To fix the error popup that appears when you build a WordPress theme using Webflow code export and include a form element created in Webflow, follow these steps:

Check for conflicting JavaScript: The error popup can occur due to conflicts between JavaScript codes in your WordPress theme and the Webflow-generated code. Inspect your theme's JavaScript files and remove any conflicting code that may be causing the issue.
Move the form element code: It's recommended to place the Webflow-generated form element code in the footer.php file of your WordPress theme. By doing so, the form element JavaScript code will load after all other scripts, reducing the chances of conflicts.
Import JavaScript files correctly: Ensure that you have properly imported the required JavaScript files in your WordPress theme. The Webflow-generated code relies on certain JavaScript plugins that need to be properly included for the form element to function correctly.
Check for HTML code errors: Review the Webflow-generated code for any HTML errors. Even a small syntax error can cause the form element to malfunction. Use a code editor or an online HTML validator to check for any inconsistencies in the HTML structure.
Test the form element in isolation: To identify any conflicting elements or scripts, test the form element in a blank HTML file outside of your WordPress theme. This will help isolate the issue and allow you to troubleshoot it more effectively.
Review the Webflow export settings: Go through the export settings in Webflow to make sure they are configured correctly. Pay particular attention to the form settings and ensure that they align with your specific requirements.
Seek help from Webflow support or community: If you've exhausted all troubleshooting options and the error persists, reach out to Webflow support or consult the Webflow community. They can provide further guidance or suggest alternative solutions based on your specific scenario.

By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error popup that appears when building a WordPress theme with a form element created in Webflow.
