    My log just fills up non-stop with this… line after line after line….

    Hi @sparky672,

    That line is https://github.com/yikesinc/yikes-inc-easy-mailchimp-extender/blob/3662c6593aa1bb4286781214891d26de2e947695/public/partials/shortcodes/process_form_shortcode.php#L424

    Do you have AJAX disabled for that form?

    I don’t even see a setting for disabling Ajax for the form. EDIT: I found the setting for Ajax. It was already set to “Yes”.

    The errors are triggered by nothing more than loading the page that contains the form.

    Hi @sparky672,

    It’s in the right sidebar on the edit form page. The warning is saying that it’s checking for the value of the “ajax” setting, but that value isn’t defined.

    I found it. It was already set to “Yes”.

    So I think I found the actual problem. The form did not have a name. The box for “Form Name” (The title of this signup form.) was completely empty. I don’t know how that’s possible… maybe my client got in there and accidentally deleted?

    I entered a name and the errors went away. Not sure how that’s related to the Ajax though or if you can make it fail more gracefully if name is missing.

    Hi @sparky672,

    Glad you figured it out.

    It’s just a PHP notice, not an actual error. If you find the log messages bothersome and would like to investigate further, you’re welcome to open a pull request addressing them.

    Thanks,
    Jon

    Correct. But since the form is on the home page, the log was just endlessly filling up.

    Thank you for the prompt response!
