• Hey,
    I have a problem with special characters (shortcodes) which appear in the plugin “caldera forms”, like
    /*]]>*/

    http://www.knipz.lima-city.de/knipz-fotobox-siegen-leihen

    The form uses conditional logic, so there could be a conflict with the Dyad theme and WordPress shortcode handling.

    I dont know where the problems come from, cause they are not visible in the caldera editing mode and wordpress page editing mode. They just exist on the online website and preview.

    I am happy about advice, thanks 🙂

  • This might be something the plugin author would be in a better position to investigate, since they’ll know how this particular plugin in structured.

    Out of curiosity, do you see the same characters if you switch themes (without altering your shortcode)? Perhaps Twenty Seventeen?

    I tested with Dyad and could not reproduce in single post view. When I looked at the post in archive, the form was removed, since you use wp_kses() post on excerpts and we use inline JavaScript.

    Hi Josh!

    I also wasn’t able to reproduce on single posts, or pages, but I may not have my form configured the same way.

    @kev8463 – perhaps if you provide some more details about the form you’ve set up, Josh can see what’s triggering those characters?

    First, thanks for your feedback.

    I used two dropdown menu and one checkbox. For the checkbox I used a conditional logic to show, if specific entry of first dropdown menu is selected.
    The last dropdown menu is shown with two OR possibilities, if specific entry of first dropdown menu is selected or specific entry of checkbox is selected. Thats all.
    If I remove the conditional logic, it looks fine.

    Interesting – I used your description to create a similar form on a static page using Dyad with no trouble:

    – first a dropdown
    – then a checkbox shown based on a specific option from the dropdown
    – then a second dropdown, based on the specific selection from the first dropdown and a specific selection from the checkbox.

    Perhaps try disabling your other plugins to see if any of them are causing a conflict?

    If not, I’d definitely post to the plugin forum directly for more help.
