# Remove Overwriting CSS

 * I was wondering if there was an easy way to remove the default CSS that WPForms
   ads, I’ve set my personal theme to just base itself on the input/textarea, rather
   than specific classes. These are overwritten by the plugins css.
 * Is there any direct way to disable default form styling plugin wise, or do I 
   really have to add classes to everything and overwrite the already overwritten
   code?

 * Not a problem.
 * In the WPForms settings you can change how the form styling is handled. See [https://cl.ly/3J091B2d330G](https://cl.ly/3J091B2d330G)
 * By default we load our own form styling which overrides your theme.
 * Selecting base styling will load only critical styles and try to let your theme
   handle the rest. This is likely what you are looking for.
 * Selecting none will not load any styles and will typically require further work
   with the CSS, so this is only recommended for developers.
 * Hope this helps!

 * Thanks a bunch, this was exactly what I was searching for.
    I was searching for
   this in the actual form settings, the global plugin settings totally missed my
   sight!
 * So thank you for the response 😉
