 * The text labels for the form fields do not appear when the page loads. When I
   re-load the page, they appear. They show up in preview mode in WP. But not on
   the live site. Any thought on this?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Ftext-labels-not-loading%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi [@nyceone1](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nyceone1/)
 * What browser are you using? It seems to work properly for me in Chrome.
 * Thanks,

 * Hi Angus,
 * I work on Chrome but tried it on Safari as well. Same result. I know the form
   works because I have already tested it. But, I need the text fields to appear
   when people go to the page. Could this be some sort of loading issue with the
   theme or the server? I’m using Bridge. Thanks!

 * Hi [@nyceone1](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nyceone1/)
 * Are you saying that 1) they don’t load at all on the first page load, and you
   have to refresh to see them? Or are you saying that 2) as the page is loading,
   the labels are invisible for a while?
 * 2 is expected, because the plugin uses JavaScript to manipulate the contact form
   7 html. To reduce the impact of this flash of unstyled content, you can use caching
   and minification plugins to speed up the loading of your website.
 * If it’s 1, then that’s unexpected and I will need to help you debug – but I haven’t
   been able to replicate that behaviour on the link you sent.
 * Thanks,
    Angus

 * Hi Angus,
 * I’m experiencing scenario 1.
    They don’t load at all on the first page load. 
   I have to refresh them to see them.
 * I have pinpointed the problem to the following situations:
 * On Safari, if I go to the Contact page by typing in the URL (odonataboulder.com/
   contact/,
    the text labels appear. But, if I use the top menu to go to another
   page, and then select Contact from the top menu, the text labels do not appear.
 * Same issue with Chrome. If I use the top menu to go to the Contact page when 
   I am on another page, the text labels do not appear.
 * I am also having this exact problem on another website where I am using Material
   Design Contact Form 7.

 * Ah I see – the issue is that your theme loads pages dynamically with JavaScript.
 * All you need to do is hook in to the page load and call `window.cf7mdInit()` 
   after the page transition. Whether your theme makes this easy or not I don’t 
   know, but it should be possible because lots of plugins that rely on JavaScript
   will have this same issue.
 * Could you contact your theme’s support and refer them to this support thread?
 * Worst case – if the theme provides no way to hook into page transitions, you 
   would have to disable ajax page loading to allow the material design JavaScript
   to load.
 * Thanks,
    Angus

 * Thank you, Angus!
 * That would explain why this is happening with a couple other plugins. I will 
   contact Qode and see if there is a solution.
