    Hi,

    I create forms with success in pages

    I add a form with Genesis Framework using a template tag option. When I load the form in a page it works fine. When I add the same form with a template tag in a category page an additional field occur after the anti-spam at the bottom of the form,

    This additional field is randomly defined and in some case this field does not exist at all in the form that I create. The form is in French and page show additional field in English.

    I want to rid of this random field and the text "This field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged." also add in the form.

    How could I rid of it

  2. This is the anti-spam honeypot field. It's an anti-spam option and it shouldn't be visible. The reason why it is being displayed is because your theme isn't outputting the Gravity Forms stylesheet, which would hide this field so users could not see it.

    This is also why you have bullets next to each form field on this page.

    You need to determine why the Gravity Forms stylesheet is not being output.

    This could be because you have CSS output turned off on the Settings page of Gravity Forms or it could be a theme related issue. Gravity Forms uses the wp_head() function in the header.php to enqueue the necessary CSS in the header. This isn't happening either because CSS output is turned off, your theme isn't calling the wp_head() function or there is some sort of conflict caused by other code on your site.

    Thank you Carl for your quick reply.

    Disabling Honeypot solves most of my problem.

    I can live with bullets. I am not able to disable them because I add the form with a special hook in Functions.php. The hook created with Functions.php is not able add your shortcode in the category page.

    Thanks again for your help.

  4. @gjfo, if you would like to post a URL to your form, I'm sure I could help you get the honeypot and bullet issues both worked out. I'm sure it's something we could fix rather quickly.

    I am having this issue, too, but I'd like to fix it rather than just remove the honeypot thing. My form was working until a few days ago -- and I did notice, after comparing to other sites I have using Gravity Forms, that the CSS was missing.

    I'm not sure what could be causing the issue, though, as I've tried disabling all other plugins, removing other js references in the header, etc. Do you have any other insights or experience that could help me pinpoint this problem? Unfortunately, I need to make the site live today, so this is turning into a bigger problem than it would ordinarily be.

    Thanks much.

    I guess hardcoding the CSS file in there works... but feels hacky to me. I still would love to hear if anyone has ideas for how to resolve this the right way.

    Thanks.

  7. If the Gravity Forms CSS is missing it means it's not being enqueued due to a problem with your theme or another plugin, or the CSS Output is turned off in the Gravity Forms Settings. Check the Settings page under Forms (Forms > Settings) and make sure CSS Output is turned on.

    Yep, I did that -- output is on. I also tried turning off all other plugins.
