 * I’m trying to set the width size of a text area with:
 *  [textarea your-message 300/ ]
 * But remains on the default width.
 * How can i fix it?
 * Thanks

 * Add this to your theme’s CSS stylesheet:
 *     ```
       .wpcf7 textarea {
           width: 300em;
       }
       ```

 * Thanks! 🙂
 * I’ve added this:
 *     ```
       .wpcf7 text {
           width: 50em;
       }
       ```
   
 * but without effect on text field.

 * Because you have no “text” element there. Use this instead:
 *     ```
       .wpcf7 input[type="text"] {
           width: 50em;
       }
       ```

 * But I have a cache folder, my question is if I have to delete the files in that
   folder that belongs to the template?
