probably a conflict in the theme css, can you post a link to your form so I can help you out here.

  3. All of the forms I'm using show this problem. I emailed the theme author as well. Here is the link to the unfinished site address: ACGPrint.com. Check out the contact, get a quote and upload a file pages. Thanks!

  4. It doesn't look like you are outputting our CSS here, which means you will have to create your own CSS rules to target the elements. I do see in your theme you have have style references to just the standard label and input elements. Our stylesheet targets gravity forms inputs and labels, for example, via classes and IDs we output in the form code. Have you tried turning on outputting our styles in the settings of the plugin (where you input your license key)?

    If you choose to do that, we can see what happens and what needs tweaked at the theme level to try to bring it more into line with your style goals.

  5. Genius. I had that turned off. Forms look great now, or at least they're doing what I told them to. I've got to figure out how to add a captcha with the file upload option, and also limit the file size. If you have a quick simple answer, great, but I really haven't looked very hard at those two things yet. I really like Gravity forms. We have another site - more traditional - and the forms were made some other way by our web guy. Not nearly as nice or as functional. Someday I'd like to see if I could use forms to get submitted data as either delimited or Excel files. I'm way far away from that stuff today! We're testing a site like this to see if social media might snag us some more customers. Printing industry is pretty bad. Thanks again.

  6. Right now there is no built-in way to control the upload file size, however it is being looked at for a future release, you can find more information about that starting with this topic here:

    Glad we got the styling part sorted out though!
