 * I found the cause of this. It was a firewall rule blocking outbound traffic over
   port 443. this port is what https traffic is sent over and the api calls are 
   made with that protocol.

 * I’m glad you like it. IM sorry i haven’t been keeping up with the posts as much
   but i am working on a new update that will give you much much more control. Illl
   be giving an option within the fields themselves to add a placeholder and completely
   control the text.
    I hope to have it done in the coming weeks.

 * From what i can see it doesn’t look like the plugin is being included on the 
   page. Make sure you have it activated first and then if that isn’t the issue 
   then bear in mind that in a recent update i moved the call to the JS files to
   the footer of the DOM so ensure that your custom theme has the function wp_footer()
   inside of the footer.php file.

 * This was a known issue in older versions of the plugin but has been fixed in 
   recent updates. Please make sure your plugin is at version 1.1.0
    you can see
   the screenshots below of me testing the issue.

 * Inside of the gravity forms editor when you add a field there will be a tab that
   will say “Advanced” When you click that there will be a field titled “css class
   name” and in that field you put “gf-add-placeholder” and that’s all you need 
   to do.
 * If you want to apply this for the entire form then you can go into the form settings
   and under the form layout section you will see the same field as above and you
   just put “gf-add-placeholder” inside of it and then save and when you look at
   the form it should be working.

 * Im very sorry that it took me so long to get to this reply i’ve been swamped 
   with projects.
 * This is not an error on your end, it was something i forgot to change in the 
   code. The class that it looks for on drop-downs was different. I changed this
   though and i released an update so it should work fine now. Please update and
   let me know if you still are having the issue.

 * Since the plugin takes the labels generated by Gravity forms and then uses those
   as the placeholder values there shouldn’t be a reason for me to have to localize
   the script for translation.

 * Thank you for the review. As far as i know Gravity forms doesn’t have any support
   for placeholders which is why i made this. Im glad you like it 🙂

 * This is controlled via css. The code i used on a recent project is below ignore
   the @font-primary this is a less variable. You can switch out with any valid 
   font for the font-family property.
 *     ```
       ::-webkit-input-placeholder {
         font-family: @font-primary;
         color: #999999;
         font-size: 14px;
       }
   
       :-moz-placeholder { /* Firefox 18- */
         font-family: @font-primary;
         color: #999999;
         font-size: 14px;
       }
   
       ::-moz-placeholder {  /* Firefox 19+ */
         font-family: @font-primary;
         color: #999999;
         font-size: 14px;
       }
   
       :-ms-input-placeholder {
         font-family: @font-primary;
         color: #999999;
         font-size: 14px;
       }

 * I resolved the issue with the install. i somehow mixed up my directories so the
   main plugin files weren’t in the root of the plugin, but it’s resolved now.
