I just changed my theme, and the code you gave me to fill in the 'confirm email' field no longer works. Any ideas? Is there another way to do this, perhaps in the functions.php file?</p> <p>PS: I've discovered that the new theme I'm using screws up the ampersand (&amp;) character, therefore the JS above won't work. Also, many of my list items have "&amp;" in them, so the conditional logic is also screwed up. Oh why can't life be easy :( </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/neither-date-nor-confirm-email-fields-are-pre-populating#post-51064 Thu, 01 Mar 2012 18:20:13 +0000 Jamie M 51064@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi Alex,</p> <p>I used it like this:<br /> <pre><code>add_filter(&quot;gform_field_value_name&quot;, &quot;populate_name&quot;); function populate_name() { return stripslashes($_COOKIE[&quot;gf_name&quot;]); }</code></pre> <p>... and it removed one slash.

If you haven't changed those values, the second (simpler) call should do the trick since it will just use default values for those variables. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/neither-date-nor-confirm-email-fields-are-pre-populating#post-50949 Wed, 29 Feb 2012 16:06:37 +0000 Jamie M 50949@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>....

To check though, I was before using:<br /> <code>setcookie(&quot;gf_&quot;.$field[&quot;inputName&quot;], $_POST[&quot;input_&quot; . $field[&quot;id&quot;]], time() + 31536000, COOKIEPATH, COOKIE_DOMAIN, false, true);</code><br /> However I am now using your code:<br /> <code>setcookie(&quot;gf_&quot;.$field[&quot;inputName&quot;], $val);</code></p> <p>What's the most fundamental difference here?

The easiest way to do that is to add an HTML block field to your form and paste the following code snippet in it. (Make sure to change the IDs to the appropriate values. See comments in the code snippet).<br /> <a href="http://pastie.org/3482898" rel="nofollow">http://pastie.org/3482898</a> </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/neither-date-nor-confirm-email-fields-are-pre-populating#post-50747 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 20:07:25 +0000 Carl Hancock 50747@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I have forwarded this forum post to Alex who will respond shortly. </p>
