In that case, af/form/before_submission might work as it’s run after validation but before any processing (so you won’t need to delete the entry later). It’s highly untested though so I can’t guarantee that it will work. If you find some bug, I’d be happy to fix it!

Hey, Theo!

The best way is probably to set the redirect argument using https://advancedforms.github.io/filters/af/form/args/ and there you can set the URL to include whatever arguments you need.

Hey, Paul!

Technically there is an undocumented action called af/form/before_submission from which you can call af_add_submission_error( $message ) to add an error and stop the submission. There isn’t an easy way to do it from the actual af/form/submission action though.

May I ask what your needs are which means the af/form/validate action won’t work?

From my experience, there are a lot of email-related plugins that mess with the “From” header on all emails. Could you try disabling other plugins and see if that fixes the issue?

Hi, Remco!

This is commonly caused by having some other plugin on the site which overrides the from field for all emails sent. Do you have any other plugins that might be interfering with email sending?

Thanks for the kind words, Adrian! I’m glad you enjoy Advanced Forms ??

Hi, @remcorhee!

I just tested this in my local environment and the “From” setting seems to work for me. I can think of two things which might cause issues:

1. Make sure the value you entered in the from setting is either a valid email address or on the form Name <EMAIL_ADDRESS>.
2. If you have some plugin on your site to handle email sending, it might be overriding the from field.

Could you check that? ??

Hi, @remcorhee!

Adrian’s suggestion should work. Another way is to use a snippet like the following (replace FORM_KEY with your actual form key):

function show_form_again( $form ) {
    // By clearing the submission object we stop the form from showing a success message
    AF()->submission = null;

    // We must return $form again as this is a filter
    return $form;
}
add_filter( 'af/form/before_render/key=FORM_KEY', 'show_form_again', 10, 1 );

This should work as long as you don’t have AJAX submissions enabled!

If you want to show a success message above, you should be able to echo the message you like from inside that filter ??

Great! Glad I could help ??

Entry creation runs very early, at priority 1, so you’ll need your af/form/submission action to run at a lower priority than that.

If you are using the af/form/submission/key=FORM_KEY action though, this won’t work as that will always run after the other one. But as the recipient thing works, I don’t think you’re doing that!

Theoretically yes with the right priority but I would recommend adding the logic directly to the filter instead! Does that work in your case?

Great! I’ve added this now, available if you grab the latest version from Github: https://github.com/advancedforms/advanced-forms/commit/3bf01af376042b3bf18d7a3deb70a2bfde45da52. Will be included in the next release also of course ??

Hi, Paul! I’m glad you like AF.

There is no such filter at the moment but I’d be happy to add it. Would something like af/form/entry/should_create which you can return false from work?

Hi again! Your code looks good but worth noting that you don’t need sprintf in your case!

Regarding other fields being added, what location rule have you set for the unexpected fields in the ACF settings?

Those are regular old WordPress filters so you should be fine adding it to your functions.php or similar!
