    Dear All,

    I seem to be having difficulty sizing my fields from contact form. In accordance with documentation, the source code below should produce a field of 20 chars wide which should scroll to fit a maximum of 50 characters.
    Source:
    <p>Full Name (required)
    [text* frm-name 20/50] </p>

    However that is not so, the field size has been stretched to fit the entire max number of 50 chars? Has anybody encountered something similiar or have I overlook anything.

    Appreciate all help in this matter.

    The overall size of the form elements is generally controlled by the CSS in your current WordPress theme rather than the “size” you use in the Form section of the CF7, which refers to the size of the standard HTML input text element which may or may not control overall element size.

    Use Firebug or Chrome Dev Tools to first understand and then change the CSS used for your CF7 form elements.

    See Styling Contact Form for a general explanation of styling CF7 forms using CSS. If you are not familiar with CSS, this page also includes some links to where you can learn CSS.
