Most forms (&gt;95% of them) don't require AJAX.</p> <p>Does your form work without AJAX enabled, or did any of the other troubleshooting steps help? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/just-a-spinning-wheel#post-92349 Sat, 17 Nov 2012 10:34:22 +0000 askmepc 92349@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Thank you . Does it make a difference if you use the ajax feature? I am not even sure what that is exactly. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/just-a-spinning-wheel#post-92189 Sat, 17 Nov 2012 01:29:37 +0000 Chris Hajer 92189@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>There are a few things you can try.

The problem persists until BP is deactivated.</p> <p>The site is a community site though, so I'm not able to do it that well without BuddyPress. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/just-a-spinning-wheel#post-90019 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 03:01:18 +0000 Chris Hajer 90019@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Have you already tested for theme and plugin conflicts by following these instructions <a href="http://rkt.gs/testing" rel="nofollow">http://rkt.gs/testing</a></p> <p>I see some extra &lt; p &gt; and &lt; br /&gt; tags being added to the Gravity Forms output. This is not being done by Gravity Forms but by something on your site. Typically, themes with the [raw] shortcode do this to the gravityforms shortcode output and it breaks the jQuery functionality. You can read more about this problem here: <a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/tags/raw" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/tags/raw</a></p> <p>The quick fix is to wrap the gravityforms shortcode in the [raw] shortcode. However, that's just a work around.</p> <p>Take a look at this writer's explanation of the problem:<br /> <a href="http://theandystratton.com/2011/shortcode-autoformatting-html-with-paragraphs-and-line-breaks" rel="nofollow">http://theandystratton.com/2011/shortcode-autoformatting-html-with-paragraphs-and-line-breaks</a> </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/just-a-spinning-wheel#post-89672 Sat, 10 Nov 2012 17:03:59 +0000 Joe 89672@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I have created a form for users to register on my site. This is a Buddypress site.</p> <p>If I have Ajax activated, it just spins and spins, but if I do not have Ajax activated, it seems to submit but will just show the page with the heading and no form, but also no confirmation on either option.</p> <p>The user is registered and the account created, the email is also sent out, but it doesn't tell the user that it has gone through in either case.</p> <p>This is the page where the form is:<br /> <a href="http://farehamradio.com/join-in" rel="nofollow">http://farehamradio.com/join-in</a></p> <p>Thanks. </p>
