Not Getting the Correct Form Preview Path

  1. When I try to preview a form from the WP dashboard, the default preview path I get is this - http://topdownengineering.com/tde/?gf_page=preview&id=1. This only shows a listing of my files, not the form preview.

    I suspect this has something to do with the fact that the site is being controlled from another directory ( /tde/ ) because if I use this path instead - http://topdownengineering.com/?gf_page=preview&id=1, I can now see the form preview ( by omitting the /tde/ ).

    I am setting up Gravity Forms for a client, so ideally the Preview links within the WP dashboard should work. How can I correct the preview path?

    Thank you in advance!

  2. Are you running the latest version of Gravity Forms? I believe this post may be related to what you are experiencing:

    Which should have been corrected.

  3. I am using version 1.6.4.4 of Gravity Forms. Downloaded it yesterday.

    I've taken a peak at the preview.php file to see if I can modify the path, but apparently that file's changed from what has been posted on the forums, so I can't replicate any of the proposed fixes.

    If you can help me find a solution, I would appreciate it.

  4. It seems your file directory shows no matter what, even if you just place this:

    http://topdownengineering.com/tde/

    Is that the intended behavior or your preview URL?

  5. The intended behavior is for the /tde/ directory to host the WP core files and control the site.

    That directory will remain in place and is not the preview url since the site is brand-new (using no-index until the site launches).

  6. The issue is that you need an index.php file. If you take a look at this link: http://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory

    Note Step #7.

  7. Yep, that was my problem. Placed a copy of index.php back in the /tde/ folder and now everything works like a charm. Thank you!
