 * Hi, i’m using form 7 on a “Spacious” theme and I want to add an extra field to
   my form for websites but it’s not showing up like the other fields. you can see
   this at
 * [http://gcseo.net/contact](http://gcseo.net/contact)
 * the code is the same-
 * <p>Your Name (required)
    [text* your-name] </p>
 * <p>Your Email (required)
    [email* your-email] </p>
 * <p>Your Website
    [url YourWebsite] </p>
 * <p>Subject
    [text your-subject] </p>
 * <p>Your Message
    [textarea your-message] </p>
 * <p>[submit “Send”]</p>
 * Does anyone know what the problem could be?

 * The actual look of CF7 forms on your website will depend largely on the current
   WordPress theme used and the CSS styling that theme applies to standard HTML 
   form elements.
 * This is due to CSS styling applied to standard HTML form elements within your
   current WordPress theme.
 * To change the style of your CF7 forms you would need to edit the CSS style sheets
   used by your WordPress theme.
 * See [Styling Contact Form](http://contactform7.com/styling-contact-form/) for
   a general explanation of styling CF7 forms using CSS.
 * There is a link at the bottom of the page to a comprehensive and detailed article
   on **Styling Contact Form 7 Forms**. The article shows people, with suitable 
   HTML & CSS skills, how to change the appearance of their Contact Form 7 Forms
   to meet their particular requirements.

 * Looks like the CSS in your current WordPress theme does not cater for this new
   HTML5 url input field type.
 * [Why does my email address field look different](http://contactform7.com/faq/#Why_does_my_email_address_input_field_look_different)
   gives some guidance on how make these fields look the same in your current WordPress
   theme.
