 * Hi,
 * I have used this plug-in on other sites with no issues. However, I am using it
   on a new site and the plugin installs fine and I can get to the forms page to
   create a form, but all I can do is add form fields, etc, but I can not edit them,
   name them, or anything. The only difference with this site and the others is 
   that I’m using Gantry on this site. I’m wondering if there’s a conflict. I turned
   off the Gantry plug-in and all others, but still have the issue.

 * Hi,
 * Same problem here. Just installed formmanager and everything works just fine,
   except editing the form fields. When you click edit it changens into hide, but
   you can’t edit the text field. I’ve never had installed the e-commerce plugin.
   I do run wordpress 3.4.1.
    This plugin would be perfect for me if I can get it
   to work.

 * Do you have any other plugins installed? Also what theme are you using? (sometimes
   the themes do things to the post editor, which has side effects on the forms 
   editor)

 * I do have other plug-ins installed, but did disable them to see if there was 
   a conflict and there was no conflict. I am using a theme by Rocket Themes. I 
   really love this plug-in and would hope there is a simple fix to it.

 * Hey I apologize for the late response. I installed the Gantry theme & framework
   plugin (both 1.24) on my sandbox site and I was still able to edit forms and 
   form fields.
 * Would you be willing to copy & paste the HTML output to your browser for the 
   broken form editor page? Send to campbell AT campbellhoffman DOT com and I’ll
   take a look.
 * Usually when the form editor is broke it is because something is adding extra
   scripts to the form editor page. It can also happen if the default post / page
   editor is modified in a particular way.

 * Hey all — I am working on this issue as well. I’ve made some progress narrowing
   things down.
 * I’m having the exact same problem in the back end: on the “Edit Form” page, the“
   Add Form Element” area will allow me add and delete elements, but will not allow
   editing.
 * The site I’m working on uses the Grunge theme from RocketTheme. It comes packaged
   with RokStories.
 * Deactivating Gantry doesn’t change the problem. Deactivating RokStories does.
   RokStories appears to load Gantry’s mootools.js file on every admin page.
 * With **RokStories activated:**
    - on load, **fm-admin-main** generates a `'TypeError'` on line 4618 of `/wp-
      admin/load-scripts.php`
 *  - on load, **fm-edit-form** generates the same error, same file, lines 2157 &
      4619
 *  - also on load, **fm-edit-form** generates `Uncaught TypeError: Property 'id'
      of object #<HTML Document> is not a function` on line 127 of /wp-content/plugins/
      gantry/js/mootools.js
 *  - **fm-edit-form:** on click “text” to add a new text element generates `Uncaught
      TypeError: Illegal invocation` on line 2157 of `/wp-admin/load-scripts.php`
 *  - fm-edit-form on click “edit” to edit text element generates the following 
      monster error on line 2191 of `/wp-admin/load-scripts.php:`
    - `Uncaught TypeError: Object function (b,g){var h=Element.Constructors[b];if(
      h){return h(g);}if(typeof b!=”string”){return document.id(b).set(g);}if(!g){
      g={};}if(!(/^[\w-]+$/).test(b)){var e=Slick.parse(b).expressions[0][0];
       b
      =(e.tag==”*”)?”div”:e.tag;if(e.id&&g.id==null){g.id=e.id;}var d=e.attributes;
      if(d){for(var f=0,c=d.length;f<c;f++){var a=d[f];if(g[a.key]!=null){continue;}
      if(a.value!=null&&a.operator==”=”){g[a.key]=a.value;}else{if(!a.value&&!a.
      operator){g[a.key]=true;}}}}if(e.classList&&g[“class”]==null){g[“class”]=e.
      classList.join(” “); }}return document.newElement(b,g);} has no method ‘camelize’`
 * With **RokStories deactivated,** none of these errors occur.
 * I really don’t know js from a hole in the ground, but my working theory right
   now is that all Rok* plugins probably use the same code base, and for whatever
   reason this code base is loading /gantry/js/mootools.js everywhere on the admin
   side. Mootools is then throwing a wrench in /wp-admin/load-scripts.php for reasons
   beyond my expertise — perhaps because it is loading after whatever library load-
   scripts.php normally uses? I don’t know.
 * Plugin incompatibility is rampant with Gantry and I suspect this is what’s causing
   it, or at least some of it. If I’m right, then any given Rok* plugin may cause
   any other plugin to fail if it happens to use a function that gets overwritten
   by mootools. This would explain why no one can ever find anything wrong with 
   Gantry, and why there is no evident rhyme or reason as to which plugins are going
   to fail — the same plugin may fail, or not, depending upon which Rok* plugins
   are installed, or not.
 * Anyway… that’s my best guess. If anyone cares to try to make some forward progress
   on this issue I’d surely appreciate it. I have a ton of clients using RocketThemes(
   not by my encouragement!) and all this nonbillable troubleshooting is going to
   put me in the poorhouse.
 * Also… is that a straight-up, out-and-out screwup in the mootools.js file?? for
   realz???

 * The problem is that my admin pages load scriptaculous. Mootools and scriptaculous
   can’t coexist nicely.
 * In a perfect world, the RokStories plugin would only be loading mootools on its
   own pages.
