create multiple links for the different previous step pages.

    I have a 8 step form, and right now the only way to go to previous pages is the previous button. Id like to put at the top of the form links for the previous steps that have already been completed. So if your on step 7 and want to go back to step 3, you can click on 3 instead of having to hit previous 4 times. If you try going to the website address for the 3rd page, it says to fill out the previous page, even though the information is already saved for that form. I know how to create the icons at the top of the page, but not how to create the links for it. The example of what I want to do is at https://komconsultants.com/apply/form/.

    I’m turning a hand coded form that takes a lot of time to make changes to it, and turning it into a Contact Form 7 form, and I’ve now got everything else working. So you can switch between sections you’ve already filled in, but can never go past where you’ve already been.

    You should be able to just visit the URL of a previous step. It works on the example here

    You may want to see if disabling cache for the pages helps.

    I have the cache permanently turned off for the developer site, and on the live site the cache is turned off for the current application form. The current one on the live site has been worked on by 2 different developers, and contains a lot of inefficient code, so that’s why I decided to switch to CF7.

    The developer site for the forms starts on step 1 at https://kom.capprogramming.com/apply/contact1/ and goes up to step 8 at https://kom.capprogramming.com/apply/contact8/. If I work my way to step 8 filling everything in, then go to https://kom.capprogramming.com/apply/contact2/, I get that error message. I’m using the Pro version of the plugin, and can see everything is correctly there in the session storage, which I have at https://pastebin.com/iRUvJVzw. But using the previous and next buttons everything works fine.

    I can see that it does work correctly on your demo site, and I can’t figure out what’s different between yours and mine.

    Here’s the code from step 2 as an example:

    <label><span class="req">*</span>Do you currently have a Visa or applying for one?</label>[radio has_visa id:has_visa "Yes" "No"]
[group visa inline]
<label for="has_australian_visa"><span class="req">*</span>Do you have a current study visa for Australia / UK?</label>[radio has_australian_visa id:has_australian_visa "Yes" "No"]
<br><label for="has_other_visa"><span class="req">*</span>Are you currently applying for another type of visa to Australia / UK?</label>[radio has_other_visa id:has_other_visa "Yes" "No"]
[/group]

<label for="visa_country">Which country are you applying for a visa from? </label>[text visa_country id:visa_country]

<label><span class="req">*</span>Have you ever had a travel/student Visa rejected?</label>[radio had_visa_rejected id:had_visa_rejected "Yes" "No"]
<div class="field-instructions"><strong>Note:</strong> If Yes, please contact KOM’s Admissions team to provide details.</div>

<label for="requires_disability_support"><span class="req">*</span>Do you require disability support?</label>[radio requires_disability_support id:requires_disability_support "Yes" "No"]
<div class="field-instructions"><strong>Note:</strong> If you have a disability which may affect your learning (e.g vision,

<label for="has_been_excluded"><span class="req">*</span>Have you ever been excluded from previous study?</label>[radio has_been_excluded id:has_been_excluded "Yes" "No"]
<div class="field-instructions"><strong>Note:</strong> If Yes, please contact KOM’s Admissions team to provide details.</div>

    Could you give me access to the pages? I get an error saying:
    Sorry, your request cannot be accepted.

    Since you have the Pro version, please go to your plugins page and click on the Contact link below the plugin’s name. I can assist you better if I can take a look at the forms.
