The issue was on the Genesis side, and we implemented a work around for that. We can do our best to limit issues like this, but as I mentioned we can't guarantee it's going to work 100% with all themes or plugins because of the fact we have no control over what other themes and plugins do and because of the nature of PHP it's not 100% preventable. But we do our best to resolve them as issues come up. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/gravity-plugin-causes-numerous-w3c-html-validation-errors#post-22836 Fri, 08 Apr 2011 16:26:12 +0000 silverlight001 22836@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>OK Carl I'll try and add the enqueue</p> <p>but when you guys logged onto my site to add the enqueue function last time it caused the white screen of death when I upgraded to Gravity v1.5 and took a lot of hassle to eventually work out that it was that manual fix that caused the issue e.g. you first said it was memory issues etc...</p> <p><a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/gravity-15-white-screen-of-death" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/gravity-15-white-screen-of-death</a></p> <p>My point is that the manual fix to enqueue needs to be sustainable with the release of new versions etc.. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/gravity-plugin-causes-numerous-w3c-html-validation-errors#post-22719 Thu, 07 Apr 2011 15:47:04 +0000 Carl Hancock 22719@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>@silverlight001 Kevin already explained that to fix this issue you need to enqueue the scripts by adding the enqueue function to your functions.php. We made changes to the enqueue function in the new release so it should work.</p> <p>The "fix" had nothing to do with making the Widget so it doesn't output script/css. The only way to avoid that is to use the enqueue function in your functions.php file.</p> <p>There is NO way to fix the Widget so that it automatically enqueues the script in the head/foot because Widgets execute too late in the WordPress execution life cycle to be able to do so. So if it isn't manually enqueued using the function call the Widget has no other choice but to output the script and CSS calls in line. This has explained a couple different times already in this thread.</p> <p>The issue you ran into was unavoidable as far as a sustainable fix goes. There are hundreds of themes out there, we can't take all of them into account and a lot of them work differently. So in situations like that if there is something on our end we can change to make it work better, we do. Your issue was a theme specific issue with how Genesis executes, so it was unavoidable. </p> <p>We do our best to make sure Gravity Forms works as intended out of the box, but with literally thousands of themes and thousands of plugins, issues like the one you encountered with the enqueue function is unavoidable. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/gravity-plugin-causes-numerous-w3c-html-validation-errors#post-22718 Thu, 07 Apr 2011 15:11:36 +0000 silverlight001 22718@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi Kevin,</p> <p>It was mentioned that these problem were fixed in the latest release but it appears not?</p> <p>Also, the last time you guys added an enqueue function to my site it broke it during the upgrade and I spent several hours resolving the white screen of death issue</p> <p><a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/gravity-15-white-screen-of-death" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/gravity-15-white-screen-of-death</a></p> <p>I think the problem needs a proper, sustainable fix please?</p> <p>Thanks </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/gravity-plugin-causes-numerous-w3c-html-validation-errors#post-22501 Tue, 05 Apr 2011 08:29:11 +0000 Kevin Flahaut 22501@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I'm assuming you're using the form widget and if so, it's not going to validate because of the stylesheet link outside of the head element.</p> <p>If you're concerned about validation, you can go to the widget admin, select the form widget and check the "disable script output" option. This will remove the script/css reference. </p> <p><a href="http://grab.by/9OpC" rel="nofollow">http://grab.by/9OpC</a></p> <p>You will then need to manually enqueue the scripts/css on your page so everything functions and displays properly.</p> <p><a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Embedding_A_Form" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Embedding_A_Form</a> </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/gravity-plugin-causes-numerous-w3c-html-validation-errors#post-22498 Tue, 05 Apr 2011 07:49:06 +0000 silverlight001 22498@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>Still getting an HTML validation error even with the latest version of gravity forms</p> <p>Line 215, Column 299: document type does not allow element "link" here<br /> …nt/plugins/gravityforms/css/forms.css?ver=3.0.4' type='text/css' media='all' /&gt;<br /> site=http://www.titaniumconsulting.co.uk/ </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/gravity-plugin-causes-numerous-w3c-html-validation-errors#post-19944 Fri, 04 Mar 2011 16:22:14 +0000 silverlight001 19944@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi Carl, details sent to you, thanks </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/gravity-plugin-causes-numerous-w3c-html-validation-errors#post-19925 Fri, 04 Mar 2011 14:43:38 +0000 Carl Hancock 19925@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>@silverlight001 Can you provide us a WordPress admin login and FTP information for this site? What we can do is look at your theme, functions.php file and see what is going on. That will allow us to resolve this quicker than going back and forth on the forum.
