 * Hi [@mcestaro](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mcestaro/)
 * on the page that you shared, I don’t see any form.
 * In any case, maybe it’s not really a simple page reloading, but a redirect to
   the same URL, but adding a query argument.
 * I mean, first, you have the page [https://fofinhorockclub.com.br/membership-login/membership-profile/](https://fofinhorockclub.com.br/membership-login/membership-profile/),
   then you submit the form, and maybe you have [https://fofinhorockclub.com.br/membership-login/membership-profile/?form-submitted=1](https://fofinhorockclub.com.br/membership-login/membership-profile/?form-submitted=1)
   or something similar.
 * It’s a supposition, if I don’t see the form I can’t say anything for sure.
 * If my supposition is true, check that you haven’t set something in Custom URLs
   => Frontend URLs that may overwrite the settings of that page.
 * Check also that after the form submission you are still on the same page and 
   not a different page that looks like the page before the submission.

 * Thanks for the quick response Jose.
 * I’ve noticed that after form submission, apparently the same page is reloaded
   by WordPress (and just my supposition, as when inspecting the page the reference
   to the “page-id-170” remains the same.)
 * As the form refers to the edition of users registered in the WP, you will only
   be able to access the page with a username and password.
 * So I created user **fdpjose** and password post-14704579 so you can see what’s
   going on.
 * To login use the page: [https://fofinhorockclub.com.br/membership-login/](https://fofinhorockclub.com.br/membership-login/)
 * Form page:
    [https://fofinhorockclub.com.br/membership-login/membership-profile/](https://fofinhorockclub.com.br/membership-login/membership-profile/)
 * The disabled plugin that works again after form submission is the one that appears
   in the reloaded page HTML code as <div id=”simple-sticky-footer-container” style
   =”display: block;”> (in the first load of the page where the FDP is working, 
   this DIV does not exist in the HTML code).
 * Below is the code of the PHP page that is called by the SimpleMembership Plugin
   shortcode and presents the form for editing and submission.
 *     ```
       <?php
       $auth = SwpmAuth::get_instance();
       $user_data = (array) $auth->userData;
       $user_data['membership_level_alias'] = $auth->get('alias');
       extract($user_data, EXTR_SKIP);
       $settings=SwpmSettings::get_instance();
       $force_strong_pass=$settings->get_value('force-strong-passwords');
       if (!empty($force_strong_pass)) {
           $pass_class="validate[custom[strongPass],minSize[8]]";
       } else {
           $pass_class="";
       }
       SimpleWpMembership::enqueue_validation_scripts();
       //The admin ajax causes an issue with the JS validation if done on form submission. The edit profile doesn't need JS validation on email. There is PHP validation which will catch any email error.
       //SimpleWpMembership::enqueue_validation_scripts(array('ajaxEmailCall' => array('extraData'=>'&action=swpm_validate_email&member_id='.SwpmAuth::get_instance()->get('member_id'))));

 * Hi [@mcestaro](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mcestaro/)
 * thank you very much for the detailed information.
 * Freesoul Deactivate Plugins doesn’t disable any plugin if the $_POST variable
   is not empty. This is to prevent more severe issues given by other plugins.
    
   Not disabling a plugin is less serious than disabling a plugin that you don’t
   want to disable. This philosophy is the basis of FDP.
 * In your case, you have this issue because of this precaution.
    When you submit
   the form, the plugin Simple Membership reloads the same page but filling the 
   variable $_POST to transmit the data.
 * You can solve it by adding this line of code in wp-config.php before the comment/*
   That’s all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */:
 * `define( 'EOS_DP_ALLOW_POST',true );`
 * Then check the website, because by adding that constant you ask FDP to don’t 
   care if the $_POST variable is not empty. The probability other plugins cause
   issues is low, but not zero. So check that all works right and you don’t have
   unexpected disabled plugins somewhere. If all works right, you can keep that 
   line in wp-config.php and the problem should be solved.

 * Hi Jose,
 * The problem was solved with your proposed solution and no other plugin I use 
   was affected by the change.
 * I marked this topic as resolved! 🙂
