 * Hello,
 * I have a problem with my form.
    The text in the boxes doesn’t appear. The text
   is actually white, I don’t know why, and I tried to change its color but it never
   worked. I’d like to put the text in black in the boxes.
 * Also, I would also like to change the color of the submit messages I get (like“
   Thank you, the mail has been successfully sent”).
 * I don’t know if I should post here or on the theme’s creator’ forum, so sorry
   if I made a mistake.
 * Please help me with this.
 * Thank you in advance!
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Ftexts-doesnt-show%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * This is due to CSS styling applied to HTML elements within your current WordPress
   theme. To change the style of your CF7 forms you would need to edit the CSS style
   sheets used by your WordPress theme.
 * See [Styling Contact Form](https://contactform7.com/styling-contact-form/) – 
   there is a link to an article I wrote at the bottom of that page (which is recommended
   by the CF7 plugin author, though I’m not allowed to link directly to it here),
   that covers this topic in detail.
