Checkboxes Not Sending Values

  • We have used VFB for quite some time now. I noticed recently that there was an issue May 5 of this year but the plugin is back now in the WP Plugin Library, however Checkboxes are not sending data.

    If a checkbox field is Required (as it is in some of our forms) then of course the form cannot be sent. Additionally the error message appears as HTML code like so:

    <h1>Choose a fruit</h1><br>This field is required and cannot be empty.

    If the checkbox field is not required, then the checked box(es) simply do not send any data. I have checked on 2 browsers, I have an old install of VFB 3.0.9 on the site linked above and also installed a fresh copy of VFB 3.0.9 in a different domain on the same server and had the same issue. I also installed VFB 3.0.9 on a server at a different hosting platform that uses a different PHP version and had the same issue. All 3 WordPress installations tested use WP 5.9.3.

    In case it helps, the verification field is also displayed in it’s box with HTML code showing:

    Logged in as <a href="https://mediaservices1.com/corp/wp-admin/profile.php">AdminNameHere</a>. Verification not required.

    Please advise.

    Following up here, is there a solution for checkboxes not passing data from the form yet? I switched our checkboxes to text fields allowing visitors to type free hand responses, but checkboxes are much better suited in our use case.

    Greetings VFB Support team. As of today I have seen two others post to this thread with the same issue, to which you rightly pointed them to your FAQ about creating their own topic. I am however, wondering when I may get a reply? In 3 weeks a simple, “we’re looking into this” would be nice. This issue was submitted 3 weeks, 1 day ago.

    Have I possibly missed a non-automated email notifying me that you guys are on this?

    I posted those. I am a forum moderator and not in any way associated with this plugin.
