Hubspot form disappearing

SOLVE

Hi community,

 

I had 2 Hubspot forms on my website and they were working just fine for a few days. Yesterday they disappear from the site and it has caused trouble for people wanting to contact us. I've checked the form settings and there's nothing weird about them. What are the reasons and how could I fix it?

Hi @FinestNinja 

There are quite a few reasons a form could stop showing on a page. Here are some things to look at:

 

  • Check your form embed code is still correct.
  • Check if your forms are loading when viewing the site in another browser. Sometimes browser extensions or ad blockers can prevent forms from loading.
  • Make sure javascript is enabled in your browser.
  • Check if your website is showing any javascript errors (in the browser console), such errors can sometimes block Hubspot forms from loading properly.
  • Look at your page source code (CTRL+U and search, CTRL+F, for <form ) and check if you can the form code in your page's code. This might help you figure out if the form is being hidden with CSS or something similar.

If you can share a URL of a page with this issue I can take a look and see if I can see what the problem is.

Hi

 

Thanks. Yes, I don't see the code appearing on the page, so I'm wondering if Avia Layout Architect is stripping it out. Are you placing the embed code in a text block element or code block within the layout editor? I found this article that discusses using a code block for embed codes in the Avia Layout builder (this video might help too). If it isn't already try placing the embed code in a code block in your page.

As you can see it is and allways was embeded in a code block. That´s really strange...

that´s why we are wondering about why it suddenly happened like this.

Hi @MCuzmaCépeda 
That is strange. That code is definitely not being output to the page

It looks like this could be an issue with the layout editor/theme. It's probably worth reaching out to the theme developers to see if they can help troubleshoot this.

Hi @MCuzmaCépeda 

Could you

 

  1. Temporarily disable the HubSpot WordPress and WP Optimize plugins
  2. Put that form embed code in to your page
  3. Let me know how you embedded the form i.e. in legacy/Gutenberg editor, in which kind of block.
  4. Share the page you embedded the form on and where on the page the form should appear?

Hey Matthew,

 

we are having the same issue. Our Forms dissapears 3 days ago and nobody changed a line of code.

Could you please have a look at https://monikacuzmacepeda.com/netzwerktreffen/

The problem is in chrom, safari, iphone, different IP´s and Laptops. 

We can see the code in the backend and checked it again. The Chat-Support could not help.

Java should also be fine.

 

Hope you can help.

 

Tx 😉

Hi @MCuzmaCépeda 

I took a quick look and didn't see any obvious issues that would cause this. I see the form script on your page but that isn't rendering a form. A few questions and suggestions:

 

  • How are you embedding the form in WordPress i.e. using a shortcode or the full embed code?
  • If you are using the HubSpot Worpdress plugin to embed the form have you tried just using the full embed code?
  • I see you are using a caching plugin, maybe WP Optimize, can you try purging the plugin's cache?
  • I see you are using a Cookie control plugin. Have any changes been made in your Cookie control settings?

Hi Matthew,

 

thanks a lot for checking our page.

I´ll answer in your text.

 

  • How are you embedding the form in WordPress i.e. using a shortcode or the full embed code? - the full embed code ... but after the form dissapeared we also tried the shortcode and changed it back to the full embeded code.
  • If you are using the HubSpot Worpdress plugin to embed the form have you tried just using the full embed code? - yes we are using the HubSpot WP Plugin and did so. The form worked for many weeks/months and suddenly it dissapeared without any changes.
  • I see you are using a caching plugin, maybe WP Optimize, can you try purging the plugin's cache? - we have already done it but unfortunately without success.
  • I see you are using a Cookie control plugin. Have any changes been made in your Cookie control settings? - we didn´t change the cookie control.

Also: Everything is updated ... WP, Licence, Plugins

Hi @MCuzmaCépeda 
I'm seeing differences between the form creation code inserted into your site via the HubSpot WordPress plugin compared to a fresh install I did on a test site. Here's what my test code looks like:

 

 

			<!-- DO NOT COPY THIS SNIPPET! Start of Page Analytics Tracking for HubSpot WordPress plugin v8.0.227-->
			<script type="text/javascript">
				var _hsq = _hsq || [];
				_hsq.push(["setContentType", "standard-page"]);
			</script>
			<!-- DO NOT COPY THIS SNIPPET! End of Page Analytics Tracking for HubSpot WordPress plugin -->
						<script>
				(function() {
					var hbspt = window.hbspt = window.hbspt || {};
					hbspt.forms = hbspt.forms || {};
					hbspt._wpFormsQueue = [];
					hbspt.enqueueForm = function(formDef) {
						if (hbspt.forms && hbspt.forms.create) {
							hbspt.forms.create(formDef);
						} else {
							hbspt._wpFormsQueue.push(formDef);
						}
					}
					if (!window.hbspt.forms.create) {
						Object.defineProperty(window.hbspt.forms, 'create', {
							configurable: true,
							get: function() {
								return hbspt._wpCreateForm;
							},
							set: function(value) {
								hbspt._wpCreateForm = value;
								while (hbspt._wpFormsQueue.length) {
									var formDef = hbspt._wpFormsQueue.shift();
									if (!document.currentScript) {
										var formScriptId = 'leadin-forms-v2-js';
										hubspot.utils.currentScript = document.getElementById(formScriptId);
									}
									hbspt._wpCreateForm.call(hbspt.forms, formDef);
								}
							},
						});
					}
				})();
			</script>

 

 


Your form script code looks like this

 

 

 <script type="text/javascript">var _hsq=_hsq||[];_hsq.push(["setContentType","standard-page"])</script>  <script>(function(){var hbspt=window.hbspt=window.hbspt||{};hbspt.forms=hbspt.forms||{};hbspt._wpFormsQueue=[];hbspt.enqueueForm=function(formDef){if(hbspt.forms&&hbspt.forms.create){hbspt.forms.create(formDef)}else{hbspt._wpFormsQueue.push(formDef)}}
if(!window.hbspt.forms.create){Object.defineProperty(window.hbspt.forms,'create',{configurable:!0,get:function(){return hbspt._wpCreateForm},set:function(value){hbspt._wpCreateForm=value;while(hbspt._wpFormsQueue.length){var formDef=hbspt._wpFormsQueue.shift();if(!document.currentScript){var formScriptId='leadin-forms-v2-js';hubspot.utils.currentScript=document.getElementById(formScriptId)}
hbspt._wpCreateForm.call(hbspt.forms,formDef)}},})}})()</script>

 

 


Running through the code I see some pieces of the code missing. If you have recently updated your HubSpot plugin, my next guess is that the WP-Optimize plugin is altering your code. If you can, I would suggest disabling HTML / Javascript minification and/or disabling the plugin to see if that is causing the issue (on a test site if possible). Also, on https://monikacuzmacepeda.com/netzwerktreffen, I don't see the actual form embed code which would look something like this:

 

 

					<script>
						hbspt.enqueueForm({
							portalId: 12345678,
							formId: "a30ce37e-a1a6-4b29-a896-189ec1d23553",
							target: "#hbspt-form-1623230060000-1779843313",
							shortcode: "wp",
							
						});
					</script>
					<div class="hbspt-form" id="hbspt-form-1623230060000-1779843313"></div>

 

 


If you have embedded that code in this page then something must be stripping that out also. Again WP-Optimize could be the culprit, but if not, I would suggest checking for conflicting plugins. Recent updates to other plugins can sometimes cause conflicts and unexpected behaviour.

Hey Matthew,

 

thanks for your reply. Unforunately nothings helps. I deactivated every single Plugin but still the same problem.

The first picture shows the code from HubSpot Backend.

The second one shows the code we put in our instllation. They are the same and once again nobody changed a line the last few months.

It was okay for months and suddenly the form dissapeared.

A mystery.

Hi, we are having the exact same issue site-wide right now. All of our contact forms show up then they disappear immediately. One example with our Contact Us page - https://www.robomq.io/about-us/#contact

 

I have followed all of these steps here you have shared, but these don't seem to be the issue.

Hi @E32crew 

Your Hubspot contact form is displaying and stays on the page for me. I did notice that you have a few javascript errors, including what looks like an unpublished Google Tag Manager container and two copies of your Google Tag Manager script on one page.

Thank you, I see it is working now. Our team worked behind the scenes on it and did mention that some of the HubSpot Form Iframe CSS property was not working for Chrome browser so they were able to add it manually. 

 

I will also forward this info to them as well.

The form looks fine with the share link: https://share.hsforms.com/1HhVvj9UfRRyIy3yWFljAtw4o9bp

 

The form included in WordPress 5.4.2 as below:

[hubspot type=form portal=7850293 id=d98ae05f-d6a8-450e-a385-155f4f72b25d]

 

Causes the page to load then disappear as shown on this quick video:   https://www.dropbox.com/s/xb3vzyf2hw1u2s7/hubspot-form-dissapears.webm?dl=0

I want to keep from including the page as an iframe.  I wonder if that's my only option at this point?
