I’d love to use this plugin on my sites, but I do need the ability to moderate as well – my commenters can be kind of unruly sometimes.
Please add this feature if you can, thanks!
Gotcha, it wouldn’t be the first time that Akismet didn’t play nice with a form plugin. Thanks for the reply!
Thanks, that DID fix it, but I’ve got the same issue as the OP – the textboxes are now displaying their default answers.I saw that you’re looking to fix this, but wanted to expand on it in case you hadn’t noticed yet – it also does this for the anti-spam question, so that the correct answer to the question is already in the textbox, kind of defeating the purpose a bit (especially for me, since I sort of cheat and use it both as an anti-spam measure and also a “check to see if the person using the form is actually reading the submission guidelines” measure).
Question: upgrading the plugin completely wiped all my old forms (both the forms and all submissions are gone). If you’re going to be tinkering with this more, should I even bother trying to remake the forms or will they get wiped again with the next upgrade?
I can’t give up Akismet for similar reasons (hundreds of spam attempts every day), and my submitters don’t read enough – they’d continue to hammer my server with resubmits even with a notice. If anyone knows of a good similar plugin that can play nice with Akismet, that’d be great.
It started for multiple people after the plugin upgrade, so I think it’s apparent that this is probably an issue related to the update, not our individual sites. Here’s hoping they’ll come up with a fix soon. I’ve had to remove the form because people were just going insane trying to submit over and over and over again to the point that it was getting out of hand =/
Identical issues to tekno23 and illustrata – the form technically works, but it doesn’t tell the person submitting that it’s completed the operation… thus resulting in me getting crazy amounts of the same submission while the person tries to get it to work. Started happening with the update for me as well. Here’s hoping you guys make a fix for this, my email inbox is getting hammered by people submitting each item upwards of 10 times trying to get it to ‘work’.
Actually already doing that in regards to the rejected user agents (found it in another thread), I’m more interested in why the part that I highlighted (the supposed function to allow them to switch back from the desktop version to the mobile version) doesn’t seem to exist. I can’t find anything that implies it’s a PRO only feature, but it sure isn’t showing up for me, which is why I’m wondering.
For now I’ve just told them not to switch from mobile to desktop if they’re not 100% sure that they won’t want to switch back, but given that I’m sure a good portion of them won’t actually listen to that, I’d like to solve this issue if only to quell the complaints that will keep coming otherwise.
Also, may I cheat and ask a second question here – looking at the PRO benefits, I can’t tell if there would be a way to make the comment section load in pages on mobile? Like, if a post has 100 comments, the mobile theme would split it into 4 pages of 25 comments? Apparently our comment sections are too big and make some people’s mobile browsers crash as is =P
Further clarification, just in case anyone saw this and thinks I’m just missing it…
By all accounts, this:
“We even automatically put a little snippet of code into your current desktop theme which will be shown only to iPhone, iPod touch, Android or BlackBerry touch mobile device visitors, giving them control to switch between the two themes easily.”
Does not actually exist. When mobile users switch to the normal theme, there is NO ability to switch back to mobile. I’m previewing it through Safari’s iPhone developer, and I don’t see any such sort of link. Is this actually only for PRO or something? Why is it missing?
