Title: Submit button Last modified: March 17, 2021 --- # Submit button * Resolved [larryfields.007](https://wordpress.org/support/users/larryfields007/) * (@larryfields007) * [5 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/submit-button-73/) * When I use your plugin it changes the submit button back to a basic black instead of the styling I have selected in my global settings in my theme. It also makes text off center in the button and also in my drop down box. When you look at the preview it looks OK but when I view it on the page it is place into these off center problems appear. I am only using the Contact Form 7 as a half width page.The actual page is not published, yet. I hope the preview works. * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fsubmit-button-73%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 5 replies - 1 through 5 (of 5 total) * Plugin Author [Aurovrata Venet](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aurovrata/) * (@aurovrata) * [5 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/submit-button-73/#post-14198783) * > I hope the preview works. * it doesn’t. * > When I use your plugin it changes the submit button back to a basic black * no it doesn’t. the plugin has no effect on the colour of your button. this is entirely a result of your theme or some other plugin. * As general rule of thumb the plugin only styles the layout (rows/columns) and few minor styling tules on the look such as borders and sizes, but the submit button colour isn’t one of them. * > I have selected in my global settings in my theme. * that won’t make any difference.

I have published the page now, the URL is: [https://lfphotographics.com/start-your-order/](https://lfphotographics.com/start-your-order/) The color of the button is black. It is set to #aa0085 with a black border in my global theme settings. It is not supposed to be black. I have tried everything to correct it. Plus when you click the “send” button the popup that tells me the “accept” box hasn’t been checked is half hidden. I’ve tried everything to correct this problem as well. Nothing works. * **Interestingly enough, when I click the “send” button the hover color changes to what it is supposed to be.** > > > As general rule of thumb the plugin only styles the layout (rows/columns) and few minor styling tules on the look such as borders and sizes, but the submit button colour isn’t one of them. > > I have selected in my global settings in my theme. > > that won’t make any difference.

So it is your plugin that is causing the problem. * Plugin Author [Aurovrata Venet](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aurovrata/) * (@aurovrata) * [5 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/submit-button-73/#post-14198904) * > So it is your plugin that is causing the problem. * I don’t deny that the plugin changes the HTML structure of your form which in turn does not abide by the same CSS rules, but I again maintain that no background colour is applied to your submit button. * > Tried this already. I entered CSS in your custom CSS tab and it had no effect. > I also tried adding custom CSS in my theme CSS box and that doesn’t work, either. * because you don’t understand how CSS rules are applied and how you need to ensure your CSS custom rules supersede the existing ones. * > YES it does.
