Extra Space / Padding Under Form

Gravity Support Forums » Plugin Support » Gravity Forms

    Hello,

    There is too much space under the gravity form on my site (look at the "make an appointment" area: http://goo.gl/kawxF

    I have searched here, and the solution for me is not using [raw][/raw]- that had no effect.

    I put this in my custom css, and it squished all of the fields together, but did nothing to take away the extra padding at the bottom of the form.

    [css]
body .gform_wrapper form .gform_body ul,
body .gform_wrapper form .gform_body ul li {
	list-style-type: none !important;
	list-style-image: none !important;
	list-style: none !important;
	background-image: none !important;
	background: none !important;
	padding: 0 !important;
	margin: 0 !important;
	border: none !important
}
    Copy

    How can I fix this?
    Thank you!

    You have a bunch of line breaks being added to our code. This is usually due to a plugin adding them for some reason. Can you do the following to isolate please? http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Testing_for_a_Theme/Plugin_Conflict

    Okay, I have deactivated every plugin except for Gravity Forms. You will see that the problem is still happening: http://goo.gl/kawxF

    It's not a plugin conflict, it's most likely a theme conflict. Have you tested with the default WP theme yet?

    This CSS snippet might help to combat the injected paragraph and break tags coming from your theme:

    [css]
.gform_wrapper br, .gform_wrapper p {
display: none;
}
    Copy

    Just a note.. it's going to be better moving forward if you find out what the actual cause of the extra markup is in your theme and correct that. If you simply use the CSS snippet above.. that fixes the immediate problem with this form, but when you go to add other forms and want to use HTML fields, or descriptions with paragraph tags or breaks then they will be disabled as well.

    This snippet would target on the the form in question.. form ID #1

    [css]
body #gform_wrapper_1.gform_wrapper br,
body #gform_wrapper_1.gform_wrapper p {
	display: none;
}
    Copy

    Best of luck with it.

    Hi Guys,

    I seem to be having the same problem on my site: http://vanguardmastering.com where gravity forms inserts unwanted markup lines. I would greatly appreciate if someone could have a look and let me know if there is a way to remove the unwanted space above and below my gravity forms.

    I have already tried adding the raw brackets etc... doesn't seem to work for me...

    Any support is greatly appreciated. :)

    Thanks and Kind Regards

    Thanks for your reply.

    I did the tests as suggested and was able to fix the main issue by using Kevin's code as posted above. However, I am still having one line added to the form just below the submit button, I have checked this with firebug and it seems that gravity form is adding something like this just below each submit button: <p> … </p>

    I would really appreciate if someone could take a quick look at the forms on my site and let me know how to remove this added line.

    I have already spent all day trying to figure this out, and would therefor really appreciate any suggestions.

    Many thanks and kind regards, :)

    You did our Plugin/Theme conflict test? Every single time, without fail, it is due a theme or plugin conflict that is adding these extra paragraph tags or line breaks. If you are experiencing these issues, after having tried both, please let us know.

    I realise that there might be plugin conflict, but this issue can most likely be resolved by you within less than a minute. For convenience I have uploaded a screenshot of firebug inspector here:

    http://vanguardmastering.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Screen-Shot-2013-05-27-at-8.29.32-PM.png

    I won't disable the plugins again as this would take far too long and it wouldn't be an option anyway as I require them for the functionality of the site.

    I have also already contacted the theme developer who has said that this issue is being introduced by Gravity Forms, and adding the code above has already resolved one issue, so its likely that this problem is in-fact caused by your plugin.

    I would really appreciate your support on fixing this simple issue.

    Thanks and Kind Regards,

    I'm positive that if you installed Gravity Forms on a clean WordPress installation, running the default theme, you would see that we don't by default add this in. This is due to Themes adding code in how they deal with shortcodes. This is why we have to tell people sometimes to add [raw] tags around our shortcode so that they don't get processed by the hijacked system.

    The code above, the CSS is just a hack to hide the extra spacing being added by the paragraph tags and line break tags, but not something created by Gravity Forms.

    Which is why Kevin, one of the developers said:

    it's going to be better moving forward if you find out what the actual cause of the extra markup is in your theme and correct that.

    I hope you get this resolved, and please tell your theme developer what I've said in hopes that it leads them to a solution. Believe me, if we could fix this, we would...
