 * Hi [@sgblogadmin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sgblogadmin/),
 * I don’t know exactly what’s going on but it appears like a plugin or theme on
   your site is stripping “inline styles” when a page is loaded.
 * When I view the rendered code of your site, I see the proper `style="display:
   none;"` elements which hide the fields. However, when I inspect the fields I 
   no longer see these styles.
 * I’ve seen similar things before where inline styles are stripped and applied 
   separately.
 * Does any of this sound familiar or plausible? Are you using any optimization 
   plugins that could have a setting that does this?
 * Let me know.
 * Thank you,
    Kevin.

 * Thanks Kevin for a great quick reply. I’m not a coder but we do have WP Optimize,
   WP Supercache, WP Minify Fix, maybe others… I will look / send them your thoughts
   and get back to you once we’ve fixed or with more questions.
 * Frustrating but that is wordpress plugin life!

 * Hey Tim,
 * Yeah what I would do is quickly browse the settings of WP Optimize and see if
   there is a “disable inline styles” or anything that mentions inline styles. The
   option might be in one of the other plugins you listed but I would check WP Optimize
   first.
 * Cheers,
    Kevin.

 * I tried disabling WP Optimize .. I have done, but it still does not work so it
   is elsewhere I think

 * Did you also try clearing your cache via WP Supercache while Optimize was disabled?
   One of the issues with caching plugins is that they make it hard to test those
   kind of quick changes.
 * By the way, if I scroll down to your form and load the page, I actually see the
   fields appear after the form. This lends further credence to the theory that 
   the styles are being stripped.
