Form field labels missing

    Hi there… I’m using your plugin on a page which contains both text and a Formidable form shortcode. All works beautifully (in fact I’m super-impressed) except that the field labels aren’t showing up eg.

    My Name: nikbond

    Shows as simply… nikbond

    I’ve tried add a “print-only” class around the form shortcode which works up to a point ie. field labels DO show up, but I also seem to get a double data entry box for each field which looks worse than having no labels.

    Any ideas at all why the field labels are being omitted when using the standard WP Template option and/or how to fix? I’m happy editing code/css if necessary and would really like to use your plugin if I possibly can as it seems by far the simplest/most efficient way of achieving what I want… except for this one issue.

    With many thanks in advance and fingers crossed.

    Hi there… thank you for getting back to me so promptly. Unfortunately the site is currently only on my local host but if all else fails, I will try to get a version online later. In the meantime, I’m thinking possibly the simplest option IS to use the “print-only” option but then to hide the elements I don’t want to display with CSS.

    When I use the “print-only” option the elements I don’t want to see have a class of .frm_hidden. I’ve tried hiding them with CSS along the lines of:

    #printfriendly.pf-12 div#pf-print-area div#pf-content div.print-only .frm_hidden
    {display:none !important;
    visibility:hidden !important;}

    … but this doesn’t seem to be working. Any hints? ??

    Add this CSS in the “Custom CSS” box in Plugin Settings -> Advanced

    
#printfriendly  .frm_hidden {
display:none !important;
}

    Ah… thank you SO much! That’s working perfectly and by using the same model, I see now that I can also control other elements on the page to fine tune the results.

    I’ve tested 3 or 4 different PDF generator plugins in my search and yours seems to be far and away the most flexible and user-friendly.
