Won't display more than 6 checkboxes on a page

  1. Building a form with 9 checkboxes. Form preview from form builder OK but the entire page content is blank when >6 cbx fields. Page is fine on 6 or fewer cbxs. Running WP 3.2.1 and GF 1.5.

    Any ideas please?

  2. Does the form with > 6 checkboxes break in the preview as well?

  3. No - works just fine.

  4. Same problem with Multiple Choice.

    I have tried >6 items in a single field and 6 separate fields - same issue.

  5. Can you post a URL to your form so I can check it out? I haven't seen this behavior before so I'm going to need to see what's going on in your page.

  6. Ok

    What I'm trying to achieve:

    http://www.acpinternational-uk.org/elections-2011

    With > 6 items I get:

    http://www.acpinternational-uk.org/elections-2011-more-than-6-items

    Just noted that a simpler form with no item links - based on calendar months works fine,

    http://www.acpinternational-uk.org/12-months

    So maybe problem with links or the evolution lightbox plugin.

  7. The strangest thing here is that on the second (non-working) form, the form isn't even being rendered on the page. It's not there and hidden or broken, something is preventing it from being rendered at all - most likely breaking your shortcode that outputs the form. I find it strange that this only happens after a certain number of choices. Have you tried removing or switching out the 7th choice in your list to see if that has any bearing on it?

    From there, I would try testing for script/plugin conflicts and see what you come up with.

  8. Yep - I'm stumped - I wonder if I've hit a JS buffer or some other memory limit because it fails to render the page content altogether. Error logs may be my next port of call on this one but alas I've spent too long on it and have taken a less elegant approach as a workaround ...

    Thanks for your help - I'll let you know if I come back to it and solve it.

    Cheers

  9. I would suggest testing for plugin/theme conflicts and also increasing your available PHP Memory. It does sound like a memory issue, as you suggested above. It's very odd behavior and not something I have seen before. But memory issues can cause very strange behavior to occur.
