It had to do with the fact that my hosting provider's default install of Wordpress comes with quite an obtrusive advertisement for the "Jetpack" plugin which I'd been ignoring but it appears that having it there visually offset the Gravity Forms accordion widget as you'd see it vertically overlapping with the standard grey bar of the Form Editor (aka, "form editor", "form settings", "notifications, ... ). I added the JetPack and the advert went away and Gravity Forms immediately started working. </p> <p>Not a very technical way of describing things I know but a happy ending none-the-less. Thanks for your attention Chris and if you have any clearer observations from a technical standpoint I'd be all ears to hear them but otherwise consider my problem solved. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/field-editing-in-15-doesnt-work#post-39233 Fri, 28 Oct 2011 12:22:29 +0000 Chris Hajer 39233@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>This is not how the form builder normally works. Most of the team at Gravity Forms uses Mac, so that is not the problem.</p> <p>Can you try creating a new form, and click to add a new field and explain what happens? </p> <p>Anything else interesting or different about your set up? Any admin plugins for WordPress? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/field-editing-in-15-doesnt-work#post-39203 Fri, 28 Oct 2011 05:44:14 +0000 ksnyde 39203@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Just a side note, I tried this using Firefox too just to see if it was a problem with Safari. Same result. Both browsers are on the Mac side of the fence (for what that's worth). </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/field-editing-in-15-doesnt-work#post-39201 Fri, 28 Oct 2011 05:35:24 +0000 ksnyde 39201@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi Chris, </p> <p>Yeah I wasn't sure if clicking or dragging was required so I've tried both to the same effect (aka, 95% of the time nothing happens, 5% it does and all fields that are on form behave correctly).</p> <p>Ken </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/field-editing-in-15-doesnt-work#post-39187 Fri, 28 Oct 2011 00:19:18 +0000 Chris Hajer 39187@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>@ksnyde, you don't drag fields in the form builder. You add them by clicking. Is that what you're doing?</p> <p>The form field is supposed to be added to the bottom of the form when you add it. After you add it, you can drag it to whatever position you want in the form.</p> <p>It sounds like it's working properly. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/field-editing-in-15-doesnt-work#post-39095 Thu, 27 Oct 2011 10:59:45 +0000 ksnyde 39095@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I think I'm having a similar problem Carl but it's possible it's a different variant. I'm certainly on a newer release as time has moved on. Anyway, the problem manifests itself when I open a new form or edit an existing form for editing. I see the accordion of different fields to choose from and if I mouse over the text it turns red and highlights clearly recognising the mouse event. I then try and drag the object onto the form and in 95% of cases it just ignores the action and nothing happens. Occasionally, and I notice no pattern to this, it drops the field to the bottom of the form. At the point that it successfully makes it onto the form I am able to edit with no problems (aka, move position and modify the attributes of the field). </p> <p>I'm using version 1.5.3 of gravity forms and Wordpress 3.2.1. My website is <a href="http://lifegadget.co" rel="nofollow">http://lifegadget.co</a> (please ignore it's very rough look and feel as I'm just getting started). </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/field-editing-in-15-doesnt-work#post-23676 Tue, 19 Apr 2011 11:51:17 +0000 Joe 23676@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Carl,<br /> Thanks so much for the quick reply. I emailed you a copy of the theme.

If you email me a copy of that theme to <a href="mailto:carl@rocketgenius.com">carl@rocketgenius.com</a> I can take a look at it and see what needs to be changed. </p>
