 * Hello —
 * I am using wordpress version 3.1.3 and am attempting to use the plugin to create
   basically an online volunteer application.
 * The page and form are located here. [http://beta.gavinmiller.net/apply-online](http://beta.gavinmiller.net/apply-online).
 * Upon submission, the form spits out an error: Unknown column ‘text-4dfe5bbad21fb’
   in ‘field list’
 * Can you provide any suggestions?
 * Thanks in advance!

 * Could you run the database check under ‘advanced settings’ and paste the response?

 * I ran the check at the time and it passed.
 * Here’s what I’ve found through my own troubleshooting:
 * I was getting an error about exceeding row length when I first tried to create
   the form.
 * I dropped some fields and tried to create it and it went OK on first attempt.
   It looks like something is not getting fully inserted if the first attempt fails.
 * So by dropping the fields, I have a working form. I haven’t tried adding them
   back yet.

 * If you go to the advanced tab in the form editor you can change the field type.
   If you use `text NOT NULL` for some of your fields that should solve your problem.

 * Thanks for the input…I’m also having validation issues as well, which I understand
   may be due to the correct java script files not being included. Can you tell 
   me the location of these files and where the best place is to include them?
 * Thanks!

 * You could also make the ‘varchar (..)’ number smaller for the existing fields.
   The restriction is that the varchars can’t add up to more than 21,844. I guess
   it would be nice if there were a warning message rather than just a broken form.

 * The javasript for the user side is in js/userscripts.js, though this should be
   included as part of wp_head() already, and the generated scripts for validation
   appear in wp_footer().
