Why doesn't my form look pretty?

Last Updated: April 28, 2020

Knowledge Base → Installation & Getting Started → Frequently Asked Questions → Why doesn't my form look pretty?
  1. Make sure you have Formidable styling enabled in both the Formidable -> Settings and the individual form settings.
  2. Compare the form preview page with the form in your theme. Any differences are caused by your theme.
  3. Several themes are adding extra space between field labels, the required symbol, and fields. WordPress adds HTML (<p> and <br/>) automatically, and some themes send it through this WP filter multiple times which adds paragraphs and line breaks inside the form. In many of these themes, you can fix this by replacing [formidable id=x] with
    [formidable id=x minimize=1]. This will minimize the form HTML so there is nowhere for your theme/other plugins to add the extra <p> and <br/> tags.
