 * I am new to this plugin and not to good with coding. What is the best way to 
   set up a very simple form (name, phone, email, submit) to be all be displayed
   horizontally. I assume it will take some css so I want to style it so the css
   will work. Not sure if I should choose INHERIT or NONE or whatever. I will need
   help with the css…if that is beyond your support help I understand and will find
   someone to help me. See it here:

 * Hey there,
 * We could manage to have a horizontal form on your page.
 * You have to do the following steps to achieve that:
    1. You have to navigate 
   to the CSS editor part of our Add-on. This should look like as on the following
   image: [https://s.w.org/plugins/contact-form-7-style/screenshot-6.jpg](https://s.w.org/plugins/contact-form-7-style/screenshot-6.jpg)(
   please ignore the setup from the image yours should be empty)
 * 2. Add the following CSS snippet to the field on that page:
 *     ```
       body .cf7-style.cf7-style-132 p {
           display: inline-block;
       }
       ```
   
 * 3. The result should look like this: [http://screencast.com/t/3L2c5IxW](http://screencast.com/t/3L2c5IxW)
   
   Warning: Please be careful, this will only work with current active custom style.

 * THANKS SO MUCH. I sort of have what I want after playing around with all the 
   options. I am stuck on two things:
    I cannot figure out why I have all that space
   above the form..I want it to snug up right under the the headline above it. The
   box allowed for the form has a huge amount of space above it and I am not sure
   what option I should be setting to change that.
 * Also, the client wants a two line bit of copy for the phone number and I sort
   of accomplished that by adding another content box but I am wondering if it would
   be better to add it to the form itself. You can sort of see what I am after by
   looking at my second attempt on the site but of course I would need to align 
   them. AND I need to make the input boxes shorter so the submit button does not
   jump to under the form.
 * You will also see that I was not able to perfectly align the submit button no
   matter even with adjust it to center.

 * Hey there,
 * Did you manage to fix the issue?
    As I see on this page the form look great:

 * I was working on fixing it and set the width of the input boxes and fussed with
   it a lot to get the submit button centered there. I did not do it the prescribed
   way because it was just not reacting as it should. The odd thing which you should
   take note of is that when I am logged in to the admin area, the space between
   the headline and the contact form was much much bigger. When I logged out it 
   looks as you probably see it. Did I mention I was using Beaver Builder theme 
   and plugin? I still would like to take out more space so it aligns with the CLICK
   TO CALL. I now have the headline in a row above the contact form and phone number.
   
   The contact form and phone number are in the same row in two separate content
   boxes so theoretically they should line up as I have the same content box settings
   for both. Thanks again for getting back to me. I will certainly mention your 
   plugin at the next wordpress meet up I attend. Contact forms are a big subject.

 * Wait! I figured out a workaround to fix that extra space above the forms. Within
   the beaver builder page builder I adjusted the top margin of the content box 
   for the form to -20px and left the phone number at 0px. I did the same thing 
   with the other contact form lower on the page but did it at -7. Just kept changing
   the numbers until they looked right.

 * Hi all,
 * Useful plugin! although I cant quite get it to do what I require,.
 * The above example is what I`m trying to achieve (not succeeding) although learning
   alot.
    I simple horizontal bar with two input elements (name and phone and submit)
   is what I looking for. The above example looks good, I tried the CSS route but
   it did nothing although I suspect I was targeting the wrong class?
 * body .cf7-style.cf7-style-132 p {
    display: inline-block; }
 * I used <label> instead on <p>, not certain where the “.cf7-style.cf7-style-132”
   came from? 132 the contactform id maybe.

 * I am trying this again on another website and coming up with the same problem
   that jcbb had. I am trying to figure out where “style-132 p” came from as well.
   I used two different contact forms on [http://tecompanies.com/dev-cagd/](http://tecompanies.com/dev-cagd/)
   so it cannot be the individual contact form id because it worked on both of them.
   
   My new site has to go live in a few days so hopefully we will get an answer! 
   I think this may have something to do with mlehelsz’s comment in his instructions:“
   Warning: Please be careful, this will only work with current active custom style.”

 * Hi
    Cheers, I understand the process, I seem to be having difficulty in targeting
   the special class or at least identifying it. I have followed the screen shots
   and I dont see the class ident easily.
 * Below is the inspected html (f12 in chrome)?
 * <form action=”/test/?preview_id=595&preview_nonce=4a12517ec7&_thumbnail_id=-1&

 * Hey Jcbb,
 * Yes, correct.
    That is the actual contact form 7 form present on your page.
 * The only difference is that your form doesn’t have a custom style attached to
   it.
    The special id will be only present if you attach a custom style to the 
   form.
 * Regards,
    Lehel
