 * I recently updated to version 1.6 and immediately got errors. First, after updating
   the plugin, Forms was completely removed from my site. I had to ‘reactivate’ 
   the plugin.
 * Now, i am getting (form ‘form-3’ not found) ** after the form is submitted. I
   get **form (slug name) ** “not found” for each of my forms. I have tried to re-
   save each of them and even created a new form, but I keep getting the same error
   message. **
 * Messages are getting logged in db and sent via email. Why is this happening?

 * Sorry to take so long to respond on this. Try going to Forms > Advanced Settings
   > Database Check, and see if it comes up with any errors. Other than that, I 
   don’t know why this is happening. What version did you have before you updated?

 * Also, are you using the normal form behavior?

 * I performed the the database check and everything is ‘ok’ no errors. And, I am
   still getting the “form <slugname> not found error”. I am using default form 
   behavior.
    Any other suggestions?

 * Unfortunately I really don’t know. This is definitely a bug. What theme are you
   using?

 * Today got the same problem 🙂
 * Solution is simple:
    use slug [**formmanager** formmanager-abc] instead of [formmanager-
   abc] or use ‘insert form’ button in editor :))
