    Hello,

    I am trying to change the background colour of the contact form. Any CSS for that? I am using the Creative Portfolio theme.

    Thanks in advance.

    I am building a Contact Page today as well. I just chatted with support and they said to improve upon the basic form you have to get into the CSS. If you don’t know CSS, I recommend downloading a free browser app — StyleBot is the one I use. I have found it fairly simple to figure out. I input some basic formatting info and it installs the code for me. Background color, etc are among the options, which I’ve never used, but that is what I am playing with to see if I can make the basic form look better.

    You must restore the footer credit links. Removal of the top Admin bar and/or footer credit links is a Terms of Service violation that results in blog suspension and there is no upgrade that changes that.

    Terms of Service:

    11. Attribution. Automattic reserves the right to display attribution links such as ‘Blog at WordPress.com,’ theme author, and font attribution in your blog footer or toolbar. Footer credits and the WordPress.com toolbar may not be altered or removed regardless of upgrades purchased. http://en.wordpress.com/tos/

    May I remove the Admin Bar, credit links such as ‘Blog at WordPress.com’, theme, font, or toolbar links?

    All WordPress.com bloggers are required to maintain the Admin Bar (the dark bar that appears at the top of WordPress.com sites when logged in) as well as credit links, even our VIP bloggers. Please do not hide or alter text or links for the footer credits or the toolbar. Modifying the style of the footer text (i.e. colors and font size) is fine as long as it’s still readable. http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/#frequently-asked-questions

    Though removing footer credit links, which leads to the untrue assumption that you designed the theme, and that you are hosting your site yourself is not allowed under the Terms of Service, it’s possible to add your own text to the footer area using CSS, if you have purchased the Business bundle http://store.wordpress.com/plans/business/ or Premium bundle http://store.wordpress.com/plans/premium/ of upgrades as they contain the Custom Design upgrade. Then you can include styling credit if you have done any unique styling and/or you can include a copyright notice.

    Note that as you have the required upgrade you can use this link https://en.forums.wordpress.com/forum/css-customization#postform so you can create a thread that will appear in the CSS Forum where you will get the help you need with CSS editing.
