Date picker not working

  1. Hi,
    When I add a date field to my form, it works in the preview but not on my page with my css. Check it out here: http://plasticitydesign.com/rhcds/admissions/inquiry-form/

  2. We'll take a look, hopefully we can debug it just from looking at your frontend form. It is most likely a javascript conflict of some sort. Are you running any other plugins on this WordPress install? If so what are they?

  3. I see what the problem is, the HTML for that page isn't calling the javascript files that the datepicker requires in order to work.

    Are you calling the wp_head(); WordPress function in the header file for your theme?

    Can you please make sure to use wp_footer for JS calls if possible? I hate how most browsers load code based on its position and various plugins JS is clogging up the display of pages. :(

    Dunno if its possible, or even how heavy your JS is...

  5. They do try to load the JS in the footer, so arhammond should check whether he has a wp_footer call in his theme as well.

  6. Wow thanks! I added wp_footer and it works now. This is my first theme from scratch so I appreciate all the help. And I love Gravity Forms!
