Adding this to functions.php will help prevent the error:</p> <pre><code>[php] if(function_exists(&#39;add_theme_support&#39;)) add_theme_support( &#39;post-formats&#39; );</code></pre> <p>I have passed the information on so that this can be handled in the next release of 1.6. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/gf-v16-error-when-saving-form#post-33627 Fri, 26 Aug 2011 07:02:04 +0000 Luke 33627@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hmm Ive put the old version back on and it works fine (not a corrupted form). I am using a number of the add-ons that gravity forms supports. None of these would affect a smooth installation? The only other thing that I can think of is the plugin that I use called "Gravity Forms Custom Post Types", but I need this to transfer the data into the correct post type in my backend. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/gf-v16-error-when-saving-form#post-33506 Wed, 24 Aug 2011 21:02:17 +0000 Carl Hancock 33506@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>This message is a safeguard to prevent you from saving a possible corrupt form and wiping out data. So something you configured didn't work properly. If you encounter the issue again, let us know and we can investigate further. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/gf-v16-error-when-saving-form#post-33505 Wed, 24 Aug 2011 19:48:58 +0000 Chris Hajer 33505@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>You can just remove the gravityforms folder, then upload the new gravityforms folder. After I deleted the original gravityforms folder (1.5.2.8) I visited the plugins page of wp-admin, which gave me a message that Gravity Forms was deactivated because it could not be found. Then I uploaded the new folder, visited the plugins, and activated.</p> <p>You should not have to do more than that. You might want to try a different browser or completely clear the browser cache to ensure you don't have any cached JavaScript.</p> <p>You should not have to use the meta recovery tool to just install a new version of the plugin. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/gf-v16-error-when-saving-form#post-33503 Wed, 24 Aug 2011 18:36:05 +0000 Luke 33503@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi,<br /> I have just tried adding a list custom field and saving the form but it came up with an error saying something like "There was an error when saving your form, please contact the support team ". The same happened for when i selected the option for my first image upload to be set as the featured image. I used your meta recovery tool but this did not fix the problem. Perhaps I have installed the beta version incorrectly? Do I need to uninstall all of the addons, and can I just whip the old GF folder off of my server via ftp and dump the new folder in, or do you suggest a different installation method? </p>
