The code will look like some variant of this:<br /> <a href="http://www.wprecipes.com/disable-wordpress-automatic-formatting-on-posts-using-a-shortcode" rel="nofollow">http://www.wprecipes.com/disable-wordpress-automatic-formatting-on-posts-using-a-shortcode</a></p> <p>Find something in that code to search your theme for and you will probably find it. When you do, remove the function, and remove the associated shortcode, whatever that is in your theme. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/too-much-space-in-form-containers#post-85381 Tue, 30 Oct 2012 22:42:34 +0000 Kevin Jonas 85381@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Yeah, I already tried that.</p> <p>Any pointers to "the offending code" ?</p> <p>What would it probably look like?</p> <p>Thanks for any clues. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/too-much-space-in-form-containers#post-85356 Tue, 30 Oct 2012 21:10:43 +0000 Chris Hajer 85356@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>The work around is to wrap the [gravityforms] shortcode in the [raw] shortcode [/raw] - did you already try that?</p> <p>Complete instructions for fixing their code is beyond the support we can offer.

Since you guys are obviously the competent and responsible ones in this issue with Ultimatum, can you provide specific patching instructions, or any kind of workaround for Ultimatum, until they get their act together? Thanks! </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/too-much-space-in-form-containers#post-78743 Wed, 03 Oct 2012 16:29:21 +0000 Chris Hajer 78743@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Neither is universal. You could have this function in your theme with a shortcode called [dontbemessin] and then the [dontbemessin] shortcode would run the same function. The issue is not the name of the shortcode, it's how that function goes about making sure your input it not processed. The problem is, in the meantime, it messes with the processing of every other shortcode in WordPress.</p> <p>If you never used the [raw] shortcode functionality, remove that function from your theme. Then you can stop wrapping the Gravity Form shortcode in the [raw] shortcode.</p> <p>The problem is the addition of the functionality into WordPress, not the actual name of the shortcode. It's not included in WordPress at all. Some theme providers include this code in their themes. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/too-much-space-in-form-containers#post-78741 Wed, 03 Oct 2012 16:25:14 +0000 NWeSource 78741@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Interesting. Although [raw] worked for me, [noformat] doesn't seem to work in my theme - is it supposed to be universal in WP? I don't see much on Google about it... thanks! I will make sure this resolution gets forwarded on to this theme maker as well, so let me know what's next or what to tell them...</p> <p>I was going to forward the link to them as well, but it is protected content so I will appreciate further assistance.
