* I am using the Participants Database HTML5 Form Elements plugin with jquery validation,
to validate our form fields and use conditional validation on many of the fields.
* This was all working extremely well, but suddenly, the jquery validation has
stopped working and the form validates using the standard Participants database
validation, which is no good for the conditional fields.
* I have no idea why jquery validation has stopped working. I have been through
every plugin and switched it off. I have been through all my jquery scripts one
by one and removed them and put them back. I have pulled back previous versions
from backup, but no joy.
* I have not yet gone back to a previous version of Participants database or HTML5
Form Elements, which I will try to do if I can find previous versions. I just
wondered if anything has changed which could have caused this problem, as I am
completely stumped at the moment and my form has become pretty useless after
over a year of work. I am feeling desperate, so if you have any ideas, I would
be very grateful. Thank you.

* There have been no recent changes that would affect this that I am aware of.
* I would be in a much better position to help you if I could see it in action.
Is that possible? Email me if you want it private: [support@xnau.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/jquery-validation-with-html5-form-elements/support@xnau.com?output_format=md)

* Thanks for the offer of extra help. I have found the problem. It was indeed a
plugin – ‘PDF24 Article To PDF’ Which is a shame as is was an excellent way to
save the form to a pdf. Although I had deactivated the plugin and refreshed the
form, I needed to come out of the form, refresh the site and go back into the
form. All is well!!
