My Favourite WordPress cForms Styling Skin
Every WordPress site – without exception – I build has the free WordPress plugin cForms somehow tied in, it’s the ultimate contact form e-mailer plugin for WordPress and Delicious Days have carved out a beautiful solution.
I feel an area for improvement that the cForms community can deliver are great looking ‘skins’ for cForms II; the developer of cForms II refers to them as ‘styles’ but that’s just confusing for newbies. I’ve uploaded the cForms II skin I use here on my Visser Labs Contact page, I hope it brightens up your site!
Download Visser Labs skin for cforms II
Instructions
- Extract cforms-visserlabs.css to your Desktop
- Open your preferred FTP editor to connect to your website
- Create a new directory in /wp-content/plugins/… called ‘cforms-custom’ if you haven’t already
- Upload cforms-visserlabs.css to /wp-content/plugins/cforms-custom/
- Log in to WordPress Administration
- Open cforms -> Styling
- Select cforms-visserlabs.css under *** custom css files *** within the Styling drop-down
- Press Select Style to save changes
That’s it, now open a WordPress Post or Page that contains a cForms contact form and your contact form should be looking slick.
Cheers to that! I just made my default theme available for download at http://wordpresstheming.com/2009/11/cforms-styles/.
Hey Devin, your cforms style looks great! Keen to see more WordPress developers putting their cforms styling skins up for sharing
thanx for your style i musing now
I’ve been looking for a way to have multiple forms with different themes/styles each on my website using cforms. It appears that I can only use one styling for every stinking form I create, which is stupid because I may want to have a sidebar contact form and another form on a page that different and larger. I cannot find how to do this the easy way. Would you know how to do this? Thanks.
