Hey there!

I've installed cformsII v10.3 and it's running on WP v2.7.1. The plug-in configuration page works fine – I'm able to set up forms with no problem, modify settings, etc. However, when it comes time to embed it in the page, nothing shows up.

The form name is "Contact Us" and it's the only form I've created on this site. The embed code I'm using is <!--cforms name="Contact Us"--> When I view source on the page, I still see the <!--cforms name="Contact Us"--> code.

I'm totally baffled. I've used cforms on dozens of sites with no problem at all (and LOVE it!). Has anybody encountered this? Is there some sort of Wordpress configuration that surpresses code inserts using the comment tag? Any suggestions?

You can see the page where the form should be inserted here: http://www.isistraining.com/is…..9/contact/

Thanks very much,

–eric

Hi Eric

Have you solved this?  I have exactly the same problem.

Thanks

Did you insert

<!–cforms name="Contact Us"–>

in non-visual mode?

You can also insert form with cforms button (see on panel of visual editor)

Hey there!

Thanks for the responses!

@Andy – no, I'm still having the same problem.

@sonika – I do 99% of my WP editing using the HTML editor, which is how I've been inserting it. That said, because I couldn't get it to work, I also tried inserting it using the cforms button on the panel of the visual editor. No joy either way.

I even tried getting a plugin that allows you to embed PHP in your posts and tried to embed it using the PHP script. The PHP plug-in wouldn't work, though – the PHP script wouldn't run but was visible if I viewed source. Which was what made me wonder if there is some thing in Wordpress (a setting somewhere) that surpresses ALL code running inside the posts?

As for plug-in conflicts, I've only got Akimset, Headspace2, and cforms activated. Akimset shouldn't cause conflicts with anything and I've tested it with Headspace2 deactivated – still get the same problem.

Final potential thing – it's on GoDaddy shared hosting. Would that affect it?

Thanks all!

Best,

TheCosmonaut, see in header.php (in your Theme folder): is there <?php wp_head(); ?>before </head> ???

@TheCosmonaut

Can you try and wrap the form tag inside a paragraph:

<p><!–cforms name="Contact Us"–></p>

Hey there!

Thanks again for the responses!

@sonika – <?php wp_head();?> is in the header.hp file, on the line preceeding </head>

@Oliver – I've added and still no form showing up :(  View source on the page shows the following: <p><!–cforms name="Contact Us"–></p>

Any other ideas?

Thanks again!

What happens when you turn off your other plugins?

Heya!

The only other plug-ins I've got running are Akimset and Headspace2. Turning off both yields the same results (blank page, no form)…

Can you try a different theme?

Hey there!

Unfortunately, no – this is a custom theme developed specifically for the client. Are there specific things that I can look for in the theme that might break or suppress cforms?

Thanks!

Oh, sorry — I should clarify: If I DO use the default theme, the form gets inserted without a problem. But I have to use this other theme because it's what the client wanted. So obviously something in the theme is suppressing cforms — I'm just wondering what could do that (I've never heard of that before…).

Thanks!
