That's what I've been doing and I'm glad to know you came up with the same solution. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/form-worked-for-a-while-and-then-disappeared#post-6401 Wed, 16 Jun 2010 16:32:11 +0000 Carl Hancock 6401@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>YES. The same issue would happen with the RAW shortcode above. The problem is while that function call doesn't process the shortcode using the wpautop function call if the shortcode matches RAW (or in this themes case NOFORMAT), it then applies it to all other shortcodes. It shouldn't be applying it to ANY shortcodes. But thats what happens.</p> <p>*BUT* I came up with a work around that requires NO code changes on either end. It's actually quite funny. The function call causing the problem doesn't apply the autoformatting if the shortcode you use matches what is specific in the function call. So what I did is wrap the Gravity Forms shortcode within that shortcode and it works!</p> <p>So instead of:</p> <p>[gravityform id=1 name=My Form Title]</p> <p>Do:</p> <p>[noformat][gravityform id=39 name=ContactMe][/noformat]</p> <p>It worked testing locally and the conditional logic form output and submitted fine.</p> <p>If your function call uses [raw] instead of [noformat] you would just switch it out. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/form-worked-for-a-while-and-then-disappeared#post-6399 Wed, 16 Jun 2010 16:20:00 +0000 Chris Hajer 6399@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi Carl/Kevin, this is interesting. Would this snippet of code cause the same problem?</p> <p><a href="http://www.catswhocode.com/blog/top-10-wordpress-hacks-from-june-09" rel="nofollow">http://www.catswhocode.com/blog/top-10-wordpress-hacks-from-june-09</a></p> <pre><code>function my_formatter($content) { $new_content = &#39;&#39;; $pattern_full = &#39;{(\[raw\].*?\[/raw\])}is&#39;; $pattern_contents = &#39;{\[raw\](.*?)\[/raw\]}is&#39;; $pieces = preg_split($pattern_full, $content, -1, PREG_SPLIT_DELIM_CAPTURE); foreach ($pieces as $piece) { if (preg_match($pattern_contents, $piece, $matches)) { $new_content .= $matches[1]; } else { $new_content .= wptexturize(wpautop($piece)); } } return $new_content; } remove_filter(&#39;the_content&#39;, &#39;wpautop&#39;); remove_filter(&#39;the_content&#39;, &#39;wptexturize&#39;); add_filter(&#39;the_content&#39;, &#39;my_formatter&#39;, 99);</code></pre> <p>It's not part of my theme (saw <a href="http://twitter.com/carlhancock/status/16311817769" rel="nofollow">your tweet</a> :-) ), but I do use that in functions.php to disable autop formatting by wrapping my content in a shortcode. I've had problems with nextgen gallery shortcode outputting invalid XHTML unless I wrap in [raw] shortcode, and the same with Gravity Forms. I recall asking about it once before:</p> <p><a href="http://forum.gravityhelp.com/topic/page-will-not-validate-with-form-in-it-unless-i-remove-filters" rel="nofollow">http://forum.gravityhelp.com/topic/page-will-not-validate-with-form-in-it-unless-i-remove-filters</a></p> <p>I would be very happy to know that the problem is coming from the use of this shortcode (or rather, the fact that the shortcode is in my functions.php and the invalid code comes from <strong>NOT</strong> using the [raw] shortcode around the gravity forms or nextgen gallery shortcodes.)</p> <p>So, Kevin, if the invalid XHTML is because caused by this raw shortcode being added to functions.php, how can I do something similar but not mess up the order in which the filters are processed? I know it's not Gravity Forms, but I am hoping to resolve this long-simmering issue.</p> <p>Thank you guys very much.

So while the above shortcode WILL allow you to place unformatted code in your post body, it's side effect is it then applies the wpautop to all other shortcodes because it changes the order in which filters are executed.</p> <p>Removing the above code will allow the Next Element theme and Gravity Forms to play nicely together. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/form-worked-for-a-while-and-then-disappeared#post-6390 Wed, 16 Jun 2010 10:50:54 +0000 Kevin Flahaut 6390@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>The issue is definitely theme related (if you'll notice, the form preview in the admin works properly)</p> <p>So, that being said, we're pretty sure this is related to a shortcode in your theme. They tout 54 shortcodes for this theme, so it's hard to say what it might be without seeing the theme files.</p> <p>Could you email me a copy of the theme zip file? If so, we could test it here and hopefully help you get it fixed.

It is a theme conflict. Something in the Panda Themes Next Element theme is causing problems with shortcode output which is causing a conflict with the conditional logic javascript that Gravity Forms uses.</p> <p>This is an issue we have only encountered with the Panda Themes Next Element theme. We are looking into it to see why it is happening but it is most likely due to poor coding within the theme. We will get back to you with some sort of fix, but it will probably require changing something within your theme.</p> <p>Just FYI, you were waiting 4 hours for a response because you purchased our product in the middle of the night.
