Hidden Field not working

    Whenever I click "Hidden Field" in the GForms admin, I don't see any field. Is the "Hidden Field" in the GForms admin... hidden? :)

    Thanks

  2. @sbruner No, they shouldn't be hidden. Something is going on with your site if they are hidden. If you send us a WordPress admin login for the site having the issue and tell us which form we can take a look. You can send us this information via our Contact Us form and reference this forum post.

  3. It appears that the following CSS rule is conflicting.

    Line 158 of /gravityforms/css/forms.css:

    .gform_wrapper input[type="hidden"], .gform_wrapper input.gform_hidden, .gform_hidden { display: none; }

  4. @scOttkclark The forms.css file should NOT be getting output in the admin. It's only designed for frontend usage. If the forms.css is present in the Admin then you may be globally enqueuing the forms.css file instead of only enqueuing if it's not the Admin. By default the forms.css is not output in the form builder.

  5. That's probably it, I'll check around the site for any global calls.

  6. Yep, that was it. We had a call for it to only show up on non-admin pages but we've had a few devs on the site in the past year so there may have been confusion and someone added it globally. Thanks again, sorry for the trouble.

  7. @scOtt No problem, it's happened to other users before also so I knew right away what it was when you mentioned it.
