 * I took a look at your link but did not see the form displayed anywhere, so unable
   to check it for you. Fee free to post a different URL where the form is displayed,
   will be glad to take a look.

 * Hey it looks like there are multiple JavaScript errors on the page. Using a free
   JS error notifier for Chrome, it shows errors such as:
 *     ```
       SyntaxError: Unexpected token 'var'
        /wp-content/cache/minify/dfba5.js:1
   
       SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier
        /wp-content/cache/minify/f4b6f.js:1
   
       TypeError: $(...).flexslider is not a function
        /submit-an-article/:1
       ```
   
 * These aren’t related to USP, but in general JS errors will stop things from working
   correctly. Once all JS errors are resolved, USP (and other scripts) will be able
   to function properly.
