# can’t select submit class

 * I am able to target .wpcf7-textarea in my custom css and make some css changes
   there. However when I try to target the submit button, it seems like it is ignored.
   I instead have to target the following which makes even less sense to me:
 * `.button:not(.components-button):not(.customize-partial-edit-shortcut-button),
   input[type=button]:not(.components-button):not(.customize-partial-edit-shortcut-
   button), input[type=reset]:not(.components-button):not(.customize-partial-edit-
   shortcut-button), input[type=submit]:not(.components-button):not(.customize-partial-
   edit-shortcut-button)`
 * I have tried adding a html-class to the shortcode, but then I can’t seem to target
   that and it is ignored:
 * `[contact-form-7 id="100" title="Message"html_id="contact-form-1234" html_class
   ="form contact-form"]`
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fcant-select-submit-class%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_
