Done.

I see the templates listed in the above output. However, they were not in the “templates” directory when I refreshed after running the database check.

Are you able to download .csv files? If that fails also then the problem is probably file permissions.

Is there a link to do that in wp-admin somewhere?

If you go into the form, then under ‘submission data’, there is a link to download all of the submissions as a .csv file.

I clicked the link, and immediately another link appeared below. When I hovered over that link the url ended with Failed to open file:”

Alright. That means the plugin can’t write files to your server. As far as I know the only way to fix that is to change the folder permissions for /tmp and /templates, and this would be in your host’s control panel.

So… first step changed permissions on tmp and templates directories.

they started at rwx r_x r_x

i changed to rwx rwx r_x to see if adding group write permissions would do it…

that didn’t work.

I then changed it to rwx rwx rwx and it worked, but I don’t understand why a plugin can’t write to a directory it created….??

Could it be a permissions issue or ownership issue with users/groups?

I don’t know. I’ll have to dig and see how wordpress itself gets to write files, since in theory the plugin is just wordpress.

I changed the way files are created for 1.5.18 which may fix your problem.

I upgraded, but they still didn’t show up. My assumption is that the problem is in some of the default permissions set by the host. I really don’t like setting directories wide open – in general, a bad security practice – so I’m fine with re-installing my custom templates for now.

Hello, I am but a poor but mostly happy wordpress user. I really like the scope of this plugin. However, I have been having issues with emailing the form back to me in my testing phase of using the plugin. I use wp-mail-smtp to send my mail and when I that particular plug in It works every time. When it comes to this plugin sending email it works only 30 to 40 percent of the time. I ran my form 9 times the other day two of the time from a different machine and I only got 4 of the 9 emails. what could be the issue? thank you in advance?

This is something I have yet to pin down. The code in my plugin is about as simple as it gets for sending mail, so I’m not sure what is causing it to fail some of the time. Sorry I can’t be of more help on this.

HELP…

I’m using this shortcode but the item nicknamed email is still showing up.

[formdata form-1 hide=”email”]

…also I need to hide the ip address in the submissions data.
Many Thanks in advance.

This is a major oversight on my part. The ‘hide’ only works for table output.. I’ll have something by the end of the week.
