    Hey i use this plugin on my site but i have a few problems with it. Id didnt have the same style as the other fields so i took your style code out and fixed the tab index thing, but even though the code looks exactly the same as the other fields on the page, it doesnt render it right.

    • @Devendra,

      As I already said, the plugin has reached the end of its life. This means that I am no longer developing this program or offering support.

      If you would like to hire me to help you with this problem, my rates are very reasonable.

  6. I edited the code for the plugin to get the input fields to look exactly like the ones that WP provides — the ones this plugin generates don’t match. Within the tag input type="text" use this inline CSS:

    style="font-size: 20px; width: 97%; height: 29px; padding: 3px; margin-right: 6px; margin-bottom:15px; background-color: #fbfbfb; border: solid 1px #dfdfdf;"

    Trying to edit the plugin to add “Unit Type” and “District” as fields.
    Unit Type needs a drop down: Pack, Troop, Crew, At-Large
    District needs a drop down: District A, B, C, etc, and Other Council
    Is that possible? Can you help?
