 * For the nth time, thanks much again!
    Executed downgrade of WordPress to version
   5.4 and now it works fine. Disabled automatic updates so that hopefully I won’t
   have surprises in the future. As long as WP version is compatible with browswers
   I guess.
 * Thanks

   either see any entry or the function to download the report

 * Oh that’s really very kind!
    And…yes… my bad, we are talking about backslash “\”,
   not slash “/” As a note between previous and current message I went to the dentist.
 * Now I have checked both suggestions:
    1) start from original lib_email.php and
   add backslash where needed (following guideline from your fix 2) upload 14.12.4.
   zip into wordpress deactivate previous cformII 14.12.3 activate cformII in file
   manager rename folder “cforms2-14.12.4” in “cformsII”
 * Unfortunately when I submit the entry I have the same result: browser switches
   to an “empty” page.
 * Probably I will really need to move to the newest version of cformsII to fix 
   the issue (?).
    The reason for which I wanted to keep v14.12.3 is to have the
   possibility to use field {ID} which has removed starting form cformsII Version
   14.4 (see topic [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bringing-id-of-form-submission-in-autoconfirmation/#post-9681114](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bringing-id-of-form-submission-in-autoconfirmation/#post-9681114))
 * Or… if you know any alternate plugin that has the same field {ID} I can consider
   to change plug in.
 * So far many thanks
    Sorry that I didn’t give you satisfaction as user 🙁

 * Ok, got it thanks.
 * So I went into File Manager through CPanel
    in directoy /public_html/wp-content/
   plugins/cforms2/ I have been searching for a file named “email.php” which is 
   not available so I have decided that “lib_email.php” was a suitable candidate
   I made the modifications from above link (copied and pasted all the modified 
   lines not to miss anything but I have noticed that actually the change is </w
   > –> </w/> several times).
 * Old file renamed *_old
    New file uploaded to the directory. Retried to submit
   the form and this time I do not have the error but web site simply switches to
   another empty page and I do not get any mail notification.
 * I wonder if I should give this up. 🙁
    Meanwhile thanks for your patience and
   support. 🙂
 * Thanks

 * Once again thanks for detailed feedback!
 * Oh I see, several options:
 * – update cformII: I shouldn’t update cformsII otherwise I would loose field {
   ID} which has removed starting form cformsII Version 14.4
 * So choices remain:
 * – downgrade PHP to v7.2 (unsupported)
    not sure how I can do that. I have been
   looking for the procedure since today morning 🙁
 * – backport your fix:
    this means editing <Email.php> and merging your fixes =
   green part replaces red part?
 * Many thanks

 * Hi bgermann,
    I have updated wordpress to version 5.8 and checked again cformsII
   submission. Unfortunately I still face the same behavior.
 * Not sure if there is anything else you could suggest me to check?

 * Hi bgermann,
    thanks for your feedback!
 * Last time I successfully used the feature was back in december 2019.
    By that
   time I had WP 5.5.1 (checking automatic update email notifications). Therefore
   the feature was still working fine with WP older than 5.5.
 * I can see PHP version is 7.3.28.
 * You say “Also, WordPress 5.7 updated the PHPMailer version from 6.2.0 to 6.5.0,
   which includes an interesting change in 6.3.0…”
    so probably if I will update
   to WordPress 5.8 (currently available) this will bring in the update from PHPMailer
   6.3.0, right? 🙂

 * …and 14.13.3 is back again and needed feature has been re-tested and working 
   fine.
 * If I may, I’d ask a final question in order to prevent unintentional upgrade 
   of CformsII plug-in:
    as it seems that the plug-in was automatically upgraded,
   is there any field you recommend to check?

 * Hi bgermann,
    thanks much for your answer!
 * Could you please suggest any alternate solution for achieving the same result?
   
   If you think there is no way, is there the chance to roll back to previous cformII
   version?
