I have the date picker selected on my form but when I posted it the date picker is not selected and I can’t use the calendar. It’s not showing at all. Please see screenshots attached.

Here is the Form:

> **[Hire Us 2 – Staffitall](https://staffitall.com/hire-us-2/)**

Hi Norris. The datepicker scripts changed significantly in Gravity Forms 3.0, so if you had any customizations or integrations with the old datepicker, those are likely in conflict with the new datepicker and could be causing the datepicker not to show.

If you know of any third-party plugins that are integrated with the date field or datepicker, try disabling them. If not, please check your site (in the theme functions.php or a code snippets plugin) for the use of the `gform_datepicker_options_pre_init` filter. If you’re using that, it will need to be updated to the new script for 3.0+:

> **[gform/datepicker/pre\_init](https://docs.gravityforms.com/gform-datepicker-pre_init/)**
>
> This article explains how to use the gform/datepicker/pre\_init filter to modify the options used to initialize a field's datepicker before it is rendered.

If you’re not able to find out what the conflict is, please open a support ticket here:

Thank you.

this is a fresh install of Gravity Forms. I was using Everest Forms before this but I switched to Gravity Forms because I’m trying to add a funnel system to the form. Would my old form cause any conflicts?
