Breaks third party Gravity Forms fields

For days I’ve been having issues with addons for Gravity Forms where they suddenly stopped showing the fields. Only title and description. The native GF fields worked fine, but any third party ones stopped working. Fields I confirmed were not compatible: Gravity Perks Nested Forms and Slim Image Cropper for Gravity Forms.

I’ve been going through code looking for a solution and googling results. I identified that the fields were not using the right class. They were all using “GF_Field”, the basic class. They should have been using “GF_Field_Nested_Form” for example. The cause was that Gravity Forms was being called too early by this plugin. And that was caching forms before all the plugins have loaded and registered their fields.

There’s a pull request which fixes the problem but it has not been released. That was submitted in 2018. It’s the end of 2019 and has not been pushed as a release.

I uninstalled this plugin and replaced the Forms ACF field with a number input where you manually enter the form id. Everything is suddenly working.

Don’t combine this plugin with third party GF extensions.
