 * Hello,
 * When I activate the plugin, I get this error:
    Strict Standards: Declaration 
   of competition_entries_table::prepare_items() should be compatible with WP_List_Table::
   prepare_items() in /var/www/newsbeast-stage2/wp-content/plugins/competition-form/
   class/table_classes.php on line 11
 * What can I do?

 * I have the same problem. It only happens when I have debug turned on in my wp-
   config. Here are the notes I have for it:
 * fresh install of WP 4.4
    Twenty Sixteen theme
 * only Contact Form 7 & Competition Form installed and activated
 * having debug on produces on every admin page:
 * Strict Standards: Declaration of competition_entries_table::prepare_items() should
   be compatible with WP_List_Table::prepare_items() in /home5/snipehun/public_html/
   christypw/testerwp/wp-content/plugins/competition-form/class/table_classes.php

 * and form never acts like it submits (spinning arrows circle forever) but it does
   go through

 * I have updated the plugin. It no longer produces the error message, but it is
   still having the trouble where it never acts like it submits – the spinning arrows
   go forever – although it does go through. But the user wouldn’t know that.
 * I have also discovered that selecting multiple checkboxes does not work. It only
   saves the first one that is checked. The entry, when viewed in Contact Form DB,
   does show the full selection of checkboxes. It also links to any uploaded file,
   while Competitions does not, it only shows the file name.

 * Hi sashafiero
 * Thanks for the info. I have updated the plugin to capture multiple checkbox entries.
 * File upload is a not currently supported, but I am looking into resolving.
 * The spinner issue should have been resolved in a previous fix. Will look into
   this

 * Yep, checkboxes work now for me. Thanks! Is there anything I can do to help with
   the spinner?

 * Hi, thanks. I’ve fixed the problem and a new version of the plugin will be available
   shortly.
 * The issue was occurring only on the first entry of any new comp.
 * Thanks
