Hi jr.allen,
The plugin uses base styles by default, which just control the layout but try to preserve your theme’s fonts/colors. It has an option “classic” style as well. You can switch to this by going to Menus > Settings.
Unfortunately, that’s all there is for styling the basic plugin. To do more, you’ll need to know how to use CSS styles to customize the look of your site.
Woops! Sorry jr.allen, I thought you were asking about my Food and Drink Menu plugin. I see now you’re talking about the Restaurant Reservations plugin.
Restaurant Reservations uses only very basic styling to try to adopt the style of your site. Most decent themes should handle the form elements alright, but you’ll need to know some CSS code to really make it look good. (The screenshots show the form on the Twenty Fourteen theme with no customizations.)
If there’s a particular problem you want to fix, you can post a link to your site and I’ll take a look. But I can’t promise a lot.
I see well the problem is the Theme i’m using doesn’t really do it any favours, would you like me to screen shot how it shows up ? http://carriagesitalianrestaurant.co.uk.gridhosted.co.uk/reservation/ there is a link to the website if you just scroll down you will see that it doesn’t look the best. Thanks Let me know
Hi jr.allen,
Ok, it looks like there are a couple issues.
1. It looks like you’re using the Avada theme. I’m actually shocked that they don’t provide sane defaults for form fields. They seem to build every other option into their themes.
2. The stylesheet that my plugin loads does not appear to be getting loaded properly. It’s there in the source and the pickadate styles for the date/time popups are working fine. But for some reason none of the link elements exist in the DOM, and none of the styles are being applied.
To be honest, I think this is really a theme issue and I think you should approach Avada and ask for help. They should be providing sane defaults for common form elements, which this plugin uses. But there also appears to be something breaking the loading of the plugin’s stylesheet. Avada would be my first guess, because bloated themes like this often lead to strange conflicts. But it could be any number of things, to be honest.
Since you’ve purchased a product with Avada, I hope they’ll provide you with proper support for it.
