This has stopped, although i have not turned off plugins.<br /> However: closing and going to top of form continues.: "Update Form" closes accordians, goes to top of form, have to scroll down each time form is Updated. Awkward, awkward.<br /> Also—there is text in fields, "Enter your zip code here" that i can't remove and it's incorrect.<br /> the address fields where i've removed the second address line, shows "enter your city" where state should be. All quickfill has moved to the left, i can't remove this text.<br /> and text fields have wrong message in them. how to remove this default. it's not in default value field. a text field has "Enter your state here" for no reason. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/editing-fields-and-forms-almost-impossible#post-281352 Mon, 27 May 2013 17:45:38 +0000 Richard Vav 281352@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Have you tried <a href="http://rkt.gs/testing" rel="nofollow">testing for a plugin/theme conflict</a>, the form name on the create form dialogue being off screen has been reported before by other users and has always been caused by a conflict. You can try enabling 'No-Conflict Mode' on the Gravity Forms generals settings page and that will try and prevent your theme and plugins from including scripts and syles on the Gravity Forms admin pages.</p> <p>As for you issues editing and saving forms, these problems could also be the result of a plugin/theme conflict but they could also be due to a lack of available php memory, try following the advice in the following article to increase that <a href="http://www.nerdgrind.com/increase-wordpress-and-php-memory-limit/" rel="nofollow">http://www.nerdgrind.com/increase-wordpress-and-php-memory-limit/</a></p> <p>Also you should update to the latest version of the plugin as 1.7.5 fixes a number of bugs including an "issue with new form not displaying fields after first time it was saved" </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/editing-fields-and-forms-almost-impossible#post-281306 Mon, 27 May 2013 16:49:22 +0000 ferdiax 281306@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>The problems started with 1.7.1 so i decided to upgrade to 1.7.3 but its got worse. Using WP 3.5.1. </p> <p>What happens when making a new form.<br /> 1. The input for the form Name field is off screen but the description is visible.<br /> 2. Say i add a couple of new fields and then save the form all the fields have vanished and you see the form start screen again. If i hit the save form field again the fields are back. However when i go to the settings tab and back again all fields have disappeared again.<br /> <a href="http://cl.ly/image/2F2B3w3v1b0F" rel="nofollow">http://cl.ly/image/2F2B3w3v1b0F</a></p> <p>Editing an existing form<br /> 1. If i change something in an existing field i have to do it twice before it takes effect.<br /> Sometimes when i think the field is edited and saved that doesn't seem to be the case. When i go to the front end the field is not visible and returning to the form editor to see that the field has vanished.</p> <p>It's like a game of hide and seek.<br /> Is their anyone having the same issues?<br /> Because this is on an operational site i'm afraid the upgrade version 1.7.5 not knowing whats the cause of these problems.</p> <p>I've also tried this on a local install on WP 3.5.1 with only the gravity forms plugin with the 2011 theme and still the same issues.</p> <p>Thanks </p>
