# How to Customize Everest Forms in Elementor (NO CSS)

## 

- The Everest Form widget in The Plus Addons for Elementor moves form styling into the Elementor panel, where labels, fields, choice buttons and the submit button are restyled from the Style tab without CSS.
- The widget ships in the free The Plus Addons for Elementor plugin, and it needs Everest Forms installed and activated with at least one form already created.
- Style > Input Fields Styling and Style > Textarea Fields Styling are separate sections, and Input Fields Styling covers text, email, number, phone, URL and select while Textarea Fields Styling covers multi-line boxes.
- The widget redraws checkboxes and radio buttons so they look identical across browsers, writes CSS for its own instance only, and keeps fields, validation, emails and entry settings inside Everest Forms.

**Everest Forms** is an easy drag-and-drop form builder, but the look of the finished form is mostly down to your theme.

The **Everest Form** widget in The Plus Addons for Elementor puts that styling in the Elementor panel. Choose a form you have already built and restyle its labels, fields, choice buttons and submit button from the Style tab — without CSS.

***Requirement - This widget is a part of The Plus Addons for Elementor, make sure it's installed & activated to enjoy all its powers.***

## Before You Start

- **Edition:** **Free** — the Everest Form widget ships in the free The Plus Addons for Elementor plugin, and every styling control described here is available without Pro.- **Widget to enable:** **Everest Form**, switched on under **The Plus Addons > Widgets**. It only appears there while the **Everest Forms** plugin is active.- **You need the form plugin:** **Everest Forms** installed and activated, with at least one form already created. The widget styles a form that plugin renders; it does not build one.- **Elementor:** the free Elementor plugin is enough. None of these controls needs Elementor Pro.- **You need a form:** build one in **Everest Forms > Add New** first. The **Select Form** dropdown only lists forms that already exist.

## Turn the Widget On

- Go to **The Plus Addons > Widgets** in the WordPress dashboard.- Search for **Everest Form**.- Switch its toggle on.

## Add the Widget and Pick a Form

- Edit a page with Elementor.- Drag the **Everest Form** widget on to the canvas.- In **Content > Select Form**, choose your form.

## Style the Labels

**Style > Label** controls the text above each field: typography, **Label** colour, and the spacing between the label and its field.

## Style the Input Fields and Text Areas

**Style > Input Fields Styling** covers the single-line fields — text, email, number, phone, URL and select. **Style > Textarea Fields Styling** covers the multi-line boxes. Both carry the same controls:

- **Padding** and **Margin**, per device.- **Typography**, **Text Color** and **Placeholder Color**.- **Background Type** — colour, gradient or image.- **Border Options**: switch **Box Border** on before **Border Style**, **Border Width** and **Border Color** do anything. **Border Radius** works either way.- A **Normal** / **Focus** tab, for the state while the visitor is typing.

> *Styling the input fields does not style the text area. They are two separate sections.*

## Style Checkboxes and Radio Buttons

The widget hides the browser's own checkbox and radio control and draws its own, so the choice fields look identical across browsers. **Style > CheckBox/Radio Field** has a **Check Box** tab and a **Radio Button** tab, each with typography, **Checked Color**, **Checked Bg Color**, **UnChecked Color**, **UnChecked Bg Color** and border options.

## Style the Submit Button

**Style > Submit/Send Button** gives you width, padding, margin, typography, text colour, background, border options and border radius, with separate **Normal** and **Hover** tabs.

## The Result

## The Other Sections

| Section | What it styles | Default |
| ------- | -------------- | ------- |
| **Outer Field** | The row that wraps each field — padding, margin, background and border. | unset |
| **Form Container** | The box around the whole form — padding, background, border, radius and shadow. | unset |
| **Response Message** | The success, error and validation messages Everest Forms prints. | unset |
| **On Scroll View Animation** | An entrance animation for the whole form as it scrolls into view. | off |

## How It Behaves

- The widget writes CSS for its own instance only. The same form embedded twice can be styled two different ways.- Fields, validation, emails and entry settings stay in **Everest Forms**. The widget never edits the form.- Padding, margin, typography and border widths can all be set per device.- Choice fields are redrawn by the widget, so they look the same in every browser.

## Limitations

- There is no **File/Upload Field** section in this widget, so an Everest Forms file upload field keeps the browser's own control.- The tick inside a checked box is a Font Awesome glyph and The Plus Addons does not load Font Awesome itself. On a page with no other icon it can render as an empty square; adding any Elementor icon widget to the page loads the font.- **Border Style**, **Border Width** and **Border Color** do nothing until **Box Border** is on.- Markup added by Everest Forms add-ons is outside what these sections target.

## Troubleshooting

### The widget is not in the Elementor panel

Check that Everest Forms is active, then that the **Everest Form** toggle is on under **The Plus Addons > Widgets**.

### Select Form is empty

Build a form in **Everest Forms > Add New** and reload the Elementor editor.

### My border colour does nothing

Switch **Box Border** on in that section first. Border Style, Border Width and Border Color are all conditional on it.

### The text area still looks unstyled

Use **Textarea Fields Styling**. **Input Fields Styling** does not reach it.
