That will strip any of the extra hidden markup you don't want from the content and keep everything tidy. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/trouble-with-apperanceformat#post-1846 Sat, 28 Nov 2009 12:56:47 +0000 Cristian 1846@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I am really happy I've got my responses from you so quickly. I guess that in today's market, customer support is considered more valuable than ever - at least for me it is.<br /> I am currently writing another post, in the features requests area, just to give you an idea of what things could be added to this great plugin.<br /> Thank you! </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/trouble-with-apperanceformat#post-1845 Sat, 28 Nov 2009 12:52:09 +0000 Kevin Flahaut 1845@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Okay, glad you've got it working. If you're inserting the form into the content editor, you don't need to paste anything manually. </p> <p>There is an "Add Gravity Form" icon above the editor next to the other media icons. If you click on that, it will open a modal "popup" window to let you choose your form and a couple of display options, and to insert it into the page.</p> <p><a href="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/688846/gravityhelp/screenshot_961.png" rel="nofollow">screenshot 1</a></p> <p><a href="http://grab.by/QKg" rel="nofollow">screenshot 2</a></p> <p>Adding forms this way, you won't have any issues with extraneous code being pasted into the editor. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/trouble-with-apperanceformat#post-1844 Sat, 28 Nov 2009 12:42:27 +0000 Kevin Flahaut 1844@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Okay, that's why you're not seeing the &lt; pre &gt; tag when looking at the theme files. The information is stored in the database along with the post information and isn't hard-coded into the files you're looking at.</p> <p>You need to go back to the page/post where you embedded the form, go to the content editor, click on the HTML tab, and look there for the extraneous &lt; pre &gt; tags. If for some reason you don't see them there, I would just remove the form shortcode completely, update the post, then re-add the shortcode from the insert form panel (small icon above editor will launch it) and once the form shortcode has been updated, save the post again.</p> <p>Let me know how if that works for you. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/trouble-with-apperanceformat#post-1843 Sat, 28 Nov 2009 12:33:39 +0000 Cristian 1843@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I am adding the form via Wordpress content editor, as instructed in the help file, using the code: [gravityform id=2 title=false description=false]</p> <p>Ok, I've managed to fix this, as you instructed me. It appears that wordpress automatically adds the<br /> <pre> tag whe you use this line: [gravityform id=2 title=false description=false] So first you have to insert it, update the page, then switch to the html view and remove those tags.</pre> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/trouble-with-apperanceformat#post-1842 Sat, 28 Nov 2009 12:26:52 +0000 Kevin Flahaut 1842@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>are you adding the form directly to the template files via the function</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php gravity_form(2, false, false); ?&gt;</code></pre> <p>or are you adding the form via the WordPress content editor using the shortcode?</p> <pre><code>[gravityform id=2 title=false description=false]</code></pre> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/trouble-with-apperanceformat#post-1840 Sat, 28 Nov 2009 12:15:32 +0000 Cristian 1840@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I use NotePad ++ to edit the php, css &amp; js files. It's just that I can't seem to find that</p> <pre> tag anywhere. I've opened all the files from the gravity form folder and all the files from my current theme, and couldn't identify them. Those </pre> tags appear to me even if I'm using the default wordpress theme. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/trouble-with-apperanceformat#post-1837 Sat, 28 Nov 2009 11:35:51 +0000 Kevin Flahaut 1837@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>if you're looking at your content editor in visual mode, you won't see them - swap over to the HTML tab and you should see them there. If not, just delete the form shortcode from the editor completely, and re-add it from the insert panel instead of pasting it in. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/trouble-with-apperanceformat#post-1836 Sat, 28 Nov 2009 09:45:41 +0000 Cristian 1836@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Where exactly can I find those<br /> <pre> tags?
