 * my form was working fine, but since my upgrade to wp3.5.1 it no longer works.
   when the info is entered and the capcha code submitted, it simply resubmits another
   code and the message doesn’t send.
 * any ideas?

 * What version are you using?
    Make sure you are using the latest version of this
   plugin.
 * What is the URL to your form?

 * **There could be a PHP error on the page**.
    Your server might have PHP error
   display turned off so it does not show what the error says. You can try this 
   temporarily to possibly see the error.
 * Edit the wp-config.php file and add this line:
    `define('WP_DEBUG', true);`
 * Be sure to remove it later when done testing as some poorly written plugins and
   themes will display warnings that are not really hard errors just warnings.
 * Was there an error?
 * **If there are no errors…**
 * 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 a WP default one…
 * “Twenty Twelve” (default for WP 3.5+)
 * It does not cause any harm to your WP to temporarily change the theme test and
   then and change back.
    Does it work properly with a default WP theme? If it does
   then the theme you are using is the cause.
 * **Maybe another plugin is conflicting…**
    Look on the Admin – Plugins – menu.
   Temporarily Disable (not uninstall) all your other plugins. Does it work now?
   If yes, Activate each of the plugins one by one to determine which one conflicts.
   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.
 * Did you determine the the cause?

 * maybe i’ll just post my e-mail on the page, or i could just delete it and try
   another plugin?
 * thats a lot to go thru for someone who just began using wordpress one month ago.
   i don’t even know where to find the wp-config file.

 * first of all, i wasn’t lying when i told you i didnt even know where the wp-config
   file is? it might take you 5 minutes, not me.
 * and after finding it and making the change, how am i now going to make heads 
   or tails out of it?

 * it isn’t the theme and it isn’t the plugins.
 * there was a long list of warnings in the config.php and i have no idea of what
   any of it means. the only thing i found that says something is wrong is this:
 * Notice: register_uninstall_hook was called incorrectly. Only a static class method
   or function can be used in an uninstall hook

 * any idea what the above php error means? or what to do about it? could it be 
   what is causing the form not to send?
 * i tried both other things you said and it still doesn’t work.
 * i disabled the plugin and took the form off the page for now.

 * after downloading the update on my fs contact form to 3.1.7.3 and reactivating,
   i tried again. this time i got an error saying that “php sessions are broken 
   on this server”.
 * i sent a ticket to my host. not sure if it will work after fixing that as i didn’t
   get this message yesterday and all it did was keep refreshing the capcha, but
   i guess i will find out when they fix it.

 * In Version 3.1.7.3, I added the feature to notify you when php sessions are broken
   on your server. Now I can eliminate guesswork as to what the problem is.

 * thats a big help. thanks a lot. i will have to wait to hear back from my host
   and see if they get it straightened out, but from what i read on your link, this
   should do it.
 * i hope so. i would like to keep the form.

 * The plugin has gone trough some bug fixing in the last few versions since version
   3.1.7 when I had to restructure the code to fix for compatibility with JetPack,
   SFC Like, and other plugins that modify “The content”.
 * When version 3.1.7 came out, I had to require PHP sessions but it seems every
   1 out of 3,000 users has a server with broken sessions.
 * I worked almost all day today on a new approach to sessions that no longer uses
   PHP sessions, but an internal WP replacement. So hopefully the issue can be resolved
   for good.
    Will you test it?
 * All you need to do is FTP to your server, and upload some files that I can send
   you.
 * Fill out my [support form](http://www.fastsecurecontactform.com/support) and 
   go ahead and ignore the donation request it asks for. Then I will send you the
   files to test.

 * I’m having a similar problem even though I use it on another website (same hosting)
   where it works fine.
    It just redirects to the same page (without any errors –
   even if I omit an obligatory field) and doesn’t send. I have done the following:–
   the FSCF test e-mail works – I have disabled all the other pluggins – no change–
   I have changed the theme to TwentyTwelve – no change – seeing the issue with 
   hosting at GoDaddy, I have tried the plugin WP MAIL SMTP (test e-mail works) 
   but it doesn’t help. – I have tried every combination mentioned on the e-mail
   tab regarding the ‘enable when web host requires “mail from” etc. – no change
   Can you please help ? Jay
