• I don’t know how I did it but I managed to hide the ‘C:\fakepath\file’ thing when a user selects a file to be sent through the contact form. This is a bad idea because users wouldn’t know the file is selected. It shows for a different form but not on that one. Any idea what’s wrong?

    Much appreciated. Thanks.

  • Hi Flo, I had another look at the following forms in Firefox and Google Chrome and both forms work.

    1. Form 1
    2. Form 2

    Hey Manuel,

    Form 2 is the same as Form 1 (I mean old, untouched by me and working), it is only the form on the test page (https://inboxtranslation.com/test-page/) that is not working and I need it done.

    Flo

    Hi Flo this is very strange. Create a page and call it what ever you want. In that page add a default form and only add one extra field to attached a file. Another words this from should have only five fields.

    Lets see if this works.

    Kind regards

    Hi mbrsolution

    Just done that on the same https://inboxtranslation.com/test-page/ page, is this OK?

    Thanks,
    Flo

    Hi Flo, the reason why I mentioned another page because maybe your test-page is corrupted somehow. Can you create a page give a name”different name altogether” and only have the default fields plus an attachment field that is all. This will allow me to test whether my theory is right ??

    Thank you.

    Hi Flo, can you read the following URL and let me know if this is what you are doing when adding the field to the form.

    Kind regards

    Hi mbrsolution, I can’t see anything different than what I’m doing (apart from that being a slightly older version of FSCF)as I’ve been using this plugin for some time…

    Many thanks,
    Flo

    Hi Flo, what is the current Fast Secure Contact Form version you are using?

    It’s the older Version 4.0.18.

    Can you test a different theme like Twenty Thirteen or so from wordpress? What theme are you currently using? Can you also update to the latest version.

    Thank you

    I’m afraid I can’t change the theme as this is a live site (it’s a custom built one based on Genesis framework) and this shouldn’t affect it in any way as it works with other forms. Wouldn’t you agree?

    Flo

    Hi Flo, many times it is a theme that causes problems with a plugin or plugins. That is not to say that it is the themes fault as it could be the plugin that is coded incorrectly. However because you mentioned

    (it’s a custom built one based on Genesis framework)

    That lets me to believe that your theme could be causing this conflict on the attached field in your contact form.

    Have you got a testing site? It would be great if you did so that you could test this theory of mine.

    Kind regards

    I see what you mean but what about the other forms that work just fine? Wouldn’t the supposedly bad theme affect the others forms too?

    Thanks,
    Flo

    Yes I see what you mean. Did you create the other forms?
