Form fields not rendering except submit button in Bricks

    I’ve set up a form to create a custom post type and inserting the shortcode into a Bricks Builder page. The page shows the shortcode name and the submit buttons but none of the fields.

    Checking the generated output in DevTools, shows the form fields, even though they do not actually show .

    I’m not sure if this is a Bricks issue or ACF Extended problem so I’m posting in both support forumns.

    Many thanks

    Hello,

    Thanks for the feedback!

    The [acfe_form] shortcode should display the form normally. If the fields are displayed in the Chrome devtools, but not on screen, then it probably means you have some custom CSS rules which hide the fields on the front-end.

    You can try to use the native Twenty Twenty Four theme, the form will be displayed normally there. If your Bricks theme has CSS rules to hide fields, then I would recommend to contact their support.

    Thanks!

    Regards.

    Sorry, I got this wrong, there is a form field hidden but this is not one of the fields from the form, but an email validation input, which I didn’t specify. However, the submit button is displayed.

    I have tried deactivating all other plugins and tried using a guttenburg page to show the shortcode, but nothing works.

    Hello,

    Okay I see. This is the “Honeypot” field, which should be hidden (see documentation).

    Have you correctly mapped a Field Group in the Form UI in the “Field Groups” setting? If so, please make sure that you also disabled the “Settings > Field Groups Location” feature, as this will “Apply field groups locations rules on front-end display” (and if there is no rule for the front-end it might be hidden).

    Additionally, please check that the Fields is the Field Group don’t have any custom setting (or any custom hook in PHP) to be hidden on the front-end.

    You can try to create a new “Test Field Group”, with a simple “Text Field”. Then create a “Test Form” and map your new “Test Field Group”. Try to display that test-form. If it works, then it means you have some custom setting in your form which prevent fields from being displayed.

    Hope it helps!

    Have a nice day!

    Regards.

    Great, it was the Field Group Location setting, turned this off and it works! I must admit I wasn’t exactly sure what this meant, so maybe I should have researched a little more.

    Thank you for your help, I hope I can mnove forward now.

    regards
