With that plugin active, any gravity forms containing conditional logic disappear. I saw a recommendation in this thread that we add such findings to the "Known Conflicts" list... but I'm not sure where that is. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/forms-not-showing-on-site-using-shortcode#post-19539 Mon, 28 Feb 2011 12:46:44 +0000 Carl Hancock 19539@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>@n8woods It sounds like your CSS and Javascript aren't being output on the page. If you get a weird layout then the CSS probably isn't being output. If conditional logic isn't working then Javascript isn't being output. </p> <p>You need to make sure your theme has the wp_head() function call in place in the header.php and the wp_footer() function call in place in the footer.php file. Because from what you describe, the necessary CSS and Javascript doesn't exist on the page. These are added via enqueue which relies on these 2 functions to work.</p> <p>Also, conditional logic may not work if there are any Javascript errors on your page. So inspect the page with Firebug and make sure you don't have any Javascript errors.</p> <p>If you post a link to a page where we can see the issue happening we could tell right away what the issue is. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/forms-not-showing-on-site-using-shortcode#post-19524 Mon, 28 Feb 2011 01:51:27 +0000 n8woods 19524@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I need to add mine to the mix: I have 3 forms, one of which uses conditional logic that were on my dev. site, I have moved them to the "soon to be live" site, and I get weird layout, and the form with conditional logic does not appear at all. I tried to rebuild the simpler contact forms and still get the weird single line input form width ( 162px) even when I have selected, medium or large for the input widths.</p> <p>Any help would be greatly appreciated. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/forms-not-showing-on-site-using-shortcode#post-18479 Mon, 14 Feb 2011 13:28:04 +0000 Carl Hancock 18479@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Please do. I'm interested to see what the problem is. This is the only shortcode we have run into this problem with, and I find it a bit suspicious that the only shortcode that causes this problem happens to be developed by a big supporter of one of our competitors. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/forms-not-showing-on-site-using-shortcode#post-18399 Sat, 12 Feb 2011 17:55:29 +0000 elsubsta 18399@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi Carl</p> <p>Thanks for the advice; sorry but that shortening of the shortcode didn't help.</p> <p>I've also raised this with the Pretty Links site, but no response so far...</p> <p>I'm plowing on with just gravity forms at the moment, but if i do get any response i'll post it here.</p> <p>ttfn </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/forms-not-showing-on-site-using-shortcode#post-18370 Fri, 11 Feb 2011 22:27:36 +0000 Carl Hancock 18370@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>@elsubsta One thing to try with the Pretty Links is to change the shortcode. What is happening is Pretty Links is trying to replace the text. We have found some users can work around this by changing the shortcode slightly.</p> <p>When you insert the shortcode using the shortcode wizard it inserts a shortcode that looks like this into your post:</p> <p>[gravityform id=X title=My Form Name]</p> <p>Once it does this, try shortening the shortcode and remove the name= portion of it so it is just this:</p> <p>[gravityform id=X]</p> <p>I've seen this solve the Pretty Links plugin. I'm not 100% sure what the Pretty Links plugin is doing to cause this issue. It's changing the shortcode and rendering it unusable in the process. The issue is on the Pretty Links side, not the Gravity Forms side. So keep in mind when selecting Pretty Links over Gravity Forms you are selecting to retain a plugin that is causing WordPress not to function properly. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/forms-not-showing-on-site-using-shortcode#post-18366 Fri, 11 Feb 2011 21:05:15 +0000 elsubsta 18366@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi</p> <p>Been having the same 'form not showing problem' - turned out to be a conflict with the Pretty Links wp plug-in.</p> <p>I guess my only option is to choose which of the two programmes is more important to me? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/forms-not-showing-on-site-using-shortcode#post-17334 Mon, 31 Jan 2011 16:19:09 +0000 Chris Hajer 17334@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I'm not affiliated with Gravity Forms but maybe this advice will help you:</p> <p>Removing the conditional logic section is not the fix to the problem but the confirmation that it's due to missing JavaScript or a JavaScript conflict. In the previous cases, it was a JavaScript conflict due to the Google Analyticator plugin. Deactivating that plugin allowed the form to work properly.</p> <p>Forms with conditional logic will not show up due to one of few simple problems normally: 1) a plugin conflict. 2) using a function call or adding the form to a widget and not enqueuing the required JavaScript or 3) no call to wp_footer() in the theme you're using.</p> <p>For #3, make sure there is a call to wp_footer() in your footer.php or equivalent theme file.</p> <p>For #2, see the FAQ about enqueuing styles and scripts when inserting a form with other than the short code. <a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/frequently-asked-questions/#faq_styling" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/frequently-asked-questions/#faq_styling</a> (search that page for <em>enqueue</em>).</p> <p>For #1, the standard advice is to deactivate all plugins and see if the form shows. If it does, then activate plugins one by one until the form fails to appear. Once you've found the plugin that causes the failure, report back here to see if there is any fix for it, or report the conflict to the plugin author.</p> <p>If the form does not appear with all plugins except Gravity Forms deactivated, then try using the default Twenty Ten theme. If it works with the default theme, then you've found a problem with your theme.</p> <p>Please post your results. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/forms-not-showing-on-site-using-shortcode#post-17273 Sun, 30 Jan 2011 16:57:44 +0000 Daniel Beck 17273@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hello, I'm facing the same problem with my website, the gravity forms are not showing up and I'm also working with conditional logic and I've just tested removing the logic from one field and it worked, it shows the form. The problem is that I need the logic. Could you please help me to fix this issue?<br /> I've just sent the admin access to the email mentioned.<br /> Thanks<br /> Daniel Beck </p>
