1) If a questions is not answered in two weeks, what do you recommend as a way to get a resolution?

2) The debugging technique of trying a new theme and disabling plugins, although a standard thing, is not really applicable in this case.

A careful reading of the initial problem, and the additional information I provided, would show that the same form works on an ‘old’ page, but does not work on a ‘new’ page. (See the two links in message 2 here.)

The variable is not the theme, nor any other plugin, but the ‘old’ page and the ‘new’ page. Both of which use the same template. That’s what my 30-odd years in computers (wide-ranging, including years of PHP programming and years of WP site administration, and a few plugins myself) tells me.

The original question also asked if there was a ‘debug mode’ to understand what is going on in the background. That question was not (has not been answered).

What circumstances would cause the same form (with no typos in the form shortcode) to work on one page, but not on another? Using the same template. Using the same theme. Using the same version of CF7. Using the same installed plugins.

(And, just to make all ‘happy’, I have verified that it is not a theme or plugin by changing the theme and disabling all plugins.)

Great! The standard answer, just to provide an answer. Not that it matches the question. But, good standard answer! </sarcasm>

I provided two links in the 2nd message. Both pages use the same contact code. The current contact page works. The same code on the test page does not work, along with a new contact form that also doesn’t work.

So, current theme or other plugins are not the problem. If they were the problem, *all* contact7 forms would not work.

Careful reading of the detailed information I supplied would tell you that. The problem has occurred since updating WP and/or CF7. Creating new CF forms does not work, even though ‘old’ CF7 forms work.

I realize this forum is a volunteer effort. But that effort should include careful reading of the problem, and not just the almost auto-reply of ‘theme/other plugins are the problem’.

Bump.

Problem still occurs with latest update (today). Have edited the contact forms, saved them, ensured no typos in form, but error still occur as in above.

Even forms that work on other pages don’t work on the new page. Example here https://www.timberton.org/resident-email-test/ : first form is a new one, second form is an existing/works on other pages (here https://www.timberton.org/contact-the-web-guy/ )

Set up a test page that shows the extra bullets under the pictures:

https://www.missionaryletters.com/test-slider/

password = justatest

I put the slider page on the public site, so it is now available:

https://www.missionaryletters.com/

But that’s with the navigation arrows disabled. The theme is “Mantra”, with some minor CSS changes. But none of the classes used in the generated page (when navigation arrows enabled) appear to be via the Mantra CSS; when I look at the CSS via Firebug, I only see your plugin’s ‘slide’ code.

You should be able to duplicate the problem with the settings I have previously noted.

It looks like the extra bullets are because of the ‘previous/next text’ settings in the Advanced area, which default to the left-bracket/right-bracket characters.

If I remove those settings, the extra bullets are still there; the code shown in Firebug is

<ul class="flex-direction-nav">
<li>
<a class="flex-prev" href="#">false</a>
</li>
<li>
<a class="flex-next" href="#">false</a>
</li>
</ul>

Even though the ‘false’ text does not appear; and the extra bullets are still shown.

If I uncheck the ‘arrows’ box in Settings, the extra bullets go away.

So it appears to be how the plugin is styling/coding the navigation arrows that show up on the picture/slide when hovering over the picture.

Bump…….

Have also noticed this problem. Adding a field to the billing information does not show that field on the admin User Account page. The customer will see that field on their Billing Information page (in My Account), but there is no way for an admin to see that additional field.

Thanks….Rick…

Sorry for the delay in responding, been traveling and got distracted…

Changing the Preferred Text Type to HTML fixed the problem. Not sure why I didn’t see that before (programmers tunnel vision, I guess).

Thanks for the response, and the great plugin. A donation will be forthcoming after my travels.

All info just sent to [email protected] . Awaiting your reply…Thanks…Rick

(please advise what email address to send screenshots, debug log file, etc)

ALso having problems with scheduled posts, when published, notifications not being sent out to subscriber.

Using version 1.5.7, without ReadyGraph.

Please advise.

I believe the secret is to, on the Feeds List, then edit the feed, to click the green button (‘Fetch Feed Items Now’). That should get the actual feeds into the Posts, All Posts area.

The section just below that green button on that page (‘Most Recent Items in the Database’) doesn’t really show a list of items that the plugin has gotten into the Post database. It just shows those items that it found on the feed source.

If you use the green button (and perhaps the red button just before that to clear things out), you should be able to see the items in the Posts, All Posts page (after a short delay).

Allen: I am using AutoPost, as previously stated.
Sent access to admin area of site via your contact form.

If I set autopost to draft, I can see items in the Feed Items list. But those items are not shown in Posts, All Posts. I see no way to change a ‘draft’ post (in the Feed Items list) to Published.

In fact, although there are items in the Feed Items list, and a Quick Edit of the Feed Item shows Published, the item doesn’t appear on the blog, and doesn’t appear on the Posts, All Posts screen.

If I create a new Feed source via Add A Feed, and set the status of items to “Draft”, then activate that new Feed source, the plugin will grab the feed items. I can see the new items for that new feed source, and if I Quick Edit, the feed items are shown as Published. But these new items do not appear on the blog, and do not appear in the Posts, All Posts screen (which is set to display all types of posts).

The only way I can get AutoPost to put items on the blog page are if I set Feed sources as “Publish”….which is not good, as I need to review/approve posts before they are published.

Diagnostics run, report no errors.
