Shortcode in Divi 5 only displays “edit form”

    I am new to Forminator, but I am very impressed with it, based on my first test form. I am updating my site using Divi 5 and when I add the shortcode for my form to the code module, the only thing it displays is “Edit form” in blue. I have tested other forms that use a shortcode and they behave properly, so I don’t know if this is a Forminator issue of a Divi 5 issue. Any assistance you can provide will be appreciated as I think Forminator is the solution I have been looking for.

    Hello @wpnitro ,

    I hope you are doing well, and I’m sorry to hear that you’ve encountered this issue.

    Please open the form in the editor and navigate to Behavior > Rendering. From there, enable the following options:

    • Load form using AJAX
    • Prevent page caching on form pages

    After enabling these settings, kindly check whether the issue is resolved.

    You can find more information about these options here:

    Hi, Fida,

    Thank you for your response. After conducting additional research, I discovered that Divi 5 will not display the form associated with the shortcode in the visual builder. It does, however, display correctly on the live page. As I understand it, this is by design in Divi 5. Because the form design takes place in Forminator, that is where all styling must take place. Now everything makes perfect sense. The “Edit form” message that appears in the visual builder is instructing us to do exactly that. As a suggestion, changing the message to “Edit this form in Forminator” might help clear up the type of confusion I experience as a new user.

    Thank you for your assistance.
