 * I’ve worked with this plugin for a long time, and have additionally donated to
   it – I certainly appreciate the work that’s gone into it and the fantastic resource
   it is.
 * That all said, I can’t understand for the life of me why there’s no satisfactory
   solution, within the plugin itself or with a third-party plugin, that addresses
   the calendar issue. I wasn’t aware that a working calendar was still such an 
   tremendously difficult feat in 2015 …
 * I’ve tried the various plugins available, and none do the trick. The built in
   option on works on Chrome. Has anybody found a simple fix for this that ensures
   the form has a working calendar in all browsers?

 * I have tried following instructions on your site to edit the Date field with 
   no luck.
    I’m trying to set min and max values to 7 days in the future from “
   today”.
 * I’ve tried [date mydate min:today+7 max:today+7]. The user is still able to enter
   any date, past or future. What am I doing wrong?
 * There’s no setting for Date field when editing the form. All other fields come
   with setting, this one does not.
 * Thank you for your assistance

 * Hi JBinJPN,
 * Personally, I have not encountered this particular issue with the calendar displaying
   in browsers.
 * That is what you are referring to correct? Have you testing the calendar on a
   clean install of WordPress?

 * Thanks for all the responses,
 * After much testing – this appears to be a theme related issue after all. The 
   theme has two different layout options – one wide, one boxed. When in wide, it
   works fine, but in boxed, it doesn’t.
 * Once I’ve uncovered what’s going on, I’ll report back in case it’s something 
   that may help other people.

 * Hi all,
 * Very simple issue – embarrassingly so – one of those problems you catch staring
   at you in the face 🙂
 * The z-index on the calendar was only 11 and therefore showing up behind the content
   container box. Changed to a higher number and all’s resolved.
 * Thanks again, and sorry for the frustration evident in the first post 🙂

 * Hey JBinJPN,
 * Glad to hear it was a quick and easy fix for you! It happens to us all when we
   are over thinking the problem at hand 😀
 * This will hopefully help others in the future who encounter a similar issue.
