# Theme selection has no effect

 * The datepicker does work, but selecting and saving a datepicker theme is not 
   rendered in the webpage. All I get is the black/grey theme.
 * I could start and add CSS to achieve this, but it does seem a lot of work when
   a built in theme would be fine for most of the time.
 * Can this be fixed please?
    Thanks Lencw

 * I am also experiencing this. Did you find a solution?

 * I found out what my issue was. The datepicker plugin loads the CSS using CF7’
   s `wpcf7_enqueue_styles` hook. As I had defined in my wp_config.php file not 
   to load the CF7 CSS (`define ('WPCF7_LOAD_CSS', false);`) the datepicker CSS 
   never gets loaded. If this is what you have done then a workaround is to enqueue
   the CSS using the `wpcf7_enqueue_scripts` hook instead. Hope this helps.

 * Thank you for your solution.
 * I think the plugin is not compatible with the latest version of the wordpress
   4.0.1. Since it isn´t, I wrote the code “define(‘WPCF7_LOAD_CSS’, true);” in 
   the wp_config.php file and it works properly.
