Auto-populate today's date in Gravity Forms (using PinPoint Theme)

[TCAtexas]

Hi. The date on our donation page used to auto-fill with the current date, today’s date. Something made it stop. Gravity-Forms support said to enter the following code in my theme’s php file, but I do not know where to enter it or even if I should. I typically do not mess with the theme files without specific instructions. Is there an easier way to make the date auto-populate? Or, will you let me know where exactly to place the code to make it work? Thank-you for your assistance.

Code offered by gravity forms – Note* – they said to change the “10/10/2010”; in the example with return date(‘m-d-Y’)

<?php
add_filter(“gform_field_value_date”, “populate_date”);
function populate_date($value){
return “10/10/2010”;
}
?>

Thank you! I see that the date field does auto-populate now. However, the date appears to be ahead by one day (or maybe just a few hours). I say that because when I checked in the morning the date was correct (4/01), but now in the evening/night it is displaying “tomorrow” or 4/02. My (current) local time is 2130 hours, or 9:30 pm CST; so, it’s still April 1.

On a side note, is there a tip on making the entry boxes less wide? They are so wide that it seems to push the year field onto a second line. That’s not so important, and it can wait; but, if there is a quick fix for that, I’m willing to learn.

Thanks again for your speedy support! It is very much appreciated.

Hi,
Please contact at plugin support about date issue. Use this custom css code:-

#field_2_3 .gfield_label{width:22% !important;}

Thanks
