I was confused about this too then stumbled upon the solution so I thought I’d share…

Go into HTML view on any post or page. Just above the editor, in the top-right corner, you’ll see 3 buttons: theme, font size, fullscreen toggle. Click the theme button to cycle through different themes.

OK. I’ll dig around a bit and post a solution if I find one. I first have to understand what the Tabs plugin is doing.

Thanks for all the help and the amazingly fast and detailed responses! I don’t get this kind of support from premium plugins which cost hundreds of dollars per year. ??

To reset permalinks, set them to the default, then set them back to what you currently have it set to then try using the View Form link. If that doesn’t work, try using the default permalink setting to see if that helps.

This fixed the 404 issue. I can now see the form when viewing the CPT URL. A side question, is there any way to disable or block public access to these wpgforms URLs? It’s probably not a big deal since nothing on the public side will be linking to these CPT pages, but it would be nice to disable if possible.

As for my other issue, I think I’ve narrowed it down (but have yet to solve) to jQuery plugin that I’m using. On my site, I have this form nested inside a jQuery tab plugin (https://zozoui.com/tabs/). I’m really not sure of all the jQuery “magic” that this plugin uses to build its UI, but I know I had an issue embedding Google Maps inside this tab control.

I need to correct information from my first post. The HTML markup that I included in the first post was from inspecting the element through Chrome’s developer tools. However, when I actually view the source, I see that the entire content of the form is there where it should be. Does the Google Forms plugin do any manipulation to the markup through jQuery aside from hooking up jQuery validation? If not, then I’ll continue investigation on my own since the culprit may be the Zozo Tabs jQuery plugin.

If you bring the page up in the editor and view the post content (where you have the short code) toggle over to the HTML editor and see if the short code is wrapped in PRE tags.

On the page, everything has been edited in the HTML editor. No PRE tags exist. I use other shortcodes on other pages in the exact same manner and there’s no issue. Since I’m getting HTML markup generated from the Google Forms plugin, it appears that the shortcode is doing something.

Another you can do is view the form through the CPT URL – just like a post, after you publish the form, there is a “View Form” button to see it without having to us the shortcode.

When I click “View Google Form” from the CPT, it loads https://localhost/testsite/wpgforms/test-form/ but WordPress returns a 404 page.
