Tessa –

Thank you so much for this.

Do I paste this in my child-theme functions.php or archive.php?

Also, let’s say I need to do this for multiple fields called release, artist, and dropbox (url to a dropbox folder). Do I add those other fields in like this below, or is there a larger section I need to repeat for each field?

… array( 'field' => 'release','artist','dropbox',

I also saw similar steps like this I could follow to pass variables through the cf7 shortcode to form fields at this link below. This also seems very useful, though I’m curious if these scripts conflict at all, and also where to drop in the additional field names.

Again, thanks so much for the reply and I’ll let you know how it goes.

I had this problem too but it was solved when I added a SMTP validator plugin. There’s a few available. I chose Postman SMTP because it says it’s tested with the latest WP version. https://postmansmtp.com/

I solved it!

I deactivated all my plugins one at a time on the staging site and realized the problem was “Contact Form DB.” I did not realize that is now a dead plugin, so I deleted it, replaced it with CFDB7, and now everything works.

Thank you for the reply.

The theme is my own child theme based on Fairy.

These are the plugins (** = inactive).

It turns out you can convert your reusable blocks to regular ones, but the option is not where it used to be.

First add your reusable block. Before you do anything else, click the outline icon on the top, then the name of your Reusable block where it is in the hierarchy. Next click the icon to the right of it that will say “convert to regular block” when you hover over it.

But even though you just converted it, you might not be done. There might be a hurdle you have to remove before publishing the page.

When you click publish, you might now see a set of checkboxes on the right with both the name of your post and the name of the reusable block. If you leave only the post checked, but not the block, you can’t publish. You can’t even just save draft without losing all of your changes.

If you check both boxes, it updates the block, but you know you don’t want to do that so now you wonder how to get out of this mess.

But… you can undo the option on the bottom right that says something like “always show publish checks.” Once you unselect that, now you can publish changes to your post without saving changes to the reusable block. And it should also work on any other post in the future.

Problem solved! I tried deactivating plugins I’m not using one by one until it worked. Shutting off WP-spamshield did the trick.

Update: I found the answer…

trans="total=multiply(units,unitCost)"

But I have another question. How do I make a summary table with the total of this calculation and the sum of another field? I thought this would be it but it didn’t work.

trans="total=multiply(units,unitCost)&&SumField(total,customer)&&SumField(units,customer)"

Just a troubleshooting update to my previous question.

I deactivated the free version, in case that caused any conflict, but then neither shortcode worked.

I then deactivated, deleted and re-uploaded the pro version but still have the same problems. Any help here would be greatly appreciated.
