I am having problems with the required fields not validating. I have seen this can be caused by a Javascript/jQuery conflict. The strange this is I have had no problems until today. The forms were validating as expected. The only change I made to the site was deactivating a backup plugin. Any help would be appreciated. | |
I do not see Event Espresso installed on congress.boa.ac.uk. Can you post a link to a registration page so I can see the error? | |
Hi the registration page can be found here: http://congress.boa.ac.uk/event-registration/ | |
The error is coming from http://congress.boa.ac.uk/wp-content/plugins/form-maker/js/mootools.js | |
Thanks for looking into this. Do you have any advice on how this can be resolved? I have posted in the Form Maker forum the information you have given me. | |
Fixing it would require editing the plugin code, to find the appropriate function and disable or change it. It really is recommended that you get the plugin developer to resolve it, it will benefit you and all the other users of the plugin. As an aside, your theme also seems to be deregistering the WordPress supplied jQuery (v 1.8.3) and loading it’s own (1.7.2). This may affect things further down the line. | |
hello i’m having trouble with the required fields on this page: http://genobiotec13.com/inscripcion/ any thoughts? thanks! | |
Hi Carlos, It looks like your WordPress theme is missing the wp_footer() function in the footer.php template. Event Espresso (and many other WordPress plugins) depend on it being there in order to load up its scripts. You or the developer of the theme can add the wp_footer() function just before the closing body tag of the theme and the needed scripts will load. Here is a reference in the WordPress codex that will help: | |
Thanks for your quick and useful responses. The Form Maker developers have come back and said this is how the plugin is intended to work so I isolated it within its own site to get round the problem. Our event booking went live three days ago and we are receiving really positive responses from the delegates in relation to how easy it is to book! Thanks for all the great work. | |
