    Could you tell me how you would increase the subject line for CF7 “DESCRIBE THE ISSUE AND HOW WE CAN HELP”

    http://dev4.novelcreativeagency.com/contact-us-today/

    i tried:

    #input.wpcf7-form-control.wpcf7-text

    that works in chrome inspector but not in the customizer.

    I basically want to be able to see two lines of text instead of just one if poss.

    thanks so much

    lol is this a response for something else, its nothing to do with the site as a whole, just a specific question on how to make the subject field named as “DESCRIBE THE ISSUE AND HOW WE CAN HELP” taller, so two lines of text can appear instead of just one.

    Thanks

    Hi there,

    If I have understood it corrected, you want the label DESCRIBE THE ISSUE AND HOW WE CAN HELP to be displayed in two lines. If so, you can edit the form and in the form code, edit the label and place a <br /> tag to the part of the text where you want to be displayed in the second line like DESCRIBE THE ISSUE<br /> AND HOW WE CAN HELP.

    Hope this helps.

    so within the CF7 form field it looks like this:

    <p>YOUR NAME (FIRST AND LAST):<br />
    [text* your-name] </p>

    <p>PHONE (INCLUDE AREA CODE:<br />
    [tel phone]

    <p>EMAIL:<br />
    [email email]

    <p>DESCRIBE THE ISSUE AND HOW WE CAN HELP:<br />
    [text subject]

    [submit “.”]

    Where in there do i add the code exactly?

    thanks so much

    Hi there,

    Thanks for updating the thread! You can put the <br /> code where you want to break that line into two, for example:

    <p>YOUR NAME (FIRST AND LAST):<br />
    [text* your-name] </p>
    
    <p>PHONE (INCLUDE AREA CODE:<br />
    [tel phone]
    
    <p>EMAIL:<br />
    [email email]
    
    <p>DESCRIBE THE ISSUE AND <br />HOW WE CAN HELP:<br />
    [text subject]
    
    [submit "."]

    It is inserted before the word HOW in HOW WE CAN HELP.

    Let us know how that goes. Hope this helps – thanks!

    omg, you know why this has confused me for so long, i know about <br />

    but whenever themeco has emailed me back the text always looks like this:

    <br />

    instead of

    <br />

    lol

    thanks though, i was wondering why your forum page looked nothing like the email you sent and even sometimes the forum page does not display the break code correctly.

    Hi there,

    Thanks for updating. It’s really hard to understand the situation based on your given information. However I think you want to make the box bigger, right? In that case you should use textarea instead of text :

    [textarea subject]

    If you need to make it more bigger vertically then you can increase rows :

    [textarea subject rows="4"]

    If you still have any question, kindly add screenshots as it explains better than words.

    Cheers!

    Hello There,

    Thanks for the updates! The “DESCRIBE THE ISSUE AND HOW WE CAN HELP” will always be one liner because it is just a text field. If you want to have at least two lines, you should edit your contact form and replace the text field with a textarea. Please make use of this instead:

    <p>YOUR NAME (FIRST AND LAST):<br />
        [text* your-name] </p>
    
    <p>PHONE (INCLUDE AREA CODE:<br />
    [tel phone]
    
    <p>EMAIL:<br />
    [email email]
    
    <p>DESCRIBE THE ISSUE AND HOW WE CAN HELP:<br />
    [textarea subject 40x2]
    
    [submit "."]

    For your reference, please check out how to make use of the contact form 7 elements.
