Any Form Response collapses Content

  • Hi,
    first at all: Very good plugin. It solved me a ton of times! Many thanks.

    I use this plugin in a Bridge WordPress theme. Everything works fine, but there’s an annoying thing.

    Bridge uses for a smooth anchor functionality jquery (or so…).

    The form action created by this plugin adds to the current page url a string beginning with an hash, which could be misunderstood as an anchor (e.g. /pagename/#es_form_f1-p7758-n1).

    Bridge seems to be confused when the page is reloaded after sending the form. Bridge interprets the url as an anchor and messes up the content area. The Content is then somewhere above the screen canvas and not viewable.

    For a fix solution i cutted the additional string away from the form action in file class-es-shortcode.php in line 290. After testing i can admid, all form actions work like intended, but is it a good way to solve the problem in this manner? Are there any security flaws when leaving the string out of the post action? Can you provide a better solution?

    Best, wp-teo

    Hi there,

    Thanks for your appreciation. Glad to hear that the Email Subscribers plugin is helpful to you.

    Related to the issue which you are currently facing, there won’t be any security-related issue if the form action string is modified, but you may need to add these changes again into the plugin when you will update the plugin. Therefore generally making changes into the core plugin files isn’t recommended.

    Can you please provide us the URL of the page, where you are facing this issue? We will check the issue on your site. It will help us in understanding the issue better and providing you a better solution.

    Let us know if you have any further queries.

    Thank you.
