Title: Input Form Not Inserting Data Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # Input Form Not Inserting Data * Resolved [rdeigsler](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rdeigsler/) * (@rdeigsler) * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/input-form-not-inserting-data/) * When I use the input form in a page no data gets entered into the database. When I enter a testimonial through the Edit Testimonial admin page it does. * Here is the shortcode I am using. * [katb_testimonial group=”all” number=”all” by=”date” id=”” rotate=”no”] [katb_input_testimonials group=”All”] * I am using WordPress 3.8 and Testimonial Basics 4.0 on a Windows Server 2008. * Thanks in advance * [http://wordpress.org/plugins/testimonial-basics/](http://wordpress.org/plugins/testimonial-basics/) Viewing 11 replies - 1 through 11 (of 11 total) * Plugin Author [kevinhaig](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kevinhaig/) * (@kevinhaig) * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/input-form-not-inserting-data/#post-4501909) * Hi rdeigsler * What is your website address so I might take a look. * After you input a testimonial and it says it was sent, if you go to the Edit Testimonial Panel, it is not there? It should be there but not approved, unless you have turned on auto approval. * Thread Starter [rdeigsler](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rdeigsler/) * (@rdeigsler) * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/input-form-not-inserting-data/#post-4501923) * Hi Kevin, * Thanks for replying so quickly. * [http://www.introflights.com/?page_id=242](http://www.introflights.com/?page_id=242) * That is correct, after I input a testimonial and it says it was sent, if you go to the Edit Testimonial Panel, it is not there. I look in the database and the record is not there either. * One thing I am noticing when I view source code of page is that the form tag has a method but no action (
). I am assuming this is fine as it is just posting back to itself? * Plugin Author [kevinhaig](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kevinhaig/) * (@kevinhaig) * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/input-form-not-inserting-data/#post-4501931) * That is correct. * You can try adding action=”#” to the form tag and see if that works, but I think something else is going on. * Plugin Author [kevinhaig](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kevinhaig/) * (@kevinhaig) * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/input-form-not-inserting-data/#post-4501935) * Sent you a test testimonial. * What browser are you using? * Thread Starter [rdeigsler](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rdeigsler/) * (@rdeigsler) * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/input-form-not-inserting-data/#post-4501938) * I am getting the email notification for your testimonial but no records in database. * I have tried with IE11, Firefox 26, and Chrome 31. * Plugin Author [kevinhaig](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kevinhaig/) * (@kevinhaig) * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/input-form-not-inserting-data/#post-4501946) * I just double checked the testbed and everything is working. * I see a line between Name and Email on my screen. Is that supposed to be there? * Have you changed any code? * Thread Starter [rdeigsler](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rdeigsler/) * (@rdeigsler) * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/input-form-not-inserting-data/#post-4501949) * I haven’t changed any code. I get the line on Firefox and Chrome but not with IE 11. * If you look at page source you can see there is only a break tag between them. * `

Contact me through e-mail (contact page of kevinsspace.ca) if you are interested in trying a fix. * If the fix works I will release a update. * Thread Starter [rdeigsler](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rdeigsler/) * (@rdeigsler) * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/input-form-not-inserting-data/#post-4501965) * Sounds good, email sent. * Thread Starter [rdeigsler](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rdeigsler/) * (@rdeigsler) * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/input-form-not-inserting-data/#post-4501973) * Voila!, Works perfect! * Thanks for all your help. * And I want to thank you for your well commented code.
