Optin Form Appearing Twice on Same Page

    This plugin is so awesome, I almost feel bad for starting a support thread in case it reflects in the stats but here goes.

    I’m using this plugin alongside the ImpleCode product catalog plugin available here, which allows a short product description (shown on the catalog page) plus a long description (shown on the individual product page). This is where we run into the problem: the form appears twice on the individual product page, once under the short description and once under the long one.

    Is there a way to exclude it from the short description, which is probably a custom meta box/field?

  • Hi The Barefoot Bookworm,

    thanks for the compliment and feel free to ask for support ??

    I am not familiar with the ImpleCode plugin, but it sounds as they are treating both the short and long description as “content”. Optin Forms simply hooks into WordPress’ content to add an optin form to it.

    The easiest solution is to set a display:none CSS value for the optin form in the short description.

    Can you show me a product page where two optin forms are loaded, so I can send you some Custom CSS you can add to your optin form?

    Let me know!

    Thanks, Boris, that would be awesome! ??

    Here’s the link to that page:

    A side question: does display:none have any impact on SEO?

    Add the following code to your Custom CSS field, located under Form Options in Optin Forms:

    .shortdesc #optinforms-form5-container{display:none;}

    Click Save and the first form will not be displayed.

    Let me know if all if good now ??

    Answer to your question:

    With many websites using jQuery sliders, galleries, toggle scripts, tickers etc. which often use display:none to hide and show content, search engines are clever enough not to penalize you for the use of display:none property.

    You will be perfectly fine, as long as you don’t stuff the hidden content with irrelevant keywords with the sole purpose to trick the search engines.
