 * I tried changing the max-width for all the fields and nothing is making the text
   boxes wider. What can I do to widen them?

 * Hi, where did you add the max-width? Can you share your URL with the form and
   point out which field you have added the max-length too? You might like to read
   the following [instructions](http://mbrsolution.com/wordpress/fast-secure-contact-form-style-formatting.php).
   Let me know if they help you.

 * I tried changing the widths on all the DIV lines, for example from width:655px;
   to 800px but it never changed anything. The URL is [http://tovaphotography.com/2599-2/](http://tovaphotography.com/2599-2/).
 * I read the instructions but am a little confused – I want to make each field 
   box longer horizontally.
 * Thank you!

 * Hi, it is very strange your settings. It won’t allow me to increase the width
   for Name, Email and Subject. Can you check to make sure you have not added any
   customize CSS in the following fields. Go to Fields tab and check the following
   Input CSS:.
 * If you have not entered any customize CSS in the above field can you test one
   of WordPress default themes like Twenty Fifteen and or Sixteen.
 * Thank you

 * I have added this custom CSS to my site:
    .site { max-width: 65.5714rem; } .site-
   header h1, .site-header h2 { text-align: center; } body { font-size: 20px;
 * If this is causing it, is there a work around to still edit the form?

 * That code might be causing this issue. Can you remove it just to test it further.
   Then you will know if it is causing this issue on the contact forms.

 * What code should I be changing now to widen each box? Nothing seems to be working.
   Thanks
