Custom Field error for Front-End Form

Good Evening Nithin,

I hope all is well, firstly thank you so much for the code above. I am currently testing it on my site using the 30 mins limitation as outlined above. The code works great on limiting the post submissions however, the form is not reappear after the 30 mins has past?
I have doubled checked the MU plugin twice and can’t seem to find why it won’t reappear once the limit is up?

Hi @dailymay

We made some tests on our lab site and I can see it works fine after the defined limit.

But we noticed some code tag was appended in the SQL query when we pasted it on this forum.

Could you try this updated version?

Good Patrick,

Thank you for getting back to me with an update, much appreciated.

I have noticed when testing the original code the form lifespan was set to a limit of 5, which I accidentally missed, I have now amended this to be ‘None”.

I’ve updated the MU-Plugin and tested the updated version, unfortunately the form no-longer limits to 5 submissions per IP, it is allowing an unlimited amount like the default forms setting?

Could I be missing a step?

Hello @dailymay !

Please also check if the time limit is set correctly in your snippet where the $future_time is being defined, maybe that’s the issue here.

Kind regards,
Pawel

Hi Pawel,

Thank you for getting back to me, much appreciated. I think I may have located the problem, it seems to be with the this Mu-Plugin code https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/delete-uploaded-files-after-they-are-attached-to-the-admin-email/

In the MU-Plugins folder I have a ‘delete-upload-file-after-email’ plugin which I found via the link above. I am trying to delete file uploads for form ID ‘22155’ after an email has been sent, as I do not want uploads saving in the wp-content folder.
However, the code/plugin seems to cause an error in all the forms? When I have deleted the delete-upload-file-after-email the above codes work just fine?

I am using the following code: https://pastebin.com/wwJKUv1w I am just wondering do I need to create a new folder for the uploads to be saved before the plugin can be deleted and if there was any documentation on the Forminator side on how to set this up. I’m hoping the correct installation of the ‘delete uploads plugin’ may resolve the issue.

Update:

I have managed to fix issue with the upload delete after email code, I have swapped it out for this one https://gist.github.com/wpmudev-sls/7a32dc5407324cc902f8b9ad8970ef62 which works perfect but for the Limit submissions by IP (https://gist.github.com/patrickfreitasdev/c439fa45eaa9ed79849770fe350c2463), I am still getting the following Error message below.

Update:

The error message I get is `Notice: is_embed was called incorrectly. Conditional query tags do not work before the query is run. Before then, they always return false. Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information. Line 5768

Hello @dailymay !

I’ve checked the snippet on my test site – after adding it and setting it up it worked correctly on the first attempt, without any issues.

The notice actually doesn’t seem to be related to this issue (I’m not getting it as well) and I think PHP will be able to handle that anyway (hence the “notice” level, which is the lowest one).

As I wasn’t able to replicate this, we may have to take a closer look here. Can you share a link to the form on the site and also share the exact code you’re using if it’s different than the snippet shared earlier (ie. if anything else was changed besides the form’s ID in one of the first lines).

We understand that you may not want to publicly share those kinds of details – if that’s the case, please feel free to send us an email through our contact form instead:

Please use the template below:

Subject: “Attn: Pawel”

Message template:

– Link to the page with the form
– Link to the code you're using
– Link back to this thread for reference (ex. https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/ticket-title/)
– Any other relevant URLs/info

To ensure we don’t miss this please let us know here once you’ve submitted the form.

Kind regards,

Hi Pawel, Thank you for the link. I will also have to create a temporary login as the form is protected behind a membership wall.

I will send over the details shortly.

Thank you again.

Hi Pawel,

I hope all is well, I was wondering if support was able to login successful to the site and locate the issue as I have not heard any back?

Hi @dailymay

I hope you are doing well.

We replied to your email and we are going to follow-up from there,

Best Regards
