The recent Gutenverse Form plugin update to version 3.0.0 created multiple clones of a Form Action I created before the update. Before version 3.0.0, I had two Form Actions: one for capturing email addresses and one for visitor contacts. The email capturing form (Form ID 822) was used in three different patterns (i.e. 3 different form builders were all using the same form, ID 822)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After the plugin was updated to 3.0.0, clones of Form ID 822 were created for each pattern it’s used in. So I ended up having 4 identical forms, each have a different Form ID (822 and 3 other ones).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When I tried to update the Form Titles of one of the clones, instead of updating the existing form, I received the following error message:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nForm Action Required<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This form action does not exist on this site. Create a new local form action so this form builder can work properly.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
And \u201cCreate Form Action\u201d appeared at the bottom of the error message. When I clicked \u201cCreate Form Action\u201d to assign a form to the form builder, a new form was created.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So now I end up with even more forms, all essentially identical (clones) except for the Form ID.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The patterns\/form builders that are supposedly linked to some of these clones continue to display the above error message \u201cForm Action Required\u201d. I can see a flash of Connected Form Action settings panel before the error message \u201cForm Action Required\u201d appears almost immediately afterwards and blocks the settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The patterns\/form builders with this problem were created from duplicates of the stock newsletter sign-up patterns and templates (e.g. Gutenverse Home News) that came with the theme; I then made modifications to the duplicates to suit my needs and styles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The newly created forms no longer send me notifications emails after submission. The forms I created prior to the 3.0.0 update are still sending me notifications of form submissions. I have WP Mail SMTP plugin installed and activated and it appears to be working.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I now have several orphaned forms I would like to clear out of my database. but I can’t find a way to delete a form unless it’s through the Connected Form Action settings. But if the Connected Form Action settings block is not shown, I have no way to delete any form actions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
