Update 6.0 is a disaster

  • Firstly it was a bad idea to lose backward compatibility.
    Secondly there doesn’t seem to be any way to adjust the appearance of the fields – they stretch too far across.
    Thirdly there doesn’t seem to be captcha anymore.

    Luckily uninstalling 6.0 and then reinstalling the previous version recovered my form with all its proper formatting.

  • Also, all previously submitted forms have disappeared when using v6. I mean, come on. No other option than going back to v5.

    A little warning in the WP Admin would have been appreciated.

    Last time this happened to me, I had to create all the forms again I didn’t realize it was due to it upgrading.

    Alienne can you advise if I need to completely remove plugin 6 and then install the previous version

    Where do I get the previous version from?

    Thanks

    Delete the new version, then install the older version – the link was provided by the author:
    https://downloads.www.ads-software.com/plugin/custom-contact-forms.5.1.0.4.zip

    The old forms are still there and come back once the old version is installed.

    Thank you, Alienne. I asked this very question elsewhere. I will give this a try in the morning.

    I will still look for a different plugin to use long term, but if this quick fix works, at least I can have the forms up and running again while I search for a permanent solution.

    Thanks Alienne! I downgraded with the link you provided and everything is fine now. As a side note to anyone else downgrading… After I upgraded my forms disappeared. It asked me to convert the plug in (or ignore), which I accepted. After downgrading, because I did the conversion, inside my posts the [contactform=19] thing was changed to something like [css523=23] and I’d have to change it all back to its original code.
