 * Hi,
 * I just installed the latest version of Cforms2 from Cforms 1.6
 * I backed up both forms being used, I uploaded new Cforms2 and deactivated old
   plugin and activated new plugin.
 * Then I uploaded back of both forms. But for some reason the layout of the form
   is not matching.
 * I couldn’t find any CSS files like the customcss file mentioned in the help document.
 * Could you possibly help?
 * This screenshot of new demo site: [http://screencast.com/t/0CaMRpEHo](http://screencast.com/t/0CaMRpEHo)
 * URL of Demo site: [https://goo.gl/xRvmgf](https://goo.gl/xRvmgf)
 * This is screenshot of live site: [http://screencast.com/t/KvDeBoOtT](http://screencast.com/t/KvDeBoOtT)–
   looks alot better 🙂
 * Many thanks in advance

 * If there is no additional theme in cforms-custom directory that the live site
   uses, they either have customized a stock theme (just look in the theme settings
   which one is activated) or they disabled the cforms theme for various (or all)
   pages. You can do that in global settings.

 * Hi
    Thanks for that.
 * The theme, for the site is bespoke I believe.
 * And all that is in Global Settings is this: [http://screencast.com/t/4vovXOy6](http://screencast.com/t/4vovXOy6)
 * Where is there the ‘cforms’ theme?
 * What I am trying to work out if the CSS or whatever is controlling the style 
   of form when using cforms, what has been removed when upgrading to cformII?
 * Once again many thanks

 * The cforms theme settings are not in Global Settings, they have their own menu
   item in the cforms menu, called “Styling”. It is not hard to find… On your demo
   site the current cforms theme is wide_open_no_border.
 * But – as I said – you can disable that theme for some pages, which you do in 
   Global settings at first item “Include cforms header…”. Maybe the live site uses
   this feature.
 * If you gave me a link (not just a screenshot) to live site, I could tell you 
   what is the case there.

 * Hi,
 * I have found the ‘styling’ area and selected a css theme that closely matches
   what I Am looking for…I then edit it directly, just to make sure I am changing
   the right CSS file…but even when I take ‘form width’ from 400 to 100px nothing
   happens

 * Setting “form width” would apply only to forms which do not have any width set.
   You should copy the plugins/cforms2/styling/wide_form.css that you use to plugins/
   cforms-custom/wide_form.css and adjust the `url(../images/button-bg.gif)` to `
   url(../cforms2/images/button-bg.gif)`.
 * To set the right width for your form’s input elements you should have a look 
   at the following section in the CSS file:
 *     ```
       .cform textarea,
       .cform input {
       	width:415px;
       }
       .cform select {
       	width:421px; /* attempt to have equal length */
       }
       ```
   
 * Additionally, you should remove the background line in `.cform label` rule.

 * And you have to select the new custom CSS file in Styling section.
