I've tried this with and without the default CSS output (via the Form Settings).<br /> C) I found a section in the default CSS where it references the "textarea character counter" so I copied that over to my own CSS file, but it seems that hasn't changed anything (the counter doesn't appear either way).<br /> D) It appears that </p> <p><code>&lt;script type=&#39;text/javascript&#39; src=&#39;http://jordancarney.com/wp/wp-content/plugins/gravityforms/js/jquery.textareaCounter.plugin.js?ver=1.5.2.8&#39;&gt;&lt;/script&gt;</code> </p> <p>isn't being loaded when posting the form on a page.
