   Firstly, loving the new version!

   Ok now the question. How do I prevent the page title and description from appearing at the top of every page of my form? In the edit mode everything looks great with the page breaks and the contents but when viewed the description is there at the top of every page, normally I wouldn't mind but the description is an introduction letter and instructions on how to fill the form out. so it's quite wordy. Is it possible to remove it from showing at the top of every page or is there a work-around?

   Any ideas?

   You can simply edit the theme of your form and put this code below into the advanced section of your theme:

   #main_body .form_description{
     display: none !important;
   }

   this should hide the form title and description.

   Ooops!

   Maybe I didn't explain myself correctly. I would like the the form title/descrition to appear on the first page but not the others.

   #main_body .form_description{
   display: none !important;
   }

   This removes it completely form the all pages.

   Ah.. I see. This is possible through some PHP modification.
   Edit the "includes/view-functions.php" file, search around line 4458-4462 for this block of code:

   if(empty($mf_settings['disable_machform_link'])){
   	$powered_by_markup = 'Powered by <a href="http://www.appnitro.com" target="_blank">MachForm</a>';
   }else{
   	$powered_by_markup = '';
   }

   exactly below that block of code, add this code:

   if($page_number > 1){
   	$form_desc_div = '';
   }

   that should do it.

   Yuniar, first off, thanks for the above tip. We've got a similar requirement - the description should not show up on all but the first page. The above code will hide the entire form description div, which includes the title as well. Wondering how do I go about getting rid of only the form description from the all pages other than the first one, but keep the form title on all pages?
   Thanks!

   bjose -- you can edit the same file, search around line 4841 for this code:

   if(!empty($form->name) || !empty($form->description)){
       $form->description = nl2br($form->description);

   change it to become:

   if(!empty($form->name) || !empty($form->description)){
       $form->description = nl2br($form->description);
       if($page_number > 1){
           $form->description = '';
        }

    1 more questions on this topic, how and where do I edit the description for each page? I have a multi-page form, and I'd like to make the page description text bold and a different size, but leave the actual page numbers the same.

    Thanks,

    Hi.
    If you go to the beginning of your form in the form editor you will find the pagination (showing pages 1 to 10 for example) section under your form title and description field. If you click this area, just to the right in the fields editor you'll find the pagination header style panel appear, just under that you can edit the page titles. The text will automatically bold when in the viewable form for each page so you know which page you are viewing in your form.
    As for changing the font size and "pre-bolding" the text this might be possible in the Theme editor for your form, I'm not sure, hope this helps.

    hi there

    I would like the the form title/descrition to appear on the first page but not the others - i've seen the instructions for 3.3 where you edit the

    "includes/view-functions.php" file,

    However it doesn't seem to work for version 3.4? it generates an error and it is impossible to save the form.

    any ideas?

    thanks in advance

    Julie -- you can try edit the "includes/view-functions.php" file. Search around line 4593 for this code:

    if(!$has_guidelines){
    	$container_class .= " no_guidelines";
    }

    right below that block of code, add this code:

    if($page_number != 1){
    	$form_desc_div = '';
    }

    that should do it.
