# Hello Spam Bot!

 * There is an issue with form submission, it is giving us the Hello Spam Bot! message
   and it wont submit the form. Deactivating the UM resolves the issue but it is
   not the solution.
 * Also turning of Enable Time Check Security in settings will allow the form to
   be submitted but it gives the following error:
 * Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/xxxxx/public_html/wp-
   content/plugins/ultimate-member/core/um-actions-form/php on line 156
 * Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/xxxxx/public_html/wp-
   content/plugins/ultimate-member/core/um-actions-form/php on line 95
 * We are using Visual Form Builder Pro. We have been using this form for a long
   time now.

 * Well if I deactivate the Visual Form Builder Pro there is no form to use…
    Also
   it has do with the kind of form, at this point we have 2 form on the site build
   with Visual Form Builder Pro. One is just regular form, the other is allowing
   user to create a post (this form is giving the error msg). The posts are being
   submitted as a draft for the admin to review and the user (prson who submit the
   form) is getting the “Thank you msg” and then the error pop out on top of the
   header of the page.

 * When you turn off spam bot message, and debug mode to off do you still get an
   php error?

 * Noticing the same issue as the OP.
 * Both instances took place. Spambot fixed after disabling time check security.
   Following error were the lines of code affected in the .php. Could not find where/
   how to debug.
 * There are two forms on the site in use with Visual Form Builder. One of which
   is not having any errors after our customers submit, while the other is.
 * This took place after the last update. 6/15/2015, I believe.
 * Have there been any conflict resolutions as of yet?

 * This appears at the top of the page after a user submits a form:
 * Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/xxxxx/public_html/wp-

 * Applies to only one of two live forms currently in use.

 * The common plugin Custom Contact Forms is having a conflict with Ultimate Member
   where UM is blocking Custom Contact Forms from submitting.
 * The page says: “An unknown error occurred”
 * Looking at the network log, from the page /contact/ where the form is, there 
   is a request (by ccf) to the URL {domain}/contact/?v=1458679339
 * That request is blocked by UM with the response: “Hello, Spam Bot!”
 * Any idea how to resolve this conflict?
 * We are on :
    – Ultimate Member 1.3.44 – WordPress 4.4.2 (current) – WooCommerce
   2.5.5 (current) – W3 TotalCache 0.9.4.1 – Custom Contact Forms 7.8.1 (current)(

 * UPDATE / FIX:
 * Turning off the option “Enable Time Check Security” fixes the conflict!
 * Thanks!
