And the validation doesn't change the data, so it probably wasn't working before either. WordPress determines where to break things up if people do extended words like that, not Gravity Forms, but again, you could create a PHP script that added a space after 50 characters under certain circumstances, or make it have a line break, but that's beyond what I could do here for Gravity Forms support. scott@adszoom.com on "limiting the title of a post characters" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/limiting-the-title-of-a-post-characters#post-62702 Fri, 15 Jun 2012 13:32:21 +0000 scott@adszoom.com 62702@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ By The way Dave you the man!!!! ;) scott@adszoom.com on "limiting the title of a post characters" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/limiting-the-title-of-a-post-characters#post-62701 Fri, 15 Jun 2012 13:30:00 +0000 scott@adszoom.com 62701@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it works thank god! is it posible thou to make the title brake say after 50 characters ? ( using 100 characters total ) if someone dose this wrbgwrbtwrtbwrtbwrtbwrtbwrtbwrbtwrbtwrbtwrtbwrtb or word-word-word- ecs it extends threw the side of the theme but if there was a brake in there there would not be an issue.. it did brake before the validation i believe. ps what was the fix for the 1 st issue so i know?

The only code there is the gf preview and the snip from you above. I then tested the form and the form works with no preview and no title limits. I then activated the 2011 theme went to functions.php and pasted in your snip tested and had the same issue, i could not get the 2nd page to load at all using the code in 2011. I then un installed 2011 thinking somehow its corrupt ?? and reinstalled a fresh copy repeated the steps and had the same affect.
