Hello again, @prashantrai.

Yes, I do have GDPR enabled.

I actually found a solution to the problem. I thought I would try to disable the different anti spam options to see if that made a difference. My settings included an option to enable an anti-spam honeypot. I read through some more documentation and learned this this option is only available on forms created prior to plugin version 1.6.2.

So, I created a new simple contact form identical to the original, enabled anti-spam protection and Akismet anti-spam protection (the anti-spam honeypot option was no longer available) and now it works fine without the error. This works on both my live and local development sites.

I guess the form was too old for the updated plugin.

Thanks for your help and suggestions. Maybe this will help others.

Hi @prashantrai. I followed the advice in your link but the error persists. I deactivated all plugins, completed the form, and the same error is generated. I switched from OceanWP theme to Twenty Twenty-Two theme and the same error is generated.

Hi @niksebastian, this site is under development and contains proprietary information that is not ready for public viewing yet, so I am unable to share the URL publicly. Thanks for your offer, though.

Another follow up. The error logs are gone but after logging out, I could not log back in until I reversed my change to the wp-config.php file. Simply changing the prefix to lower case did not solve the problem. Back to initializing mySQL.

A follow up comment for anyone interested. I was able to eliminate the errors by editing wp-config.php and leaving my.ini untouched.

After shutting down WampServer, I edited wp-config.php, changing the prefix in $table_prefix from uppercase to lowercase. I restarted WampServer and the errors are gone. I did not make the suggested any changes to my.ini.

Thanks again for setting me on the right path regarding case sensitivity.

Thank you for the reply. I understand the problem related to case sensitivity between my live (Linux) and local (Windows) systems.

I tried your solution but my WampServer wouldn’t start with the MySQL error: “Different lower_case_table_names settings for server (‘2’) and data dictionary (‘1’)”

After some more research, I have learned that I need to start over and reinitialize MySQL data directory. This is beyond the scope of this forum, so I’ll leave it there.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
