Form displaying Twice

    was working to build a plugin to display forms, because I want to prefill logged in user data.

    All I have now is super basic 

    function myplugin_forms_func() {
	
	$html = '';
		
	$args = array(
		'honeypot' => true,
	);
	
	$connectForm = advanced_form( 'form_ID', $args );
	
	
	$html .= '
		<div class="connect-form">'
				. $connectForm .
		'</div>';

	return $html;
}

add_shortcode('myplugin_forms', 'myplugin_forms_func');

    When I run the shortcode [myplugin_forms] it displays the form where it should be displayed and also at the top of the page as the first item.

    Am I missing something?

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

    I am getting this warning when debug is on

    “Warning: session_start(): Cannot start session when headers already sent in /homepages/16/d612443574/htdocs/myTheme/wp-content/plugins/advanced-forms/api/api-submissions.php on line 39”

    Hi, Nathan!

    The advanced_form function by default echoes the form contents out. What you want to do is to stop this echoing, something like this:

    
function myplugin_forms_func() {
	
	$html = '';
		
	$args = array(
		'honeypot' => true,
                'echo' => false,
	);
	
        $connectForm = advanced_form( 'form_ID', $args );
	
	$html .= '
		<div class="connect-form">'
				. $connectForm .
		'</div>';

	return $html;
}

add_shortcode('myplugin_forms', 'myplugin_forms_func');

    I think this is probably also the issue causing your second warning!

    I was just thinking about it and realized I didn’t check what the call returned.

    Just assumed it was html – absolutely my fault.
    I’ll knock it out tomorrow.

    Thanks for the quick response!

    Edit – just added the line with my phone: worked like a charm. Thanks.
