 * Thanks for the info. I increased the size of the page to accommodate all my sheets
   and I no longer get duplicate copies. When a copy is made it is only one copy.
   This is a good workaround. Thanks.

 * First, I never said that non-admin users use live search. I used the words pre-
   fill or autofill. Live search used by admins gives me a list to choose from. 
   Pre-fill/auto-fill fills in only the user’s data. I understand the difference.(
   BTW, please do not use bold letters. That is considered screaming. We are a customer
   of 7 years.)
 * The info you provide about billing_phone was useful. We are not a Woo Commerce
   site. We do not use billing_phone. We have custom fields for our users phone 
   numbers. We also do not have a registration form. The admin enters the user’s
   data including the phone numbers for the custom fields.
 * I did a database dump and you are correct in that the billing_phone field for
   the user who had the problem was incorrect. I’m not sure how the billing_phone
   field got set but there are probably other random errors in that field or it 
   is blank since the administrator does not set it.
 * We can fix the existing issue by scrubbing the database and copying our custom
   field to billing_phone. But since are not a Woo Commerce site, it would be work
   done just to get the signup phone field right. Also since it’s not a field we
   are able to set using the normal new user entry, we’d have to upload the billing_phone
   separately.
 * Since we are not a Woo Commerce site it would be useful to be able to specify
   which field from which to extract the phone number for the signup. I realize 
   that this would be a new capability but it would be very helpful for us.

 * Only the admin is copying sheets. The event type is “ongoing”. Only a single 
   copy.
 * I’ll refrain from sending a video as I need to protect my data. I can try disabling
   plugins. It’ll take some time although I don’t this is another plugin doing this.
 * I just ran a test. Made a copy of a sheet. It made duplicate copies. The copies
   span two pages. Each time I switched pages, it refreshed the page and created
   another copy! If I clean up the url before I change page, it doesn’t create a
   duplicate.
 * I use the plugin’s forward and back arrows at the bottom right to navigate between
   sheets. I think you should clear the ‘copy’ parameters (or any other non-navigation
   related parameters) from the URL before you execute the page switch.

 * No one is sharing accounts. Each has their own. We only allow logged-in users
   to access this tool. Live search uses the WP User database only.
 * The problem happened when the admin was signing someone up. Live search is enabled.
   When the name is chosen out of the list of users presented, it fills in the info
   correctly except for the phone number. The phone number that appears is that 
   of another user with the same last name.
 * The problem also can happen when a logged-in non-admin user enters their own 
   data. They type their name and the pre-fill puts in their data with the wrong
   phone number. I had gotten this complaint once before and was not able to figure
   out what was wrong. But this time I looked deeper and found that the problem 
   happens if that person has the same last name as someone else. Note: It doesn’t
   happen for all users with same last names. But when it happens it is consistent,
   i.e. it is very reproducible.
 * A volunteer can correct the error when filling in the form for themselves because
   of course they know their own phone number and can see the error. But an admin
   would not be able to know the phone number was wrong unless they looked the user
   up in the database, which defeats the purpose of the live-search.
 * I think there is a bug in the live search or autofill.

 * Thanks for your response. The short-code for the sign-up sheets sits on a page
   by itself which is not refreshed automatically. And I am not clicking page reload.
   The duplicate copy happens immediately. Sorry you are not able to reproduce it
   because it’s very reproducible for me. Like I said, it’s been happening for a
   while and I just delete the duplicates to move forward.

 * Is the ‘add to icalendar’ missing link fixed? We still do not see it. We see 
   the ‘add to google calendar’ but not the ‘add to icalendar’ link. This has been
   missing for months. I saw a thread where it was acknowledged as a bug and have
   been waiting for a fix.

 * I would also be interested in this enhancement. We have some older members who
   don’t go on-line and for whom a printed directory would be great. I was going
   to ask for this capability but I thought it might be out of the scope for a plug-
   in. We would be willing to pay for an add-on for this. Am interested in the response
   to this feature request.

 * [7 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/password-is-not-reset-if-link-is-sent/#post-10642584)
 * More background on this issue. We use s2member for user management. When we use
   s2member and go into a user’s data entry to reset a single user’s password, the
   password is set to a new auto-generated password, nullifying the old one. This
   is important. Then the user receives an email with a link that they can use to
   set a new password of their choosing. Your plugin sends the link. But it does
   not nullify the old password. So a user can simply ignore the mail and continue
   to use their old password. Not good! This should be fixed.

 * The control character is a line feed. I will send you a copy of the text we load
   into our database as well as a notepad++ screen showing the control character.
