 * My team ran into an issue with a WPForms form today that doesn’t seem to be documented
   very well online, so I’m posting the solution here in case it helps anyone.
 * Our site was loading a WPForms form via one of ElementorKit’s “WPForms” elements.
   Sometimes it worked fine, but other times it was running into a mixture of the
   following issues:
    - The conditional fields weren’t appearing even when their conditions were true
    - Submitting the form would sometimes take you back to a random step without
      any visible errors
    - Submitting the form would sometimes display this error: “The form could not
      be submitted due to a security issue”
 * We tried disabling our caching plugin, flushing the server cache, and disabling
   Varnish, but none of those helped.
 * Instead, it turned out to be a conflict with Elementor’s element cache feature.
   The issue can be fixed by either disabling the element cache feature globally(
   Elementor settings > Performance) or by disabling it on the affected element 
   in the Elementor editor (Element > Advanced > Layout > Cache Settings > Inactive).
