pdb_signup not completing – session management problem?

  • I am observing the symptoms described under “Use Alternate Session Method” when sessions aren’t working properly. Specifically a user can successfully create a record via [pdb_signup] shortcode a few times but then stops being able to create new records. I use the [pdb_signup] with an action attribute “action=view-speaking-line”

    When the user logs in with a different browser (different set of cookies), they again are able to create a few records and then they stop being able to do so.

    I am running Version 1.9.5.13

    When this problem manifests it is also the case that the default values for fields are not being filled in when first arriving at the page to create the record (where the [pdb_signup] shortcode is located. When the system is behaving, these are properly initialized.

    I am using some hidden fields that are initialized with current_user fields

    additional info: I have used the setting on the “advanced” panel to use the alternate session mechanism, but this only appeared to help. After a short while, the behavior manifest itself again.

    I think I was bitten by page caching. I set the HTTP header “Cache-Control: no-store” and my problem seems to have cleared up.
