# Spoiler shortcode not working with Formidable forms?

 * [12 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/spoiler-shortcode-not-working-with-formidable-forms/)
 * I have a site running:
    WP 3.8.1 Formidable forms Version 1.07.04 Shortcodes 
   Ultimage Version 4.5.3
 * The Spoiler code displays the ‘+’, but does not expand. If I disable Formidable
   forms then spoiler works.
 * You can see the problem at:
    [http://drhaldeman.com/treatment/retention/](http://drhaldeman.com/treatment/retention/)
 * The code is working fine with the same version of WP and plugins on another site,
   but not on this site.
 * I have disabled custom formatting, but it doesn’t help.
 * Below is a dump of the errors on loading this page. Any idea what is causing 
   the problem and how to fix it?

 * Hi,
 * actual problem is in this script – [https://db.tt/6LxBX4Lt](https://db.tt/6LxBX4Lt)
 * Try to remove superfish script from your page.

 * Thanks Vladimir for identifying this!
 * Do you know how to disable superfish in the WP Twenty Twelve theme?
 * I tried adding the following code to /wp-content/themes/haldeman/functions.php:
 * function unregister_superfish() {
    wp_deregister_script( ‘superfish’ ); wp_deregister_script(‘
   superfish-args’ ); } add_action( ‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, ‘unregister_superfish’);
 * as described in this post:
    [http://www.quickonlinetips.com/archives/2012/10/disable-superfish-scripts-genesis-theme/](http://www.quickonlinetips.com/archives/2012/10/disable-superfish-scripts-genesis-theme/)
 * But, it still loads on the page.
 * Thanks again for the help!

 * This script has been added not by wp_register_script function. It means you can’t
   de-register it. I think it was added manually through template file or maybe 
   with specific plugin which allows you to add custom scripts to the pages.
 * Try to review your **header.php** file (in theme directory).
    Also, you can try
   to disable all plugins one-by-one to detect plugin which causing this error.

 * That did it! I removed the superfish function call from the header.php file in
   the theme directory and it fixed the problem.
 * Thanks Vladimir! Much Appreciated!
