# Form field width

 * I’m trying to figure out why my form isn’t letting me set the ‘size’ & ‘max size’(*
   both optional fields). No matter what numbers I put in there the form fields 
   are always the same size. I’d like to make them wider but nothing I’ve tried 
   so far is letting me widen the form fields. They always seem to be displaying
   about 1/3 of the page no matter where I put it.
 * The shortcode is NOT in [one_third] [/one_third_last] code either. According 
   to a screenshot and pixel measurement it seems to always be displaying at 252px
   wide no matter if I put 600 or something else in the ‘size’ area.
 * Any ideas?
 * I’m on WordPress 3.4.2 and I have the Scope WordPress theme installed.

   are always the same size.
 * Did you resolve this?

 * @ srenata.ms – No, I haven’t resolved it yet. I’ve tried a few different things
   with CSS and nothing seems to be working for me. I have much larger problems 
   to worry about so I’ll just use the default form that my template uses just to
   make it easy.
