    Little background…
    I’m just learning WordPress. Saw YouTube video recommending you plugin so I’m trying it.

    I want to move our traditional HTML (Dreamweaver website) to WordPress. No problem until I got to the Registration Form page. I had used php to validate and email info to 3 different emails. I used checkboxes to accept most of the info. I can’t get them to work with your plugin – boxes just don’t show up, just label (here’s the link to the page I’m working 0n – http://deer-days.org/wordpress/test/). I really don’t want the dropdowns (want checkboxes), but was trying to see if they’d work.

    Can anyone help? I probably missed some little step 🙂

    Thanks.

    Sorry… don’t know why, but the web page link doesn’t. If you need to see the page, click the “test” link on the menu.

    2. Clicked “Add New” at top and named the form
    3. Added label then clicked “Generate Tag”
    a. Selected “checkboxes”
    b. Named it according to label
    c. Copied 1st code (brown box) into “Form” area
    d. Copied 2nd code (green box)and
    pasted in “Message Body” under the “Message Body [your message]”
    f. Repeat for other info
    g. Copied the code at the top of the page

    OK. Try switching to the default theme.

    I changed the theme to “Twenty Ten”… same thing.

    If it helps, here’s the code…

    That tells the cause of the issue.

    <p>[checkbox adult]  Adult (over 12 yrs of age)</ br>
          [checkbox adult_early] (Early registration)</ br>
          [checkbox youth] Youth (12 years of age or younger)</ br>
          [checkbox sponsor] Sponsor
          [checkbox benefactor] Benefactor</p>

    You haven’t set the values to those checkboxes.
