Increase text box height in Contact Form widget?

Hi Monica Hilderbrand

You can change this with some custom CSS. Open the contact widget you wish to edit, then go over to the widget styles sidebar and open up the attributes grouping. Input a widget class that will be later used in our CSS. For this example I’m going to use contact_form

Save your page and then, navigate to AppearanceCustom CSS, you’ll get our custom CSS editor. Just add the following code.

.contact_form .sow-form-field-textarea {
    height: 250px;
}

Be sure to adjust the height so your textarea is the correct height.

You might also need to install the SiteOrigin CSS Editor.

Hi Monica,

It’s possible it’s being overridden by something else Do you have a public URL where we can take a look at what’s going on? If you need to keep this URL private from other users, just select “Private Reply” on the bottom right of the comment box.

Hi Monica,

I’ve had a look and your theme is making your textarea look so small. It’s however, not the issue at fault here; my CSS is. Please update the CSS I gave you with the following CSS. If you navigate to AppearanceCustom CSS, you’ll get our custom CSS editor. Just add the following code.

.contact_form .sow-form-field-textarea textarea {
    height: 250px;
}
.contact_form .sow-form-field-textarea {
    margin-bottom: 100px;
}

You might also need to install the SiteOrigin CSS Editor.
