Bootstrap for CF7 – Alternative CSS Fix

Replies: 0

Hi Everyone,

If like me you have an older Bootstrap 3.x WordPress site and were still using the plugin ‘Bootstrap for Contact Form 7 v1.4.8’ (no longer apparently updated), this plugin now no longer works with the latest release of Contact Form 7 v5.2.

The last previous version it worked with was Contact Form 7 v5.1.9

Simply because I had to, I manually recreated the CSS needed and thought to share it for anyone else in my situation. Granted this CSS is highly customized to my site and implementation of Bootstrap but you can take the code as a basis and modify as you need.

Disabling the ‘Bootstrap for CF7’ plugin and adding the CSS code to your WordPress style.css should give you back your bootstrap styling applied to CF7 v5.2.

Hoping this helps someone.
