Form submission errors
-
Hi there,
My forms are not loading properly. And when they do occasionally load, I’m unable to complete and submit the forms. They return an error “Something went wrong” in red at the top of the forms. See here.Can you please tell me what is going on?
Also, the sending text does not appear at all. What appears is a white space. See here.
How do I fix these?
Thanks.

I would also like to add that the Email Notification is not working. The completed forms are not being sent to my email. Could you please help.
Hello there @droyed
Could you please export your form and share it here with us via a service like Dropbox or Pastebin? Here’s how:
https://wpmudev.com/docs/wpmu-dev-plugins/forminator/#import-export
We could then import it into a testing site of ours and further test the submissions as well as the form settings.Also, the sending text does not appear at all. What appears is a white space.
This should be due to a CSS/styling conflict between the form styles and styles coming from the active theme (most themes are adding CSS for default form fields). If you can provide a public URL with the form, we could examine this and propose some custom CSS to override.
I would also like to add that the Email Notification is not working. The completed forms are not being sent to my email.
This might be a more general issue with outgoing emails from your site. Could you please install the following plugin (or an equivalent) that will help you identify any relevant error messages? Then try to resubmit a form and check the logs in that plugin for any additional information. Please do share the results here with us.

DimitrisPlease find the export doc here.
As for the white space appearing, I have a dark theme. Is there anyway I can make the “sending” text white?
I checked the outgoing email stuff and everything seems to be working fine. But for some reason, like I mentioned in my previous post, the Forminator form responses are not being sent to my email.
Please help.
Hi @droyed,
As for the white space appearing, I have a dark theme. Is there anyway I can make the “sending” text white?You have already configured the colour for Submission Indicator to be white; it should be CSS/styling conflict between the form styles and styles coming from the active theme causing an issue.
To investigate the issues noticed, I imported the form to a test site but could not replicate it at our end. As this is more a site-specific issue, can you provide a public URL with the form to further check this?
Kind Regards,
Nebu JohnThank you for your message.
So what colour shall I change the Submission Indicator to?
Here is the link to the url.
Please advice. Thank you!
Hi @droyed
You can use some CSS to customize the messages, I used the same background color and white text just to show the selectors but you can use any colour:
.forminator-response-message.forminator-show.forminator-loading{ color: #fff !important;; background: #000 !important; } .forminator-response-message.forminator-show.forminator-error{ color: #fff !important;; background: #000 !important; } .forminator-response-message.forminator-show.forminator-success{ color: #fff !important;; background: #000 !important; }You can add the custom CSS on Form > Appearance > Custom CSS.
Best Regards

Thanks for that. I changed the submission indicator to black the other day and that seemed to have worked.
However, the forms are still returning errors –”Something went wrong”. Please see here.
Could you please help.
Hello @droyed !
Hope you’re having a good day!
I tested the form, however I wasn’t able to replicate the issue with the error – are there any specific selections that need to be made in order to cause the issue to occur? Can you share example data to fill in that causes this?
Kind regards,
PawelHi Pawel @wpmudev-support9
Thank for your message. The form seems to be working now; however, the submissions are not being delivered to my email inbox. And so, I’m having to log into Forminator dashboard to view them.
Can you please help me fix this?
Hi @droyed
Thanks for response!
About these notifications, let’s take a step back. Few posts ago you wrote “I checked the outgoing email stuff and everything seems to be working fine. But for some reason, like I mentioned in my previous post, the Forminator form responses are not being sent to my email.”.
This was in response to my colleague’s suggestion to check with the “Check & Log Email” plugin. I understand that you did check so to clarify this:
– is it that all the e-mails including form submission mails are showing up in the log but those form mails are just not reaching target recipient?
– or those form mails are not even logged in the log in that plugin?
If it’s the first one, can you confirm for sure if they are not getting moved to “spam” folder of your inbox?
Let us know and we’ll then see what to do next.
Best regards,
AdamHi Adam @wpmudev-support8
Thank you for your message.
Yes, like your colleague had mentioned, I checked all of that but nothing seemed out of place.
And so, while I was waiting for a resolution from your end, I reached out to the hosting provider and they told me that although everything looked fine, they asked me to download “WP Mail SMTP”. They helped me configure the plugin and set it up. I tried to send myself a test email/form and this seems to be working now!
Hi @droyed
I am happy to hear it is working now.
Let us know if you have any further questions or issues.
Best Regards
Patrick Freitas
