 * Hey there :]
 * So i have just attempted to create new ninja forms for my website. Everything
   is fine and I am able to publish the forms. When i attempt to view the forms 
   on a published web page, no form is shown. I attempted to edit the form and it
   has made all my different inputs “false”. If I attempt to edit each input value
   I receive the message: “Unknown Field type “” not found.”. Please could you help
   me. It would be much appreciated.

 * Hi There,
 * Were you able to get a solution to this problem? I’m faced with exactly a similar
   issue.

 * We’re having exactly the same problem:

 * I noticed that it works fine if you have never had an older version of the plugin
   and you did a fresh install. If you updated from 2.X it throws these errors now.

 * Hi there

 * Yes the support took a look at the site and couldn’t solve it. I even took the
   site on staging deleted all plugins except Ninja Forms and used a standard theme.
   Same issue. After I looked in the database I noticed Ninja forms stores some 
   data that doesn’t get deleted even if you select Force Uninstall in the settings.
 * The solution was to switch to Gravity forms.

 * Thanks Lucian. I feared that maybe the case. Think I’ll go back to Contact 7,
   but will take a look at Gravity Forms – hear they’re popular right now 🙂

 * Ninja Forms 3 is not yet ready for prime time. I did a new CentOs 7,apache, mariadb,
   and php installation. Created virtual hosts, installed WordPress and only Ninja
   Forms as a plugin. Same problem. How do you explain that? I’m also moving to 
   Gravity Forms. Good thing my site is still under development

 * Was it a new installation of Ninja forms? Weird it’s supposed to happen when 
   you upgrade from the 2.X. I tried it on a another site and it seemed to work 
   there.

 * Yes it was the latest version. Maybe there was a conflict with the theme I’m 
   using.

 * I think I have found the cause of the on my side. I use ssl on all sites I build.
   I tested with a plain non ssl WordPress installation and everything worked as
   expected. I then created an https WordPress installation, problem back again.
   I don’t know if Ninja Forms cannot handle self signed certs or something else

 * I think you are right! I’ve tested on 2 sites using ssl hostgator and wpengine
   that’s using Let’s Encrypt certificate and both have the same issue. When I tested
   without SSL it worked.
