# Forminator Forms Not Appearing

 *  Resolved [johnrhac](https://wordpress.org/support/users/johnrhac/)

 * [2 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/forminator-forms-not-appearing/)
 * I have created a few different forms using Forminator and I can preview them 
   in WordPress. However when I paste the shortcode onto a page and upload the froms
   don’t appear on the website. I have enabled the “Load form using AJAX” and “Prevent
   page caching on form pages” options. I have also turned other plugins off, one
   by one, in case they were conflicting. As a test I used the very simple ‘standard’
   contact form exactly as provided by Forminator (in case the more complex form
   I created was incorrect in some way). Even the standard template form won’t appear.
   Can anyone advise how I can fix my page or settings so that the form is visible?
   Many thanks.

 * Hi [@johnrhac](https://wordpress.org/support/users/johnrhac/),
 * Sorry to know that you are experiencing this issue.
 * I checked the mentioned URL and I was unable to see any form rendered on the 
   page. I also checked the browser console to see if an error was logged but was
   unable to observe any.
 * Can you please confirm if you tried switching to a default WordPress theme and
   still notice the issue?
 * Wouldn’t you mind please sharing an export of the form using Google Drive or 
   Pastebin.com so that we can take a closer look? I hope the following guide comes
   in handy: [https://wpmudev.com/docs/wpmu-dev-plugins/forminator/#import-export](https://wpmudev.com/docs/wpmu-dev-plugins/forminator/#import-export)
 * We look forward to hearing back from you.

 * Thanks Nebu. When I changed to a default WordPress theme the form worked! So 
   it looks like our bespoke theme is preventing Forminator from working. Any suggestions?
 * Here is the export. Its the bog standard contact form provided with Forminator.
   The same happens with other forms I have drafted.

 * Hello [@johnrhac](https://wordpress.org/support/users/johnrhac/),
 * Unfortunately the code shared directly in your post couldn’t be imported, because
   it has been automatically changed by the post editor.
 * In order to find out what is causing the incompatibility issue, you can enable
   debug logging by modifying _wp-config.php_ file, as explained here:
    [https://developer.wordpress.org/advanced-administration/debug/debug-wordpress/](https://developer.wordpress.org/advanced-administration/debug/debug-wordpress/)
 * After adjusting _wp-config.php_ please flush any site caches, and refresh the
   page that contains the form.
 * In case there’s a PHP error, a new _debug.log_ file should appear in _/wp-content/_
   directory on the server. That file should contain the details about the error.
 * If you’d like our techs to review the file, could you please email us at [wpsupport@incsub.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/forminator-forms-not-appearing/wpsupport@incsub.com?output_format=md)

   _debug.log_ file from the server – the form export file, which you can download
   from the Forms section: [https://prnt.sc/wCx6_4HONEEA](https://prnt.sc/wCx6_4HONEEA)
 * Looking forward to your reply!

 * Thank you Dmytro. That was semi-terrifying but I have managed to create a debug
   file and I have sent it with a screenshot of what the form should look like (
   from the preview) to the e-mail addy you mentioned, along with the export and
   other information. Many thanks, John.

 * Hi [@johnrhac](https://wordpress.org/support/users/johnrhac/)
 * Thanks for the information.
 * After temporarily importing the form to my test site, it worked as expected.
 * Also, I was not able to find any relevant error in your logs, as you mentioned
   the form does work with the WP default theme, the issue is related to it, could
   you please share your theme, please send it to [wpsupport@incsub.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/forminator-forms-not-appearing/wpsupport@incsub.com?output_format=md)

 * The zip file was rejected several times as appearing to be spam. So I sent a 
   message with rather a lot of attachments. Thanks, John.

 * Problem solved, thank you 🙂 . Amin noticed that footer didn’t enqueue the WordPress
   script. To fix this I added wp_footer(); function to my footer.php, as suggested
   by Amin. and …. BINGO! the forms now work. Thank you
