Themed archive page worked, then it didn't

[seanvandermolen]

1. I original used the standard archive/page query which worked, then switched to the example on the website because I'm going to want to exclude a post by id. This worked.
   `

`

2. I then went to my test donation forms and there was a prompt asking me to upgrade two of them, which I did, then I added a goal because I wanted to customize the goal code. I also added the section // Output the goal to my archive template. At this point the archive stopped working an it went back to using the template/ iframe.

3. What is the purpose of using an iframe?

Well, I deleted the forms and recreated them without using the new form builder and it worked.

Is that the expected behavior?

The iframe is used to reduce conflicts with themes and other plugins. The general approach that we take is to embed Give donation forms into content.

As for adding donation forms to a page, we have included custom blocks which service this purpose, such as the Form Grid Block.

Thank you, that makes sense.
