ParticipantWhen I put the [connections_form] shortcode on a page and click on a button e.g., Add Address, Add Phone Number nothing happens. It should open the corresponding form fields.
This is a cross post from the general WordPress support forum.
You mentioned the shortcode method was deprecated: what should I use instead?
And you mentioned the cause of the above error would be the result of a Fatal javascript error. I followed your directions (Chrome, F12, Console) but I do not see the error.
Please advise,

This is covered in the doc page, here.
re: And you mentioned the cause of the above error would be the result of a Fatal javascript error. I followed your directions (Chrome, F12, Console) but I do not see the error.
The next likely cause of the issue is that the theme does not include the wp_footer() template tag.
If you can share a link to the page with the issue, I can take a look and offer a solution based on what I find. Without the link to the page, the best I can do is offer by best guesses.

Ha, funny! I am sooo used to getting confirming emails I guess I completely missed that I can simply log in.
That said…
I did log in and see the issue. Something is very, very, wrong with the theme. Locking at the page source…
The page should end with:
</body>
</html>But yours does not. It goes on to show the
</article><!-- #post -->
and then some HTML for the comments then just stops. This is very broken HTML. The browsers must simply stop rendering the page when they come to the</html>
tag. However, that closing</article>
is missing up in the body where it should be.Those issues aside, my previous reply where I mentioned the possibility of the missing wp_footer() template tag, I suspect this is the reason Form does not work correctly. This infact will break a lot of plugins.
I suggest getting the theme fixed and ensure the wp_footer() template tag exists in the
footer.php
file (if the theme has one).Hope that helps!
