Ninja Form not showing up
23 replies · Started by Andrew on May 10, 2020
Hi, I have a ninja form that I'm calling with short code from inside a LGC column. I can see in the rendered page that the form is being loaded, but it doesn't render on my page.
Hoping you could take a look and advise how to fix this. I'm wondering if it's due to a shortcode (ninja) being called from inside a shortcode (LGC) but I can't see why or how that would affect things.
Thanks

Hi there,
does the shortcode work if it is placed outside of a LGC column ?
Yes it does.
Hi there,
Would you consider using GenerateBlocks to replace Sections + LGC?
This is really the new and better way to go:

Let me know :)
Arrrggh. If it fixes this problem then yes. But, Leo, you're killing me :)
I installed LGC since I was tired of creating CSS columns and saw a recommendation in the forums here LOL. Seems I have a bit of rework to do as I'm using LGC right across the site.
Can you confirm that this change will solve the problem?
Thanks

OK that seems to do the job.
Would be nice if you could add the control to the classic editor as well. I mostly use sections and start out with the classic visual editor then sort everything out in the section with raw code. What would actually be even better is if you guys could get the sections to use the visual editor with either classic or block editor. That would make life a lot easier.
Any word on when this plugin will come out of beta?
Hi there,
Plugin release is set for this week - it's already in Release Candidate which means no more possible breaking changes just bug fixes.
The plugin will only work within the Block Editor - with it there should be no need ( or very little need ) to add custom HTML or use the traditional editor for building these types of layout.
The issue I have that forces me to use sections is getting a fullwidth background which so far the block editor only adds it to the text area. If you look around my site you'll see what I mean and perhaps you can give me a smarter way to get the same result.
Using the Block Editor and GenerateBlocks you would.
1. Set the Page Builder Container to Full Width:
https://docs.generatepress.com/article/page-builder-container/
2. Use Container Blocks to create your sections.
They can be set to Full Width or Contained and its Inner Container can also be set to Full width / Contained or a Custom width.
This will allow you to combine full width and contained sections on the same page.
Thanks David. It's pretty late here (01:30) so I'll have a go at it and report back tomorrow. In regards to this ticket, is there any chance you could take a look at the broken css at the bottom of the form in the URL I provided. You'll see the check box and text at the bottom is a mess and I can't work out which plugin's CSS (generate blocks or ninja forms) is doing it or how to fix it.
Could you disable the Cache plugin when you get a chance and let us know so we can help with the CSS changes to fix the form.
Disabled now.
Hi there,
I'm not seeing a Ninja form in the page linked.
Also definitely seeing some kind of caching activated.
Can you confirm?
Confirmed all caching is off. I missed the private cache, sorry. On that linked page, the form on the right is the one in question.
I hard cleared my browser cache but still not seeing a form on the right:

Also still seeing LiteSpeed cache in the source code.
