I had it hooked to admin_init, which was running entirely too soon. Changed it to hook into admin_menu and it now form editing is not broken!</p> <p>Here's the proper revised code that works, in case others see this and wonder what's needed:</p> <pre><code>// Hide Admin Areas that are not used add_action( &#39;admin_menu&#39;, &#39;my_remove_menu_pages&#39; ); function my_remove_menu_pages() { remove_menu_page(&#39;edit.php&#39;); remove_menu_page(&#39;edit-comments.php&#39;); }</code></pre> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/remove_menu_page-breaks-form-edit-interface#post-102204 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 12:13:06 +0000 Matt Banks 102204@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Also getting the following JS errors when remove_menu_page is on:</p> <p><code>Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token &lt;</code><br /> in admin.php:3232</p> <p><code>Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token &lt;</code><br /> in admin.php:1</p> <p><code>Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token &lt;</code><br /> in tw-sack.min.js:1</p> <p>Also, with the code inactive for remove_menu_page, I'm getting the first JS error whenever I edit a form anyway, so something is causing a JS error regardless. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/remove_menu_page-breaks-form-edit-interface#post-102190 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 11:41:45 +0000 Matt Banks 102190@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>David - sure I can send the theme.

I tried taking out all theme JS and CSS, but it was still preventing me from editing the form. The only thing that fixed it was taking away the call to remove_menu_page(). Here's the call I'm using in functions.php:</p> <pre><code>// Hide Admin Areas that are not used add_action( &#39;admin_init&#39;, &#39;my_remove_menu_pages&#39; ); function my_remove_menu_pages() { remove_menu_page(&#39;edit.php&#39;); remove_menu_page(&#39;edit-comments.php&#39;); }</code></pre> <p>This was the only thing in the theme that made it stop working, so I turned it off for now, but need to get it turned back on if possible. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/remove_menu_page-breaks-form-edit-interface#post-102145 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 10:36:04 +0000 David Peralty 102145@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Can you give us more details, or maybe provide us with the steps to recreate the issue? What version of WordPress are you using? Is it a completely custom theme? Does your theme add any JS to the WP Admin? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/remove_menu_page-breaks-form-edit-interface#post-102142 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 10:32:27 +0000 Matt Banks 102142@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I can duplicate this issue as I just ran into it myself with v1.6.10.1. Form editing works fine in Twenty Twelve and with/without all plugins active, so I switched back to my custom theme and started deleting functions until I found the culprit, and it looks like remove_menu_page() is the one that did it. I'm hiding Posts and Comments for this client since they aren't using them, but I think I'm going to have to leave them in now since it's not allowing form editing.</p> <p>Any idea what might be causing this?</p> <p>Thanks,<br /> Matt </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/remove_menu_page-breaks-form-edit-interface#post-77182 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 16:27:49 +0000 David Smith 77182@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi Stylmark,</p> <p>Using the latest version of Gravity Forms and WordPress running TwentyTen, I added this code to my functions.php file and was unable to recreate this issue.</p> <p><a href="http://pastie.org/4793301" rel="nofollow">http://pastie.org/4793301</a></p> <p>Can you do the theme and plugin test and confirm there is not issue there?</p> <p><a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Testing_for_a_Theme/Plugin_Conflict" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Testing_for_a_Theme/Plugin_Conflict</a> </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/remove_menu_page-breaks-form-edit-interface#post-76913 Sat, 22 Sep 2012 21:15:33 +0000 Stylmark 76913@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I've found that adding this to the admin_init hook will break the Gravity Forms edit form interface:</p> <pre><code>function my_func_clear_admin() { remove_menu_page(&#39;edit-comments.php&#39;); remove_menu_page(&#39;link-manager.php&#39;); }</code></pre> <p>regardless of the function name, having any kind of remove_menu_page function call will cause the edit form screen to throw a javascript error:</p> <p>Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier in tw-sack.js line 1</p> <p>Are there any solutions to this? </p>
