How to remove extra and from beginning or form

I know this has been discussed on the form but I think I’m presenting a slightly-alternate scenario. If not, my apologies for the duplicate.

I am also hitting this same reported issue of extra line breaks being added to my forms using Formidable with the Thesis theme. In my scenario, there are additional <br> and <p></p> at the beginning of the form BEFORE the editable HTML (using the form editor).

For example at the top of each form,

<div>
<input name=”frm_action” value=”create” type=”hidden”><br>
<input name=”form_id” value=”10″ type=”hidden”><br>
<input name=”form_key” value=”84vtg3″ type=”hidden”><p></p>

I have tried the recommended solution (using the [raw][formidable=id][/raw]) without success.

Of course, I can paste the long-code form into the page or widget, but I’m losing all the form-specific CSS formatting I’ve configured for the form. This is the case even when I have the “use Formidable styling for this form” check-box selected.

How can I remove these breaks and paragraphs and retain my Formidable form-specific styling?

Thanks for your help!

Does your theme support the Raw function? You may need the assistance of a plugin or code it in your functions file.

Robert, thanks for the reply. You got me thinking (dangerous). So, I installed the "raw html" plugin and was able to remove those nasty paragraphs successfully in my post/pages. BUT, it didn't help me with the line breaks in the widgets UNTIL ...wait for it....

I "deselected" the "automatically add paragraphs" check box in the text widget. SERIOUSLY!

That was a ridiculously painful lesson to learn. I'm sure glad this day is almost over.

Thanks,

Bryan
