Does anyone know how I can center a field? Or entire form ?   

 

"center form on page" in the settings doesnt do it. I have fields still aligned to left.

Only the submit buttons seems to center

 

Thank you

If the field won't center with the form settings, then you likely have a theme conflict. Can you share a public URL for us to troubleshoot?

The form is theoretically centered. You have some grid styling you probably need to refactor as the way it is. Remove all the styles of your fields and re-build them using the drag and drop visual editor.

If you expect the form width to be smaller, go to styles and create a custom style with a custom width and then apply that back over in the form specific styling settings under "Style Template".

Thanks for the reply,

So then i'm guessing I cant have 2x 1/4 fields centred?
As If I set the width to be smaller this will affect the entire form and not just individual fields right?
As it stands I need the fields on pages 2 & 3 of the form to be 100%

Thanks again anyway I will just have to go with 100% for all fields.

It's going to do 1/4 width of whatever the total width is (by default is 100%). 2 quarters leave a half to remain in the same row. If you did two 1/2 width and then changed the form width, it might visually make it "look" right but the math doesn't add up if you leave 1/2 after using two 1/4 widths in a row. All of those grid styles have to add up to 1 whole.

The template width is the outermost container of all fields, yes.

You can play with the field size setting within the field and get different kinds of results as well.
