    Hi,

    I have come across a rather strange set of circumstances in my WP installation. I have WP 3.2.1 installed, and I am using a Hybrid Themes Prototype child theme. I have had Gravity Forms (1.5.2.8) installed for quite some time on this setup and it has worked very well so far.

    Recently however I noticed that GF was doing something odd. I could no longer add fields to Forms. Seeing as though I had installed some new plugins I started investigating. Keep in mind GF still worked in every way, except being able to add fields to a form.

    I eventually got to the point where I have narrowed the issue down to 3 plugins:

    Google Analytics for WordPress - http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/google-analytics-for-wordpress/
    Google XML Sitemaps - http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/google-sitemap-generator/
    Email Login - http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-email-login/

    At present, if I activate any of those 3 plugins. I cannot add fields to any GF Form. However, with them de-activated. All works as intended.

    Now, all things said and done I have 9 active plugins (excl. the above 3) and Gravity Forms is working perfectly. 2 of those 9 are GF and the user registration add on, and one of them is Justin Tadlock's Members plugin. As far as I know, those 3 all play nicely with each other.

    As such, I am not sure what the issue is. It seems to me there must be some similarity between the 3 plugins causing the issue. However, at this stage I am not sure what that might be.

    Have you come across any such conflicts before? If so, any ideas on what exactly is causing the issue?

    Regards

    Nicholas

    Update: I have noticed a slight difference in the conflicts for the 3 plugins.

    When Google XML Sitemaps is active, I cannot add OR delete an existing form field. A dialog box is displayed saying: "Ajax error while deleting field"

    When GA for WP, or WP Email Login is active, I am able to delete existing fields, but not able to add them.

    No messages are displayed when trying to add fields.

    This doesn't sound like a plugin conflict, it sounds like a memory issue.

    It presents itself when you have a certain combination of plugins activated because plugins each use memory and if you deactivate a plugin it free's up memory and if you activate a plugin it then uses memory. This sometimes gets confused for a plugin conflicts when it's actually a server resource issue.

    You need to increase your available PHP memory. Here is a tutorial on how to do this:

    You may need to work with your web host on this.

    Hi Carl,

    Thank you very much for the response. I will give this a go and report back on it. I do need my host to do this so I have put in a request ticket. Will update this thread once I have checked it out.

    Hi Carl,

    You were right. I have activated those plugins again and they are now working correctly with Gravity Forms again.

    Thank you!
