Then, I went back and activated the Minamaze_Pro- child theme that I had. And CRASH! The system threw fatal errors and I couldn’t get in to even swap that them out for say Twenty-Fifteen. My hosting company put back Twenty-Fifteen for me so I was up and running. * In the end, I deleted the child theme and recreated it from scratch. (Thank goodness for file backups). I restored the child theme files and am back up and running. * The short code calls now work the first time, and every time. * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [[Minamaze-Pro] undefined function thinkup_hook_header()](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/minamaze-pro-undefined-function-thinkup_hook_header/) * Thread Starter [scamrwordpressadmin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scamrwordpressadmin/) * (@scamrwordpressadmin) * [9 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/minamaze-pro-undefined-function-thinkup_hook_header/#post-7506998) * Honestly, I have no idea what could have caused the corruption, as all I did was swap out and try a different theme for testing purposes. * To resolve, I ended up wiping the child theme out and starting from scratch. Here’s a good reason to have backups….

I just deleted the validation error text. This stops the validation error from showing up. However, if I wanted to validate against properly formed phone# s or something, I could have a problem. For now, this workaround will suffice. * 2. I had to create a unique $fieldName for each contact form (hike sign up) and then create a unique filter for each hike, using that same $fieldName. I had to duplicate each for the unsubscribe function – again with unique $fieldNames. The function names also had to be unique, as do the filter names. * With a unique form & filter for each sign up and each unsubscribe (per hike), this works. But that’ll be upwards of 300 forms/filters for sign up and 300 forms/ filters for unsubscribe in a year. Lots of coding there, and not very maintenance friendly. * That said, the filters, when coded this way, work like a charm. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Plugin: Contact Form DB] Cannot redeclare is_already_submitted](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-contact-form-db-cannot-redeclare-is_already_submitted/) * Thread Starter [scamrwordpressadmin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scamrwordpressadmin/) * (@scamrwordpressadmin) * [9 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-contact-form-db-cannot-redeclare-is_already_submitted/#post-7470597) * Hello, * Just checking in to see if anyone else has run into this? It appears that in order to check for duplicate submissions by user name (some members share email so they aren’t unique), I need to do the following: * 1. Create a unique form for each hike a user might sign up for. That form must have a unique user name specific to that hike & form. 2. Create a unique filter for each hike that searches for that unique user name created in step #1. * We also need to allow users to unsubscribe to a hike, so I need to: * Redo steps 1 & 2 above for the unsubscribe action, creating new filters & unique field/form/function names for each. * We could have upwards of 300 hikes in a year – which means I’ll have 600 forms and 600 filters in a year. That’s a lot of coding! And, won’t make this site easy to hand off should someone else take over maintenance later on. * 1. What impact will all these filters have on the performance of the site? * and more importantly * 2. Is there a better way that I should be doing this? (catching dup submissions for sign up and unsubscribe for approx 300 individual hikes). * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Contact Form DB] How to stop duplicate form submissions by user name](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-stop-duplicate-form-submissions-by-user-name/) * Thread Starter [scamrwordpressadmin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scamrwordpressadmin/) * (@scamrwordpressadmin) * [9 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-stop-duplicate-form-submissions-by-user-name/#post-7464931) * Marking as resolved! * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Contact Form DB] How to stop duplicate form submissions by user name](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-stop-duplicate-form-submissions-by-user-name/) * Thread Starter [scamrwordpressadmin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scamrwordpressadmin/) * (@scamrwordpressadmin) * [9 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-stop-duplicate-form-submissions-by-user-name/#post-7464930) * Oh!

The form kicked back the “you have already registered…” message perfectly. It also kicked out a “Validation errors occurred. Please confirm the fields and submit it again”. I’m assuming that’s because the user had already registered – but how do I stop that message from appearing in this instance? * Thanks again! * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [Parent Theme Missing](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/parent-theme-missing-3/) * Thread Starter [scamrwordpressadmin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scamrwordpressadmin/) * (@scamrwordpressadmin) * [9 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/parent-theme-missing-3/#post-7437738) * Hi. I understand the support of the theme particulars itself. I just wanted to make sure that I had set the child theme up correctly. * Why both get_template_directory_uri() and get_stylesheet_directory_uri() return the same value seemed like a wordpress issue vs theme itself. But, I’m new at all of this. 🙂 So… Off to the theme developer I go…. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Contact Form DB] How to pass FORMNAME as variable](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-pass-formname-as-variable/) * Thread Starter [scamrwordpressadmin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scamrwordpressadmin/) * (@scamrwordpressadmin) * [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-pass-formname-as-variable/#post-7136729) * That worked like a charm! We will have too many hikes to effectively use the drop down selector – so what I did was create a landing page that held the report of hikers signed up, and passed in the name of the hike. For anyone else that might need to do this, here’s the code I used. * On the actual HIKE EVENT page, I displayed the list of hikers signed up as follows: `[ cfdb-table form="Dutchman Trail" class="hikersgoingclass" headers="your-name= Hiker Name,your-email=Email,your-phone=Phone,can-drive=Can Drive?,Num-hikers= Number of Hikers I Can Take" show="your-name,your-email,your-phone,can-drive, Num-hikers" limit="20" orderby="Submitted desc"][/cfdb-table]` * Then I included a button to take the users to the printable hikers list page, passing the hike name to the new page via the NAMEOFHIKE variable in the new page URL like this: `suncityanthemhikingclub.com/who-is-going/?nameofhike='Dutchman Trail'` * Here’s the full line of code: `Click For Printable List of Hikers` * The REPORT page code required that I strip the slashes out of the incoming NAMEOFHIKE. The report header uses the variable to identify the hike in question. This allows me to have one landing page that we can use for any hike. Here is that final code: * ```

HIKERS WHO HAVE SIGNED UP

FOR THE FOLLOWING HIKE

 

[cfdb-table form= class="hikersgoingclass" headers="your-name=Hiker Name,your-email=Email,your-phone=Phone,can-drive=Can Drive?,Num-hikers=Number of Hikers I Can Take" show="your-name,your-email,your-phone,can-drive,Num-hikers" limit="20" orderby="Submitted desc"] ``` * Thanks so much for all your help. Everything is working perfectly now. * Cheers Kathy Viewing 15 replies - 16 through 30 (of 32 total) [←](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scamrwordpressadmin/replies/?output_format=md) [1](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scamrwordpressadmin/replies/?output_format=md) 2 [3](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scamrwordpressadmin/replies/page/3/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scamrwordpressadmin/replies/page/3/?output_format=md)
