All went well except for trying to edit existing fields within gravity forms. I can add new fields alright, but I can't edit them. I've tried uninstalling the plugin cleanly and reinstalling, no dice. Also checked to make sure all the paths were correct.</p> <p><strong>I get this error in the javascript console:</strong><br /> Uncaught Error: no such method 'select' for tabs widget instance</p> <p><strong>Here's the error stack:</strong><br /> Uncaught Error: no such method 'select' for tabs widget instance jquery.js:507<br /> jQuery.extend.error jquery.js:507<br /> (anonymous function) jquery.ui.widget.min.js:5<br /> jQuery.extend.each jquery.js:648<br /> jQuery.fn.jQuery.each jquery.js:270<br /> e.fn.(anonymous function) jquery.ui.widget.min.js:5<br /> LoadFieldSettings form_editor.js:576<br /> FieldClick form_editor.js:1718<br /> (anonymous function) form_editor.js:182<br /> jQuery.event.dispatch jquery.js:3074<br /> elemData.handle jquery.js:2750</p> <p><strong>The call looks like it's made in form_editor.js on line 576 for the "select" method:</strong><br /> jQuery("#field_settings").tabs("select", 0);</p> <p>Any help or ideas as to how I can clear this up? </p>
