Gravity Forms Conflict

We have been running Gravity Forms and Event Espresso successfully for the last month or so and are just getting ready to launch our first Event Espresso event. We upgraded to the new version and our Gravity Forms will no longer display on a page.

I believe the conflict is between our theme (Respo 1.0), Gravity Forms (1.7.9) and Event Espresso (3.1.35 P) using WP (3.6.1). These were all working successfully together until we upgraded Event Espresso. I can get the forms to display again by either changing to one of the default themes or by disabling Event Espresso.

Do you all have any idea what could have changed in the new version that would cause this conflict? We really don’t want to have to customize a new theme in order to run both. We have disabled the Event Espresso on our blog (because the Gravity Forms are critical). We have 2 blogs setup on our site. The one running Event Espresso is password protected (and, as I mentioned, not currently running the plugin) but the blog setup is otherwise the same as on our main blog which you can see at http://www.momsclub.org/blog/.

We appreciate the theme here may also be the issue so, if we have to, we can alter one of the default WP themes that are working but that will require a huge amount of rework so before we started on that path, I wanted to check with you and see if you may have any ideas what could be causing the conflict.

Thanks,
Kim.

Hi Kim,

I think it would be a good idea to rule out whether the theme has anything to do with the conflict. This can be quickly ruled out by installing the theme test drive plugin and running the default WordPress theme along with Event Espresso and gravity forms.

Sorry, I had to wait until low time to try this. Yes, disabling our theme and putting on a default theme fixes this as well.

Any suggestions on what in the theme may be the issue? It was working before the upgrade.

Thanks,
Kim.

I checked out the blog site you linked to and it’s loading 3 different versions of the jQuery JavaScript library. One is from the theme (version 1.6.1 which is out of date and likely the cause of the breakage.)

Here’s a screenshot of the site’s scripts that are loading.

The only version of jQuery that should be loading is the one from WordPress. We have a blog post that explains this in more detail:

I can advise checking with the theme author. There may be an update to the theme that corrects this.

Thank you SO much! I don’t think the theme has been updated in quite some time. We’ll let them know but I suspect our fastest option will just be to adjust one of the default themes to use our header.

You’ve been hugely helpful!!!

Thanks again,
Kim.
