href link in checkbox not working anymore after update

Yes, I have the same problem. Also mentioned in this ticket: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/3-6-10-label-field-sanitation-unable-to-include-html/

Yeah I saw your ticket after having created mine! Maybe I will downgrade the plugin

Yes, I’m having the same problem. It looks like HTML within labels is being ignored.

Same problem on all sites, please fix it soon

I contacted Ninja Forms support and this was the reply:

“I apologize for the inconvenience. Ninja Forms version 3.6.10 includes a security patch to prevent unwanted scripts from running on your forms, and unfortunately a consequence of this update is that HTML is no longer parsed in field labels. We’re working on a larger solution that would let you still place HTML in field labels while protecting you from malicious actors, and we hope to have this ready to implement soon. For now, you can continue to use version 3.6.9 while we complete that bigger solution.

I can’t promise what will be in the next version or when or under what circumstances HTML will be functional in labels again, but it’s an area of ongoing discussion with our development team, and we hope to have a solution ready to implement as soon as possible.

The 3.6.9 version of Ninja Forms core plugin can be downloaded at the bottom of this page: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/ninja-forms/advanced/”

I used the WP rollback plugin to re-install v3.6.9 and disabled auto updates for Ninja Forms.

Please, fix this. I was using an anchor tag to include a link to a privacy policy page in a checkbox field and now it’s no longer working.

Ok now! How is it possible that although I have deactivates automatic updateds, ninja forms just updates the plugin on my site???? I downgraded agaon and 5 minutes later the plugin is updated again to version 3.6.11 And also version 3.6.11 did not fix the problem.

I have auto-updates disabled as well and am stuck with version 3.6.11. Somebody please fix this ASAP! I need to stay with version 3.6.9 until this is fixed.

@tomathen – Supposedly adding the following to the functions.php file will prevent plugins from automatically updating:

add_filter( 'auto_update_plugin', '__return_false' );

I added that into my functions.php, so we’ll see what happens.

I’ve been using the following in my wp-config.php, which was preventing auto-updates (up until today):
define( 'WP_AUTO_UPDATE_CORE', false );

I hope that helps!

EDIT: WP Cron checks for updates every 12 hours, so I won’t know if the code I added to functions.php did the trick until tonight/tomorrow.

Wow. Took me a week and a half to notice how broken my form was.

Considering going to Wp Forms after this.

I’m sorry to hear you are experiencing this. Can you update your Ninja Forms plugins to their latest versions and let me know if you continue to have the same issues?

If you are still seeing the issue, can you contact our official support (https://ninjaforms.com/contact) so we can take a closer look at your issue?

When I updated to 3.6.12, none of my forms appeared anymore. I had to roll back. I made sure to remove maintenance mode, but that didn’t help.

Hi Justin, with 3.6.12 everything works fine again ??
Thank you!
