    Hi,

    Something got messed up in my cforms setting. Cforms detected this and I tried putting in the correct data. Cforms then told me to Deactivate and Activate the plugin but not all my forms are gone.
    Which tables do I need to restore to get them back?

    Thanks in advance.

    It is just one record:
    select * from wp_options where option_name=’cforms_settings’;

    Thanks, bgermann.

    I found a post about a broken cforms administration page (since WordPress 4.2 related to URL encoding the / in the request parameter) which I am also experiencing (using cforms 14.6.) The suggested fix in the cforms code does not work for me for some reason.

    I would like to update to the latest version of cforms but I am afraid I will lose my forms. What do you recommend when upgrading/
    (Sorry for asking but I’m completely new to WordPress.)

    You can update to version 14.6.0.5 as described in readme -> Installation -> “Upgrading the plugin” to get rid of the layout bug. The only change that was made is this bugfix.

    If you keep the mentioned table data backed up, you cannot lose any forms as you can always go back to 14.6 and recover the data. The only people that complain about losing forms are those without any backup.

    Before updating to the current version you should read the readme section “Upgrade Notice” as it mentions incompatible changes.
