For example, When I inspect the html generated by User Meta, one of the input controls has the following code:

input type='text' name="first_name" value='Kim' id='um_field_8' class='um_input validate[required]'

How do I modify the css associated with this input box? I want to control the css for form controls depending on the data. For example, a phone number only needs to be 50 px wide, but I want textareas to be 400px wide.

I tried adding

.um_field_container custom-profile-input {
font-size:140%;
}

to my style.css but nothing happened.

Thanks,

Can you also document how to change the look and feel of the form controls as well please.
If I add a textbox field with the class “input-box”, how do I reference the class and where is it stored so I can add my own CSS?

Thanks very much.

I found this post and it contains info on how to customize the CSS of the fields.

Can you provide a little detail in your answer? I added class names to all my fields, but am unclear if User Meta creates these styles somewhere and I fill them in, or if I have to add the styles manually to style.css…thanks

When I create a “Field” I assign it the class “class1”
Where do I edit the class definition to change the look and feel of the form?
I tried adding .class1{} to style.css but that didn’t have any effect…

How do I add my own styles to the Fields?

Thanks!

Ok, got it working. Not exactly sure what I did to be honest but it required stripping some odd characters, importing to mySQL and then generating the .csv file phpMyAdmin… Neither Excel, Numbers nor Google could generate a .csv file that this plugin could parse…VERY ANNOYING.

Or more simply, how do I put div’s and such around the form controls? Where is the html stored that is used to generate the default profile page?

Cheers,

Hi thanks for your response.
Can you provide some examples of how I can use php to create my own profile pages? I need to create nice looking profile pages, and the profile page generated by User Meta is not very well formatted.
I need to also create a Public “User List” with clickable links to specific profile pages.
I can’t find any references for how I can write my own php and css to accomplish that.

Thanks very much!

Hi there,
I’m new to User Meta, but this functionality sounds important to my current problem. Can you walk me through the logic a bit?

I have an excel file of Users that I want to import and my desired outcome is that I import all the users with meta variables, and then activate those users as a ‘batch’ so that all 300 are emailed their account info including their uniquely generated passwords.

How do I set this up in User Meta?

Thank you so much!
