 * How do you change the width of the boxes, particularly the “Your Message” box.
   I would like to make it smaller to match the size of the other boxes

 * Generally in your main theme css file, there is an option for width, you’ll need
   to adjust it in there. I had this same issue using the RT theme 11.

 * I don’t see where to change it in the main theme. It’s the box created by the
   plugin itself whose width I want to change. Is this the same issue you had?

 * Yes, for some reason, changing the width in the css file for the plugin would
   not work for me, I had to open the css file of the theme, and I found in a string
   in there for contact width; by changing this, it worked for the plugin.
