• Hey there,

    the plugin now works great. Now I have a slight problem, when the form is “not accepting responses” anymore.

    The plugin just says, the website is not avaialble – but when visiting the link, my customized message appears.

    Ist it possible to have that message show up on the website as well, or do I manually need to remove the form? (instead of just closing it in google docs)

    any help appreciated

    I’ll take a look. To be honest, I’ve never tested that before as the ability to stop accepting responses wasn’t available when I first wrote the plugin.

    okay here is some more info:
    i closed the form on google drive and this is what happened:
    on any page where I include the form with the shortcode, it says that the page I was looking for is not available.

    When editing the form and then going to the page /wpforms …. it actually works. It shows the message that the form is closed – though when using the shortcode, it shows again that the page is not available.

    Now I tested some more and figured out, it works with the shortcode as well, when it is not a secure connection (http instead of https). So when I change https to http the message will be shown on the /wpgforms… and shortcode page.
    It’s kind of odd that google allows ssl for the open forms but not for closed ones.

    Hopefully this helps you a bit more – any questiosn please ask

    That is interesting although I am not quite sure what to do about it. I’ll have to think about this as at first glance, it seems sort of like a chicken and egg situation – you don’t know there is a problem until there is a problem.

    I supposed the plugin could check for an error, which is currently does, and before aborting, do another check using the http protocol instead of the https protocol and if there is still an error, abort like it does now and if not, it would proceed.

    I’ll have to think about that.
