Secret validation not working

    First of all, I love this form builder! I’ve tried a few and so far this one is great. But I am must learning it…

    I have a form in the works here:
    https://www.thenextsupergeek.com/challenge-new/

    For the “Secret” under verification, I named it “What is 5 + 7” and made it a required field. In “Validation” I tried entering 12 but that doesn’t work. The validation field is always greyed out.

    The Help at the top of the page says:
    “Visual Form Builder uses the jQuery Form Validation plugin to perform clientside form validation.”
    But the link is bad. Am I supposed to install this second plugin?? Where do I get it?

    Also in the Help, under Tips, it says:
    “Security verification is automatically included on very form. It’s a simple logic question and should keep out most, if not all, spam bots.”
    I don’t see this security question in my form. Do you? How are we supposed to configure it? If it is related to “Secret” what do we do with it??

    Where is the long-form documentation?

    Hello Lilgames,

    Thank you for your message. You should not need to add a second plugin. This sounds like an issue with your site or hosting configuration. Maybe even the install?

    Longform documentation can be found here: classic.vfbpro.com. I’d suggest a few things: Test for conflicts, check server and see if it meets minimum requirements PHP 5.4 or better is super important.

    Happy to help beyond that anyway we can.

    It seems to be working now, but the error log reports this:

    [25-Nov-2016 19:50:09 UTC] PHP Deprecated: Automatically populating $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA is deprecated and will be removed in a future version. To avoid this warning set ‘always_populate_raw_post_data’ to ‘-1’ in php.ini and use the php://input stream instead. in Unknown on line 0

    Might not be your plugin, but I think it is.
