That is unusual, the form action URL is double printed in the HTML. I have not seen that problem before. It could be another plugin conflicting
Maybe another plugin is conflicting
Look on the Admin – Plugins – menu.
Temporarily Deactivate (not uninstall) all your other plugins. If you have a page cache plugin, deactivate it before and during the whole test.
Did the problem you were having go away? If yes, test if the problem goes away after activating each plugin one at a time. This way you can determine which plugin was causing the problem. Once you determine a plugin is conflicting, check the plugin version to be sure it is compatible with your version of WP. Sometimes plugins are no longer updated, then new WP versions come out and the plugin will generate errors or no longer function as intended. Report any problems you find to the plugin author.
The theme you are using could be causing it
Do this as a test:
In Admin, click on Appearance, Themes.
Temporarily activate your theme to the default one for your version of WordPress…
“Twenty Fourteen” (default for WP 3.9+)
It does not cause any harm to your WP to temporarily change the theme, test if the errors went away, and then change the theme back.
If you have a page cache plugin, keep it deactivated during the whole test.
Does it work properly with a default WordPress theme?
If it does, then the theme you are using is the cause. Use a different theme or report the errors to the theme developer.
Any luck?
I’m having the exact same issue… I tried all of the above and it’s not fixing the issue. This also started to happen after making the update just this week. Please help!
Hi @algar423 did you disable all your plugins except this one and carried out a test?
Yes, I tried disabling all plugins and switched theme… what’s strange is that it works fine when I used the form on a Pop-up plugin. However, when I use the form on a Page, Blog or Widget and I check with Developer Tools the <form action=, it adds the main domain to that page’s url, here is a copied example.
<form action=”http://www.domain.comhttp://www.domain.com/seattle-detox-program/” id=”fscf_form1″ method=”post”>
Under developer tools, if I remove the first domain, and try it, it works fine:
<form action=”http://www.domain.com/seattle-detox-program/” id=”fscf_form1″ method=”post”>
I’m not sure what could be causing this.
I’m using version 4.0.28
Hi @algar423 what do you mean by..
what’s strange is that it works fine when I used the form on a Pop-up plugin
Are you using a pop up plugin?
I tested the shortcode on a pop-up plugin (WordPress PopUp)
I entered the shortcode on that pop-up and it works fine… I did that test because I wanted to see if the issue only happened when I entered the shortcode on a Page, Post, or Widget… and that does seem to be the case. I did disable the WordPress PopUp plugin and all others and tested the shortcode again on a Page and the problem still continues.
I don’t even fill out the form, I just hit the submit button and it causes the issue above.
Not sure what is causing the URL on the form action to change when when I enter the shortcode to a Page, Post or Widget.
Wait, I got it to work.. I completely removed the plugin “WordPress PopUp” and it now works fine… that was strange! Thx
That is good to hear 😉 That popup plugin must be adding some unethical code in the background causing this to happen with the contact form plugin.
Enjoy
derekgregory, do you also have the plugin “WordPress PopUp”?
