  Sorry if this seems basic, but I cannot figure out what is going on here.

  The alert and notification messages do not appear on form errors or submission. The <div> displays and the border box is there. The text is there, but simply will not display.

  I thought colors at first, but that is not it. Something is preventing the text from showing on the page.

  Fill out the form without a required field and you’ll see what I mean.

  Thanks!

  Hi

  Can you check with the default theme installed to see if it’s the same?

  Hey Kyle, sorry for the delay.

  Using twentyfifteen, the Contact Form 7 on the same page works exactly as expected.
  Back to Cardinal and/or Child theme of Cardinal and the notifications no longer show.

  Hi,

  Please simply add this:

  div.wpcf7-validation-errors { font-size: 14px; }

  Thanks,
  David.

  Thanks David! Sorry, I’m not sure how I missed that.

  I’ll tell you I searched for that for an hour and couldn’t see why it wasn’t appearing.

  Out of curiosity, can you tell me how you discovered that so quickly? Is there a place (that you know of) that Cardinal was overwriting (not setting) the font-size property?

  Glad it’s sorted. I just forwarded to David so he can explain it to you.

  Hey,

  I just used Chrome inspector, I knew the actual text was output correct as I could see it in the source so it was just a case of finding what was causing the text to be hidden.

  It took a bit of searching through the CSS, eventually I found the font size was being set to 0, which meant it did not display.

  Cheers,
  David.
