Required Field Asterisk

Post by dreamstrue » Tue Sep 10, 2024 5:01 pm

I am looking to enlarge the red Asterisk that indicates a required field on forms on my site. Anyone no the code to do that and where to put it?

Just looked at the star in the User: Edit form Name label. It is implemented like this:

Code: Select all

<span class="star" aria-hidden="true">&nbsp;*</span>
And it appears as a black star.

So you could use some CSS in a user.css file to change the appearance. You could make it red for example. As already said - you need to say in which form you see a red star.
