    Hi

    Ive used to plugin to create a form for my son’s cricket team when they are trying to register for this season. It worked perfectly on a few days ago, but now users are getting

    Nonce Validation failed!

    I was wondering how I can fix this.

    Thanks

    Andy

    Nonce Validation failed! for results page using latest version. Had to restore a back-up to 7.3.7 to work again.

    Hi Passo Leaty,

    Can you please provide the given details so we will check and help you to fix the issue.
    1. Log of your web server error log.

    2. Enable WP_DEBUG and log that output to a file and share that file. You can refer to this article for more help: https://www.ads-software.com/support/article/debugging-in-wordpress/

    3. Create and post a link to phpinfo(); output

    People taking our quiz on a MAC are getting the Nonce Validation failed! message. We’re currently running 7.3.12. We don’t have a lot of traffic, so I can’t say exactly with which version this problem stated to occur.

    Hi, We are experiencing the same problem and we noticed that it disappears when the cache is flushed. Maybe trying to exclude your quizzes from the cache may fix the issue.

    Hi AndyHalliday,

    Our team researched and found out that we cannot fix this issue without removing the WP Nonce from our code. We added the nonce in our codebase as it is recommended by WordPress coding standards. Removing the nonce from our code can make customer’s website vulnerable to potential security risks.

    You can prevent this issue by excluding quiz page from your cache.
    This issue happens because the submit nonce,which had expired, is still cached on webpage. WordPress nonce expires after 24 hours and till then it continues to serve old cached page.

    Do let me know if you still face the issue.

    Regards,
    Sumit
