Lastly there was two calls to JQuery, so I removed wp_footer temporarily to fix the issue. The theme author should be contacted and asked to put the JQuery call only in the header and only if it needs it. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/trouble-embedding-form-into-template-file#post-69236 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 17:21:16 +0000 Schrock 69236@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>sure. I also tried changing the theme to twentyten and then embedding the shortcode...it didn't work there either so my guess is that it's not a theme issue although i could be wrong. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/trouble-embedding-form-into-template-file#post-69234 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 17:16:20 +0000 David Peralty 69234@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Okay, would you be willing and able to send me admin login details to <a href="mailto:peralty@rocketgenius.com">peralty@rocketgenius.com</a> and I'll log in and see what I can do? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/trouble-embedding-form-into-template-file#post-69233 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 17:15:16 +0000 Schrock 69233@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I can preview my form, it will work on a wordpress page if I remove the internal page specific do_shortcode from the header.

You mentioned it was working on a WordPress page? Is this correct? Are you using conditional logic in your form? Can you remove your ajax=true call from your shortcode for testing? Are you using the latest WP and GF versions? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/trouble-embedding-form-into-template-file#post-69228 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 16:57:18 +0000 Schrock 69228@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>The site's primary purpose is to generate leads by offering a free customized (based on their input) bankruptcy evaluation. The home page is static with the form above fold and ready for input. There is, or will be a fair amount of information on the site as well. For each of the internal pages, I have it set up so that the form is "hidden" and then appears only when a user clicks on the the button in the right sidebar.</p> <p>You can see my entire header.php file <a href="http://pastebin.com/E1Mg7YNP" rel="nofollow">HERE</a></p> <p>Would I be better off placing the shortcode in the page.php file? I was under the impression that shortcodes would work anywhere on a php page between the body tags. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/trouble-embedding-form-into-template-file#post-69225 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 16:46:59 +0000 David Peralty 69225@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Wait, why is your shortcode in your header file?

Gravity Forms requires 1.6 or above to render form elements. Once that is resolved, I can take a look again to see if there are any other issues. </p>
