How to alter layout of the "Attach File" label, button & info

    I would like to modify slightly the layout/display of:
    1. The BROWSE button
    2. The “Acceptable file types” info
    3. The “Maximum file size” info
    as they appear with the Attached-file field.

    HERE’S A LINKED IMAGE FILE showing the standard layout at top, and my intended layout below:

    I apologize. I haven’t a clue as to how to edit the code or where to find it. A while back someone told me, “WordPress makes everything easy!” Well, maybe if you already know CSS…

    I’m sure the adjustment is very simple if one knows:
    1) WHERE to find the code
    2) HOW to modify it

    I LOVE the plugin and the forms, and would much appreciate a few tips on how to proceed. Thanks.

    I would be glad to, but I’m developing on my own XAMPP localhost. I don’t think there’s any way for me to link to that…

    Hopefully the linked image I provided will be enough for anyone familiar with this particular plugin. Thanks.

    Hi try the following. This code needs to be added to the div tag of the Browser button. Remember to play around with the settings.

    element.style {
    bottom: 25px; ==== I added this
    left: 65px; ==== I added this
    position: relative; ==== I added this
    text-align: left;
}

    Thanks very much. That’s exactly the type and level of assistance I was hoping for. I hate to be such a noob, but I don’t know which file to modify by adding your suggested code. I tried using the Plugins > Editor to search the terms ‘Browse’ and ‘Attach’, but I’m just confusing myself…

    Your best option is to use firebug addon in Firefox browser or use view inspect element in Google Chrome and or Firefox browsers. Check the following URL which gives you an example of how to achieve this.

    Hi I have been looking for the field area to help you further. I my test platform the id is fscf_field4_4. Use the method I mention previously to track down the CSS id.

    Thank you for your efforts in my behalf, but I’m “lost in the sauce” as the old TV commercial used to say.

    My WP site is almost ready and I’m quite pleased, but it’s been a very arduous process. The only thing that confuses me MORE than WP is the Firefox Firebug application… Duh. I’ll just have to live with form layout as it is, but THANKS very much.

    Hi BothHands I understand what you mean. Can you mark this support thread as resolved.

    Later on when your site is online and you wish to investigate this issue further you can open up a new support thread and I will help you.

    Sure. It’s not actually ‘resolved’ but I think it’s ‘done’… Haha

    Thanks again for your efforts/assistance.

    I already *did* check the box that says, “Mark this topic as Resolved.”

    I did that when I wrote my Post #10.

    I’ll try *again* to mark it as *Resolved* now, with this Post #12.

    If it doesn’t work this time, I guess the thread will just remain UNresolved which is actually the accurate state of the matter…

    Just remember once your website is live, open up a new support thread and add your URL with the contact form. I will then investigate further for you.

    Kind regards
