 * Hi there. Love this plugin. I tried setting the text field/area widths to 1000px
   but it seems as if it won’t go past about 500-600px which is about half the page.
   Just wondering if it may be a conflict with my theme or another setting I’ve 
   missed.

 * Hi, check your form overall Div size. That is what stopping your fields from 
   expanding any further.

 * I did that as well and it didn’t change. I believe I changed the right one. Below
   is what I changed.
 * Form DIV:
    “width:99%; max-width:1200px;”

 * Hi, your text area id is **#fscf_field1_26**. If this is the area you wish to
   make changes to.
 * So if you want to increase your text area then add the following code.
 *     ```
       #fscf_field1_26 {
           height: 155px;
           margin: 0 0 10px;
           max-width: 1000px;
           text-align: left;
           width: 966px; <= this is what I changed
       }
       ```

 * I added that to my custom css and that didn’t seem to work.

 * The original change I made was within the Styling area of the plugin. Also, is
   there a reason we are trying to add custom css? My apologies if I’m asking a 
   stupid question. Just trying to understand how this works.
 * My current settings are using the internal style sheet CSS under styles tab and
   changed the:
 * Form DIV:
    “width:99%; max-width:1200px;”
 * Thanks for your help on this.

 * Thanks for your help. Here’s a new example.
 * [http://www.childcarecalgary.com/2016/testing-forms-2/](http://www.childcarecalgary.com/2016/testing-forms-2/)
 * I’ve made changes to:
 * Form Fieldset Box:
    border:1px solid black; width:99%; max-width:1000px; padding:
   10px;
 * Form DIV:
    width:99%; max-width:1000px;
 * As you can see I still can’t get the text and textarea fields to span the full
   width and I’ve changed those to 1000px as well. I must be missing something.

 * Hi please check the following [documentation](http://mbrsolution.com/wordpress/fast-secure-contact-form-center-style.php).
   This will help you understand the different areas of the plugin that need to 
   change when adjusting the width for example.
