Checkboxes not showing up

    I have had a form up and running for months and today it was brought to my attention that checkbox options of a checkbox field on the form are not there. The title of the selection is there but no actual checkboxes to check. If I go to edit this particular form and select the checkbox field in question, all of the checkbox options appear once I select one of them but when I update the form they disappear and only the title is left. I have also tried creating a new checkbox field and it's check box options will not appear either. Strange..... any ideas?

    Can you link to your form? Sounds like it could just be a CSS issue but I would have to see the form to be able to help further.

    The checkbox field in question is: Prayer Participation

    Can you export your form and send it to me at peralty@rocketgenius.com
    It looks to me in your HTML that there aren't any checkbox options in that field.

  5. Does this field show up appropriately when viewing from the form builder preview window in the admin?

    Rob,
    My previewer doesn't show anything. I'm assuming there must be a Javascript issue?

    Can I have you try the following:

    I am not sure why you can't see them, I just put your form in my test installs, and it was fine. I noticed you have it set to allow dynamic population, but that shouldn't effect anything.

    Do you have something in your functions.php file that could stop the field from showing?

    I found the issue. Ended up being this function in my functions.php file:
    function update_choices($choice_html, $field)
    I'd forgotten to place.......... return $choice_html; ...........at the end of the function the last time I made an update to it. The function was returning zero values for the choices since I wasn't returning a $choice_html variable.
    Sorry for the runaround. Thanks for the help anyway.

    Glad you were able to pinpoint it.
