    Hi there I have a problem when I come to upload images to the form that i have created in Entry Wizard, when I submit image entries Bad Behavior objects and gives me an error screen and when I clear it my filled-in form has been cleared of its contents.
    I have contacted Michael Hampson the creator of Bad Behavior and he sent me this which he suggested that I send to you:

    Hi Danny,

    Here is what is going on:

    Bad Behavior adds a hidden form field to all forms on the web page, the contents of which you saw in that error message. The reason for this is to catch spammers who try to submit the form but aren’t capable of running the JavaScript, or who cache a copy of the form and submit the form from an old copy such as the one in Google’s cache. This catches quite a bit of spam.

    However…

    I took a look at the code in the Entry Wizard plugin. It is going over every form field, and when it finds one it doesn’t recognize, it throws the error message that you saw. Most other plugins just ignore form fields they don’t recognize and do nothing with them.

    I might be able to work around this, but I suggest you also contact the plugin author of the Entry Wizard plugin (and forward a copy of this mail; it will help) as they may be able to fix it more easily from their end.

    I hope we can find a work-around as Entry Wizard is precisely what my club site needs and Bad Behavior too as I haven’t had any spam come through.

    Thanks Danny

    You are lucky, because this is a fairly simple change and I was just about to release a new version anyway!

    I’ll change it so it just logs the unrecognised field.

    Should be out soon.

    Thanks very much Josie, that’s really very much appreciated.
    I’m glad the timing of my question came just before your release of a new version and that it was easy to fix, I look forward to using your excellent plugin.
