RE: The font in the drop down menu doesn’t match the fonts that appear when you type into the input boxes. Where can I change this???
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 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.
The most common and preferred method is to create a Child Theme and make any necessary additions to the CSS in the child themes style.css only, rather than directly in the themes styles.css. That way you don’t loose your changes when you update the theme.
Use Firebug or Chrome Dev Tools to examine the HTML and CSS of your CF7 form in detail. Once you understand how the HTML and CSS is configured in your CF7 form, you should be able to see the CSS changes you need to change the appearance of the form to suit your requirements.
Also good idea to target CSS classes & ids used within your CF7 forms only, so that your CSS changes don’t inadvertantly effect other elements on your website.
If you are uncomfortable editing CSS style sheets you may prefer to use a custom CSS plugin like My Custom CSS.
RE: The email that is sent when the form is submitted is Times New Roman – is there a way to change this???
Select Use HTML content type in Mail Section of CF7 interface and include font style in Message body: section of CF7 interface. Search Google to learn how to style HTML emails.
