    Hi friends,

    I’m looking for a way to get better control over the Enfold Contact Form. I wonder, is there a way to build the fields and button using Short Codes? Is there a “long way” to build it with HTML elements, styled in a particular way? I’m up for it.

    Specifically, the two things I’m trying to do are:

    • Give a Form a bounding <div>. If this were the case, we’d be able to use different colours so the Forms don’t have a transparent background. My reason for this would be to use them within a Color Section. I’d also be able to adjust the padding more precisely or add rounded corners, etc.
    • Arrange all elements in a single line rather than with button below. This is a common request on the internet in general, and I’d love to do it with Enfold.

    Here’s a screenshot of my current setup, which is done manually using HTML elements, and thus doesn’t look great.

    Thanks for any insight you can offer.

    Hi Prescott!

    Thank you for using Enfold.

    Yes, this possible but will require major modification on the theme. You can try the contact form 7 plugin.

    That’s basically a “no.” CF7 is functional, but generally very tough to style. Is there a way to build a form with CF7 but adopt the Enfold styles?

    Hi!

    Our contact form has a width option which you can set the name and email fields to 1/3 to have them display all on one line like that. What you could do is switch to the default editor and insert the contact form that way and add the div around the shortcode.

    Best regards,
    Elliott

    Nice, they all appear on a single-line now. Big help — thanks!
