Forms gone again.

    I posted yesterday and after digging around I found my Theme was the issue. An update was available, so I ran it, and that fixed it.

    I have AJAX and Cache Settings set as per all other messages.

    I am running JetPack, but disabling it does nothing. If I switch to 2021 them, then even with every other plug in activated, the form works fine.

    I have inspected the code of the page with both themes.

    The Theme I want to use now has hardly any elements for the forminator form. Pretty much empty.

    2021, plenty of elements.

    The theme I am trying to use is called TechUp (https://wordpress.org/themes/techup/)

    I am really starting to scratch my head, as now no elements are being rendered?

    TIA

    Update: I set up Multiple Theme plugin and set the page with the form to have 2021. That worked.

    I then edited the Theme footer.php to remove wp_footer() and the form was gone. Returned wp_footer() and the form is back.

    Now I know everyone will say, don’t edit a Theme, create a Child Theme. Well I actually make all my changes like this, then create a New Theme altogether as I add functionality and remove what I won’t use. Besides the point.

    I have been up all night trying to figure this out, so I think I am on to something.

    It will explain why it all worked when I did the Theme Update.

    I will fiddle a bit more and update this thread.

    Re uploaded the theme, sans my edits. It all works. Definately the wp_footer() function then.

    Okay, it is confirmed, wp_footer() is needed for the Form to display.

    Hi @thisiszeev,

    Thank you for reaching out to us.

    The wp_footer function is an important hook in WordPress that is used to add content to the footer of a website. Please note, Forminator uses the wp_footer to load scripts in the footer hence removing the wp_footer() will end up with Forms not loading as expected.

    Is there any specific reason that you need the wp_footer to be removed from the theme?

    Kind Regards,
    Nebu John
