Hello,
Have configured TDO mini forms and now when there is a new user trying to post, the user will input all the details and when they press on send the user gets this following error.
TDOMF: Bad data submitted. Please reload the page and try submitting your post again.
If ajax option is disabled the page hangs while giving saying the request is been processed and when I check the log, I get the below mentioned error.
][21-08-09(7:14:20)] Form (1) submitted with bad nonce key (post = 28b574f28b) from 80.184.79.108 !
Request for support.
The "nounce" key is a unique key generated when the form is visited by a user. It's normally valid for 24 hours. It's there to guarentee that a post request came from someone visiting a form and not some script-kiddies or spambot.
There are options in TDO Mini Forms to disable this or use alternatives. However it should just work out of the box.
1) Are you using a caching plugin like the cool wp-super-cache? If so you must disable caching of a page with the form. This will cause a bad data error as above when the form isn't updated in the cache.
2) Did you use the form hacker? If you did, make sure you used the macro: %%FORMKEY%%

Hello TDO,
1. I tried posting as a guest after 24 hours of time and ask others to try from various locations, it worked for others but not for me. However I had logged in as admin prior to logging off and trying to post as guest. Not sure if this has caused a problem.
2. I have only one plugin enabled and that is TDO Mini Forms.
3. I did not find any value that can be changed in the form hacker for %FORMKEY% -- hope I have got this right.
Looking for your support.
How are you configuring the form? Can you export it and upload the export somewhere so I can have a look? Try the default theme. Also, if you have used a caching plugin before, disabling it is not enough. At least the last time I checked wp-super-cache left files in wp-content that could still "cache" the form page.
