Yes, but 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.
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.
If you find you need more detailed advice, after reading and working through the above links, please include a link to your Contact Form 7 form, so others here can examine your form in detail using Firebug or Chrome Dev Tools to understand the CSS used for your CF7 form elements and provide you with a possible solution.
The word (Required) is just written text. It is possible to type the asterisk manually. However, you can style this also. For instance using CSS:
.required:after{
content:'*';
color:#f00;
}
or SASS:
.required {
&:after{
content:'*';
color:#f00;
}
}
For the guidance, you can for instance put the following in the Contact Form editor:
<p>Please note that fields with an asterisk (<label class="required"></label>) are required fields.</p>
And to use it in the form itself, you could use for instance:
<label class="required">Your Name</label> for required field labels and <label class="anything_but_required">Your Name</label> for the optional fields.
This makes it consistent throughout.
@favdv – that’s a great tip!
