 * Hey,
 * I’ve just installed your plugin on my local wordpress site as I want to test 
   it before applying it to live.
 * I installed and activated the plugin, went into the form settings and enabled
   real time validation via the form settings, saved, and then went to test my form.
 * It didn’t do anything and in the JS console I am getting this error – ‘Error 
   Applying validations!!’
 * Any ideas on what the cause could be for this?
 * Thanks, Harry.

 * Hi Harry,
 * This is the first time this bug has been reported.I need some additional information
   regarding your set-up:
 * 1) Please go to Gravity Form Settings> Real Time Validation and raise a support
   ticket.OR if its a local server with no capability to transmit email, then provide
   the list of other GF Addons installed on your set up
 * 2) Export your GF form and send it as an attachment to below email.Would like
   to see how you have set it up

 * Hi Harry,
 * The cause of the error has been detected.Need to perform couple of steps for 
   resolution.
 * On your set up, there is additional PHP script written (somewhere in functions.
   php or otherwise) that is changing the form ID of GF.
 * Look at this screenshot gform_wrapper_964487130 .In this 964487130 should be 
   the form id which is rare for a sequentially incrementing number beginning from
   1.
 * [https://slack-files.com/T03EW76TW-F3ZAUFEQ2-1c64bcebc2](https://slack-files.com/T03EW76TW-F3ZAUFEQ2-1c64bcebc2)
 * While Real Time Validation plugin pulls out ID of form as “16” which is more 
   realistic.
 * [https://slack-files.com/T03EW76TW-F401EAPGW-609068212a](https://slack-files.com/T03EW76TW-F401EAPGW-609068212a)
 * This mismatch cause RTV to not recognize the fields.
 * Now do this.
 * **Possible Steps for Resolution:**
 * 1) Note the ID of the form in question. If its 16, there is some script which
   is modifying that parameter
 * 2) Create a fresh new form may be with just 1 field for email. Note down its 
   ID from backend to check if the same xxx id is rendered in gfrom_wrapper_xxxx.
   This will tell us that whether changing of ID is just form specific problem or
   the script modifies it for every form.
 * 3) Activate RTV on the form created in step 2) and note if it works.
 * 4) If test is successful in step 3), create a new form with same fields as original
   form ( note: don’t duplicate create a fresh form) and activate RTV )
 * 5) If ID for the newly created form in step2) still changes on the frontend, 
   you would have to identify the script which does this.This is a huge change for
   any plugin to modify the core id of GF form.I am sure some custom script somewhere
   should be doing it.
 * Let me know.
 * Thanks

 * Hello Jeet,
 * I have exactly the same problem as Harryadf. I tried your solution but that didn’t
   help. Even in the form preview i get the error; Error Applying validations!!’
 * Any other solutions?
 * Thanks in advance!

 * Hi Bryan,
 * Something is going on over here. We need to fully troubleshoot:
 * Can you send your form export and URL AT [support@xlplugins.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/receiving-error-error-applying-validations/support@xlplugins.com?output_format=md)?
 * Let me check to see if it’s the same scenario.

 * Hi,
 * The issue was with the way RegEx was set up.The spacing between RegEx was causing
   from to break. It was resolved on the personal ticket.
 * Thanks

 * Hi Julio,
 * Usually, we copy RegEx from somewhere and there is a possibility that it can 
   have spacings.This issue was fixed after removing extra spacings from RegEx.
 * Not sure if you are facing similar issue.
 * Let me know if it doesn’t work for you.
 * Thanks
