Unhappy with documentation etc

  1. I thought this plug-in was going to be point and click. I have added fields, that part is easy but I've no idea how to add colours, fonts and styles. I can't do coding so was hoping to have something easy to style, like the Aweber forms are but with more options since this plug-in is purely for designing forms. Really surprised that there are NO training videos, in this day and age, that is really poor. I had no idea how to get the form to show on my site and found the answer on YouTube not on this site. This is not a cheap plug-in, specially for the developer option. You can get 3 complete Woo Wordpress themes (developer option) for less and that's for life, not just one year. I really hope I'm missing something and this plugin isn't as terrible value as I'm currently thinking it is. Please help.

  2. I understand your frustration.

    Gravity Forms is designed to inherit the style of your theme. It's designed to blend in, not stand out. As such, there are no themes available. You have complete control over the style of the forms, through CSS in your theme's stylesheet. If you are not good with CSS, I will admit that it will appear a little daunting at first. However, if you have a form online, and have changes to you want to make to the style, please post the URL and your requested changes, and we'll be happy to help.

    We are planning on adding videos which show how to use Gravity Forms.

    If you have any specific issues right now with a specific form, please feel free to begin a new topic, and post the URL and your request there, and we'll be happy to help.

  3. This is my url : http://hotchipotleseo.com/ This is a new site so I'm just experimenting with new colours etc and given that I can't do css, could you arrange a refund. I'm sure I ticked the subscribe to this topic box last time. but I got no email, just lucky i remembered my tags as you have no option for me to click so that i can view my previous posts. Just wondering, is the form on my site white because my site background is white, is that what you mean by blend in?

  4. What type of style did you want to add to your sidebar form? You can target your sidebar widget form like this in its entirety:

    [css]
    body .gform_widget .gform_wrapper {
       background-color: #909090;
       padding: .5em;
    }

    That will give the whole form an ugly grey background and put a little padding around the form fields. If you have a specific request to add a certain style to the form, please let us know and we will help you target it.

    We have a documentation page almost entitled that exact phrase:
    http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Where_Do_I_Put_This_Code%3F

    It would go in your theme's style.css file.
