In that case you have to use the enqueue function that you linked to which can handle enqueuing the necessary scripts and CSS from your themes functions.php file.</p> <p>It's not something we can "add". It's a limitation of WordPress and how and when you can enqueue scripts. You can only automatically do it from certain points the WordPress page execution cycle. This is primarily only from the post content in the main loop. Outside of that, it can't be done automatically without doing it inline. So the enqueue function is there so you can place it somewhere where the scripts can be enqueued. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/adding-a-gravity-form-in-a-custom-field#post-41130 Tue, 15 Nov 2011 12:44:07 +0000 Wheaton College 41130@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Since I posted my question, I found this:<br /> <a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gravity_form_enqueue_scripts" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gravity_form_enqueue_scripts</a></p> <p>I will look to do this. I am wondering, though, if you'd consider adding this feature automatically. That is, since the form displays fine, could the CSS and scripts be enqueued automatically when embedding a form this way? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/adding-a-gravity-form-in-a-custom-field#post-41129 Tue, 15 Nov 2011 12:41:15 +0000 Wheaton College 41129@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi, I'd like to use the shortcode to embed a Gravity Form in a custom field. </p> <p>The form displays fine on the published page, but the associated CSS and Javascript files are not pulled in. I could do this manually. But I am wondering what the right way to do this is.</p> <p>Thanks. </p>
