 * Would be fine if you could rename the const getCookie to something like nf_getCookie,
   because the getCookie function is a very general function, needed from other 
   services or plugins.

 * Yes I agree I am getting “SyntaxError: Can’t create duplicate variable that shadows
   a global property: ‘getCookie'” and the form is not showing up.

   I’m sorry to hear you are experiencing this. Can you update your Ninja Forms 
   plugins to their latest versions and let me know if you continue to have the 
   same issues?
 * If you are still seeing the issue, can you contact our official support ([https://ninjaforms.com/contact](https://ninjaforms.com/contact))
   so we can take a closer look at your issue?

 * [@jmcelhaney](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jmcelhaney/) Why didn’t you
   fix the problem with the duplicate radio buttons right away with the update? 
   The thread about this still remains unanswered.
