It has happened before, and I am trying to find the explanation of what fixed it last time. Please begin troubleshooting by testing for theme and plugin conflicts by following these instructions <a href="http://rkt.gs/testing" rel="nofollow">http://rkt.gs/testing</a></p> <p>Also, please post a link to your site where the form is embedded and we will take a look at it. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/required-field-message-is-displayed-on-the-form-multiple-times#post-74240 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 15:01:03 +0000 mruud 74240@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hello,</p> <p>I have a form that displays a message when one of the fields is marked as a required field. The problem is that the message is being displayed multiple times, sometimes up to three or four times on each form. I am not sure where I can go to switch this off. </p> <p>Any ideas? Thanks, </p>
