 * The GDPR consent checkbox does not work (you cannot mark it as checked). Even
   when I tried to put a regular checkbox with a message it does not work. It makes
   it impossible for people to send the form.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fcheckboxes-do-not-work%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi mypathintheworld,
 * It looks like the WordPress theme of the site is changing the browser’s default
   appearance for checkbox/radio button inputs and that’s conflicting with WPForms
   styles.
 * To fix this we need some custom CSS:
 *     ```
       .wpforms-container input[type=checkbox] {
       	-webkit-appearance: checkbox !important;
       	-moz-appearance: checkbox !important;
       	appearance: checkbox !important;
       }
       ```
   
 * In case it helps, here’s a tutorial from WPBeginner on [easy ways to add custom CSS](http://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/how-to-easily-add-custom-css-to-your-wordpress-site/)
   like this to your site.
 * I hope this helps 🙂
