Problem solved using code found here:
https://www.featheredowl.com/contact-form-7-default-select-value-url-query-variable/
along with some custom querying from advanced custom fields and visual composer files

Well, I am already hacking the theme files so it’s essentially finding the right code to accomplish this. I’ll checkout Contact Form 7, but also wondering if there was a different form plugin this would be easier with?

No, and unfortunately for this thread I no longer work with that client.

Just realized my code wasn’t pasted. Go to code at https://pastebin.com/wnRAdd7k

That helped me too. Thanks!

I recommend putting in the extra spacing through CSS, but if you REALLY have to hack it from the WordPress WYSIWIG editor, go into the text tab located in the upper right corner of the box (this is HTML editor. Will default to this if you don’t switch it back, so make sure to switch it back when you’re done if you aren’t used to this) and where you put in the line breaks that are more than 2 lines add   (which is the HTML equivalent of a space). See below

Text blah blah

 

more text blah blah.

This adds a paragraph with a space. But it’s not exactly proper syntax, so change the CSS file if you can.

Alas, time seems to heal most wounds in WordPress too. An update in NextGen has lead to the answer we were looking for. I wonder if there was a potential caching issue that didn’t allow me to catch the error when I disabled all of my plugins. Something to remember for next time. Thank you to everyone who provided some assistance!

Hello Andrew, thanks for double checking! I’m currently on vacation but I’ll let you know next week how things look! Again, thank you for checking in!

For the sake of this thread, I reactivated the Twenty Twelve, but I have to go through a proofing process at work, so I need to return to the child theme by the end of the night. I already tested it, but if you need to see what I’m talking about take a look sometime within the next few hours.

Tried reinstalling Twenty Twelve again and nothing changed – still doesn’t work when I activate Twenty Twelve. So to be clear, this is something I should be checking in Twenty Twelve or in my child theme? Since toggle isn’t working in my parent, I don’t know what comparing the two will do? Maybe I’m missing something, but let me know if I’m misinterpreting your advice.

If you stop using your child theme and JUST use Vanilla Twenty Twelve, does it work?

Nope, not working. Hence my initial thought that maybe the new upgrade did something to the files? I even uninstalled and reinstalled the theme and nothing changed.

By any chance, have you loaded navigation.js elsewhere, prior to the functions.php in the parent theme being executed?

The only place navigation.js is called is in the parent theme’s files lines 90-153. See below.

function twentytwelve_scripts_styles() {
	global $wp_styles;

	/*
	 * Adds JavaScript to pages with the comment form to support
	 * sites with threaded comments (when in use).
	 */
	if ( is_singular() && comments_open() && get_option( 'thread_comments' ) )
		wp_enqueue_script( 'comment-reply' );

	/*
	 * Adds JavaScript for handling the navigation menu hide-and-show behavior.
	 */
	wp_enqueue_script( 'twentytwelve-navigation', get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/navigation.js', array(), '1.0', true );

	/*
	 * Loads our special font CSS file.
	 *
	 * The use of Open Sans by default is localized. For languages that use
	 * characters not supported by the font, the font can be disabled.
	 *
	 * To disable in a child theme, use wp_dequeue_style()
	 * function mytheme_dequeue_fonts() {
	 *     wp_dequeue_style( 'twentytwelve-fonts' );
	 * }
	 * add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'mytheme_dequeue_fonts', 11 );
	 */

	/* translators: If there are characters in your language that are not supported
	   by Open Sans, translate this to 'off'. Do not translate into your own language. */
	if ( 'off' !== _x( 'on', 'Open Sans font: on or off', 'twentytwelve' ) ) {
		$subsets = 'latin,latin-ext';

		/* translators: To add an additional Open Sans character subset specific to your language, translate
		   this to 'greek', 'cyrillic' or 'vietnamese'. Do not translate into your own language. */
		$subset = _x( 'no-subset', 'Open Sans font: add new subset (greek, cyrillic, vietnamese)', 'twentytwelve' );

		if ( 'cyrillic' == $subset )
			$subsets .= ',cyrillic,cyrillic-ext';
		elseif ( 'greek' == $subset )
			$subsets .= ',greek,greek-ext';
		elseif ( 'vietnamese' == $subset )
			$subsets .= ',vietnamese';

		$protocol = is_ssl() ? 'https' : 'http';
		$query_args = array(
			'family' => 'Open+Sans:400italic,700italic,400,700',
			'subset' => $subsets,
		);
		wp_enqueue_style( 'twentytwelve-fonts', add_query_arg( $query_args, "$protocol://fonts.googleapis.com/css" ), array(), null );
	}

	/*
	 * Loads our main stylesheet.
	 */
	wp_enqueue_style( 'twentytwelve-style', get_stylesheet_uri() );

	/*
	 * Loads the Internet Explorer specific stylesheet.
	 */
	wp_enqueue_style( 'twentytwelve-ie', get_template_directory_uri() . '/css/ie.css', array( 'twentytwelve-style' ), '20121010' );
	$wp_styles->add_data( 'twentytwelve-ie', 'conditional', 'lt IE 9' );
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'twentytwelve_scripts_styles' );

Or, less likely, have you overridden any functions in TwentyTwelve’s functions.php by making them pluggable functions in your child theme’s functions.php?

My functions code is pasted above this post, but there are no enqueued scripts in the functions.php file and I have already deduced that no plugins specifically are conflicting with theme by deactivating them.

This is stumpifying! Would it be easier to upload my entire themes folder somewhere to peruse freely? Thank you to everyone taking the time to check this out!

Not all of these are super changed from the original. So I’ll separate into two lists.

Major Customization

• content-page.php
• content.php
• footer.php
• header.php
• sidebar.php

Minor Customization

• archive.php
• category.php
• index.php
• page.php
• searchform.php
• single.php
• tag.php

Misc.

• functions.php (obviously this is completely different because the 2012 theme is being called as template)
• 3 custom page layouts (agritourism, homepage, states)
• 3 custom sidebars (blog, map, states)

I want to modify the header.php file. This is a custom child theme, so the header.php shouldn’t be the same as the Twenty Twelve header.php file.

Knowing that I tried hard coding the Javascript call into the header and footer and that did not work for either. Maybe it has something to do with my functions file?

Deactivating my plugins did not fix the issue :/.

Here is my header.php code. Maybe there’s some syntax errors in there. Thank you for all of your help!
