Entering ‘https://’ in any text field throws ‘Forbidden’ error on clean install

    I can reproduce the following potential bug on a sample contact form on the latest version of WordPress/caldera forms and the twentyseventeen theme.

    Whenever I include the string ‘https://’ in part of a text or textarea input field the form does not submit and gives the following error page:

    “You don’t have permission to access / on this server.
    Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.”

    In my custom theme using the Post to Type processor it inserts a new form below the current form via ajax and points to an error with jquery-baldrick.js

    No errors show up in my debug.log with wp-debug activated.

    Does anybody else have this problem and is there a workaround/fix?

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Update: I tried the same on another theme and now get a more specific javascript error:

    “Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property ‘data’ of undefined
    at Object.error (ajax-core.min.js?ver=1.5.5:1)
    at Object.request_error (jquery-baldrick.min.js?ver=1.5.5:1)
    at c (jquery-baldrick.min.js?ver=1.5.5:1)
    at Object.error (jquery-baldrick.min.js?ver=1.5.5:1)
    at i (jquery.js?ver=1.12.4:2)
    at Object.fireWith [as rejectWith] (jquery.js?ver=1.12.4:2)
    at y (jquery.js?ver=1.12.4:4)
    at XMLHttpRequest.c (jquery.js?ver=1.12.4:4)”

    Appears caldera cannot correctly validate entries with ‘https://’ in it?

    Hi bsieders,

    Thanks for using Caldera Forms, it means a lot to us.

    Thanks for taking the time to give us such a detailed report. If I could ask you to do one more thing – it’s tough for us to help with this one on this platform. If you could open a bug report following the template in its entirety here: https://github.com/CalderaWP/Caldera-Forms/issues/new, with all of the information you included, you will put this bug into our workflow. You will also be able to track our progress on resolving it, or get additional information if it was not a bug.

    Please note: the issue tracker is not a fast support channel. If you need an immediate workaround, you should open a ticket at calderaforms.com/support and we will take a faster look.

    And, I apologize about this. I promise we’ll take a look at when we can.
