If it was blank for that long, it sounds like your page was just taking a long time to load which is indicative of a hosting issue or something else in your theme that's causing it to load that slowly. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/sidebar-disappears-on-form-submit#post-10278 Fri, 24 Sep 2010 00:39:20 +0000 manon1165 10278@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I tried the function but there was a blank white page for about 10 seconds or so. Any way to fix this? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/sidebar-disappears-on-form-submit#post-9047 Thu, 26 Aug 2010 16:13:37 +0000 littler.chicken 9047@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Thanks, David, I will have to try that. The lag was kind of bothering me but I thought there was nothing to do about it.

Place it in your functions.php:</p> <pre><code>add_filter(&quot;gform_post_submission&quot;, &quot;hide_form&quot;, 10, 2); function hide_form($entry, $form) { if($form[&quot;confirmation&quot;][&quot;type&quot;] != &quot;message&quot;) echo &quot;&lt;style type=\&quot;text/css\&quot;&gt; body { display: none; } &lt;/style&gt;&quot;; }</code></pre> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/sidebar-disappears-on-form-submit#post-8963 Tue, 24 Aug 2010 16:28:02 +0000 theloudfew2 8963@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Where should I place the script in that workaround? I put it in my theme's functions.php file, but it resulted in the same outcome. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/sidebar-disappears-on-form-submit#post-8962 Tue, 24 Aug 2010 15:43:44 +0000 Chris Hajer 8962@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Regarding the delay before redirection, <a href="http://forum.gravityhelp.com/profile/spivurno" rel="nofollow">David Smith</a> has posted a work around:</p> <p><a href="http://ounceoftalent.com/2010/05/gravity-forms-tip-clean-confirmation-redirects/" rel="nofollow">http://ounceoftalent.com/2010/05/gravity-forms-tip-clean-confirmation-redirects/</a> </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/sidebar-disappears-on-form-submit#post-8960 Tue, 24 Aug 2010 15:40:25 +0000 theloudfew2 8960@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Np. <a href="http://rfblife.com" rel="nofollow">http://rfblife.com</a> ...

If they click submit in this gravity form in the sidebar, they are redirected to a different page in my site that has the extended version of the form. </p> <p>The problem is that when the user clicks submit in the smaller form, the other sidebar widgets disappear as does the gravity form, the main content stays, and there is a 2-3 second delay until the user is redirected. Any ideas how to either speed up the redirect and/or stop my sidebar from disappearing in the act of the redirect? </p> <p>Thank you! </p>
