Trying to change your contact form button to match your website? Sadly, there isn’t an easy option to do this.

In this post, we’ll show you three ways to change contact form button color in WordPress. And, we’ll introduce you to one formidable way that makes things easier for you.

So, let’s dive in!

3 Ways to change contact form button color in WordPress

As we mentioned, some of these ways are easy, some are more difficult. Here are the three ways:

1. Use a form builder WordPress plugin
2. Code it yourself
3. Use a theme editor

Let’s look at each of these.

1. Use a form builder WordPress plugin

Form plugins are a popular option because they give you the most control over customizing your contact form.

There are a lot of form builders out there including WPForms, Gravity Forms, Ninja Forms, Contact Form 7 (CF7), and Everest Forms.

But there's one that's a cut above the rest: Formidable Forms.

We may be a little biased as it's our plugin 😊, but users agree!

From the layout of your form to the border color, Formidable gives you complete control over how your form looks. Plus, it comes with tons of powerful features so you can make any type of form you want. Contact forms, calculators, quizzes, payment forms; you name it!

2. Code it yourself

If the plugin route is too easy for you or you just like making things more complicated than they need to be, this option might be for you!

Welcome to the wonderful world of coding. If you have experience with HTML and CSS, you can edit the style directly. And it should be fairly simple. SHOULD BE...

But, you have to remember to maintain the HTML and CSS code. Theme updates could break your button styling. And who wants more work when they’re trying to do less?

If you’re experienced in writing custom CSS and HTML, then this is a great option for you. If not, look at one of the other options to save yourself time (and headaches).

3. Use a theme editor

Many WordPress themes come with a built-in editor. Inside the theme’s built-in menu, you can decorate your website as you see fit. Submit buttons, text, borders — it’s all here.

An example of a great theme is Elementor. Their interface makes it easy to customize your website’s style.

But, it does have its limitations.

For example, you can only customize certain parts of your website. And, you’re limited to what Elementor allows you to customize.

Knowing how to code can help. You’re up a creek without a paddle if you don't.

But, we have a paddle to get you out of trouble. Keep reading to find out more.
