In reply to: [Fast Secure Contact Form] Reset button not clearing fieldsJumping from Firefox over to Explorer, pretty much the same:
Reset button works on Form1 without entering CAPTCHA. Proceeding to Form2, Reset button does not work — with or without entering CAPTCHA. The pop-ups do appear, asking if I really want to reset. Answer is yes but then it will not execute the reset. Form3 behaves same as Form2 — Seems that Reset only works on the form that is Not pre-populated.Next session will test other plugins, not so many, pretty basic, no cache on host. Set browser caches to 0. Also forgot to note, it is a multiuser site subdomain.
Many thanks for considering this blip.

In reply to: [Fast Secure Contact Form] do not receive email from FS contact formsHmmm, responded to your statement “do not receive emails when a form is submitted”. Which I took to mean the form may be sending the email but your personal email box, although receiving other email, even email straight from your website email account, is not receiving the ones generated via FSCF. Which is exactly what happened to me.
Hope answers for your situation come soon.
I’m avoiding WP 3.9 until more plugin updates come through.Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Fast Secure Contact Form] do not receive email from FS contact formsThe blacklist check was a separate, followup item, not a substitute for the first. Email host/receivers maintain their own lists, which may or not match the blacklists we can see. Hope you can find some email delivery failure messages. Good luck.

In reply to: [Fast Secure Contact Form] Multiple Forms to One EmailHi chetmanly, a possible workaround: Are you good with Excel, and maybe Word, List Merge? If you have the “Contact Form DB” plugin to capture your FSCF data into a database, it is so easy to export a .csv file from the db. Then manipulate it elsewhere until a better solution comes along. Excel>Word>List Merge can be somewhat automated but, true, a pain. Access might be better, I just don’t have it. Maybe others? Not so practical if you must process each arrival instantly, and/or have high volumes.

In reply to: [Fast Secure Contact Form] do not receive email from FS contact formsI had same problem, was not receiving email when testing FSCF.
In my case: Checked the “sent from” email box that was used on the contact form. Found email message “Mail delivery failed: returning message to sender”. Inside that message near the top found “SMTP error from remote mail server after MAIL FROM:<1234@abcd.com> SIZE=2236: host mx2.mindspring.com [222.66.111.222]: 550 IP 99.111.111.22 is blocked by EarthLink. Go to earthlink.net/block for details” [have altered the actual IP numbers]. Went to earthllink.net/block for details :”… forward the bounced email to blockedbyearthlink@abuse.earthlink.net with the subject: Blocked <your email server’s IP address> …”. So I forwarded the failure message to earthlink with “Blocked 99.111.111.22” in the subject line. *** They cleared it almost instantly ***Then I added all committee members to the email list — and all received copies of the contact form just fine. (Various email hosts, don’t know if they would have originally been blocked or not.)
Further advice was to check blackmail lists for your domain (mine was not there). Used several lookup sites, search for “domain blacklist” etc. If blacklisted, follow that trail.
Maybe this experience will help your particular situation.
Next day, using phpMyAdmin, I saved all content of options, widget_text to a text file for safekeeping, then deleted all from options, widget_text.
In WordPress, created some new text widgets by copying selected code from the text file I had just saved. Widgets worked great, no re-inventing code!
Back at phpMyAdmin, examined the new options, widget_text.
Compared the before and after serialization strings:
Old: a:5:{i:2;a:3:{s:5:”title”;s:0:””;s:4:”text”;s:996:”
New: a:3:{i:2;a:3:{s:5:”title”;s:0:””;s:4:”text”;s:974:”The closing string at the end remained the same:
Old: “;s:6:”filter”;b:0;}s:12:”_multiwidget”;i:1;}
New: “;s:6:”filter”;b:0;}s:12:”_multiwidget”;i:1;}Thus I may have been able to recover all original text widgets by copying original material back to options, widget_text, and then changing the first number in the a: string from 5 to 3. Or, it may be more complicated than that but the method might be worth a try for someone with dozens of text widgets to recover. Myself, not that many, so copy/paste looked like a quicker solution than more testing.
Very Happy to recover the text-widget codes!!!
Hope this helps someone else.Ok, I reinstalled s2member, activated it, went to General >Options. Oops you meant s2member >General Options. Set Deactivation Safeguards to No, Saved. Deactivated, uninstalled. All clear now.
Thank you.
Thank you for that catch!!!!
Moved the website Out of the SUBDIRECTORY.
No subdomains!Moved website out of the subdomain.
Now can save changes on the PayPal Options page without getting booted to the “page not found” page.
Again, odd only that s2Member page had the trouble saving changes.
Resolved….I’ll go with the uninstall/reinstall effort for now (tomorrow). On a shared server, not ready to deal with a local hosting.
Wait a minute — this could be the problem — is there a way to edit the IPN and PDT generated links to fix them? Repeat, we are installed in a subdirectory. s2Member generated IPN URL as http://xyz.com/xyz.com/?s2member_paypal_notify=1 It would be worth testing the removal of one of the occurrences of xyz.com … same for PDT link.
Your thoughts?
Thank you.It is not a plugin conflict. Before I torture myself (and others) with .htaccess rewrites… The s2member installation is new. It would be easier to uninstall, then reinstall, because saving changes to the “PayPal Options” page DID work at first. Being new with it, maybe I made a wrong setting somewhere.
So I’ll do the reinstall test.
But first — I already sent the IPN and PDT generated links to the club accountant. Will they regenerate the same as before, or can I reinsert the previously generated ones, so I don’t have to tell the accountant to redo his part?Thank you.
The permalink setting is “Post name” example: http://xyz.com/sample-page/ . RE-saved permalink setting, no improvement. I’ll check for plugin conflict. Odd that it would be just that one set of PayPal options that won’t save. We are installed in a subdirectory so may have to revisit .htaccess rewrites….? Thanks.

In reply to: [Fast Secure Contact Form] Custom Success (Redirect) Message?Something simple you have overlooked.
Under the Advanced tab, at the Redirect section:
Check “Enable redirect after the message sends.”
Set the number of seconds to wait before redirecting.
For Redirect URL: put the Full URL including the http:// of a PAGE you have created that contains whatever message you would like displayed.However, I am recently unable to have redirect to a thank-you page work at a new website. It does work nicely on my older website, though. It could be something with the new setup or whatever. I’ll have to work that out some future date.
