 * I was creating some forms using Forminator when I stumbled upon an issue when
   trying to make forms using the select component.
   Steps:1. Create a new form (
   I picked blank template)2. Add a Select field3. Publish/Save the formThe error
   that appeared was: “Something went wrong while saving your form. Please try again”
   and a 403 Forbidden is returnedIt was working before and I’m using the latest
   version of the plugin

 * Hi [@svenh9l](https://wordpress.org/support/users/svenh9l/) ,
 * I hope you’re doing well.
 * Could you export your form using the guide on this link: [https://wpmudev.com/docs/wpmu-dev-plugins/forminator/#import-export](https://wpmudev.com/docs/wpmu-dev-plugins/forminator/#import-export)?
   Once exported, kindly use a Cloud service like Google Drive, pastebin.com, or
   similar to share it. If you have sensitive data, please duplicate the form, remove
   it, and export the form.
 * I hope to hear back from you soon.
 * Best regards,
    Williams Valerio

 * Hi [@wpmudev-support8](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpmudev-support8/),
   
   I’m doing well thanks for asking.I exported the form and put it in [this pastebin](https://pastebin.com/B1c4aXqr).
   The error occurred after migrating the site to my live environment.I first thought
   it would be an issue with the forms itself, but even when creating a new form
   it doesn’t want to save. If there is more info you need, let me knowRegards,Sven

 * Hi [@svenh9l](https://wordpress.org/support/users/svenh9l/),
 * To investigate the issue further, I imported the form to a test website. On the
   imported form, I was able to add a select field and save it without any problems,
   indicating that the issue is specific to your website.
 * As the issue began appearing after migrating to the live website, it’s possible
   that something may have been corrupted during the migration process. Could you
   try reinstalling the plugin to see if that resolves the issue?
 * If the issue persists, please perform a complete conflict test to ensure no other
   plugin or theme is conflicting and causing the issue. I hope the following guide
   helps you perform a conflict test: [https://wpmudev.com/docs/getting-started/getting-support/#conflict-test](https://wpmudev.com/docs/getting-started/getting-support/#conflict-test)
 * Please ensure to take a complete backup of the website before further proceeding
   as you notice the issue only on your live website.
 * Please update us here with the results so that we can help you further.
 * Kind Regards,
    Nebu John

 * Hi [@svenh9l](https://wordpress.org/support/users/svenh9l/),
 * If you haven’t enabled the option to reset the data on uninstallation, then re-
   installing the plugin shouldn’t affect the existing forms and it should be intact.
 * Please check this for more info about the setting:

 * Hello WPMU DEV Support,
   I reinstalled the plugin, but this did not fix the issue.
   There is an error in my dev tools console whenever I save a form that contains
   a select.
 *     ```wp-block-code
       form-scripts.js?ver=1.37.1:123 Error: Request failed with status code 403    at e.exports (form-scripts.js?ver=1.37.1:46:15858)    at e.exports (form-scripts.js?ver=1.37.1:123:1241)    at l.onreadystatechange (form-scripts.js?ver=1.37.1:46:14896)
       ```
