CFDB display form submission problems on a wordpress new page
-
First, I am a beginner! Thank you for your help in beginner language with simple examples. I have been searching for my own answers for two days. I know it is simple, which is frustrating me. So don’t laugh.
I have created a form in WordPress (all by myself and it is just right)
Next, I installed CFDB so that I could display the results of the form on another WordPress page for my clients to see in the form of a Professional Letter with each form cell separated into paragraphs – just like the form looks like.
But CFDB is making it into a list of words divided by commas. Try it. The site will open and give you two choices, Choose Fiction. Enter data(I just put random letters) in each cell and hit submit. A new page will open which should display the form as is with paragraph breaks between each cell but it just displays it all together divided by commas. https://www.querymachine.com
Here is the original code used:
‘[cfdb-value form=”Fiction Query” =”Greeting,<p></p> Title,<p></p> Hook,<p></p> Overview,<p></p> Bio,<p></p> Conclusion,<p></p> SIgnature,<p></p> Chapter” hide=”$_POST(param),$_GET(param),$_COOKIE(param),submit_time,Submitted,Submitted Login,Submitted From”]’Next is my 100th attempt when I had the bright idea to try adding paragraph and line breaks on my own. Didn’t work…
‘[cfdb-value form=”Fiction Query” =”
<p>Greeting,<p>
<p>
</p></p> Title,<p>
<p>
</p></p> Hook,<p>
<p>
</p></p> Overview,<p>
<p>
</p></p> Bio,<p>
<p>
</p></p> Conclusion,<p>
<p>
</p></p> SIgnature,<p>
<p>
</p></p> Chapter” hide=”$_POST(param),$_GET(param),$_COOKIE(param),submit_time,Submitted,Submitted Login,Submitted From”]’
Then, I read it might be in the CFDB options. So, I switched it around and now after hitting submit, it is displaying everything from the database. So, how do I make it stop that and only display the current submission?
So two questions:
1 How do I get my form submissions to display to look like the form divided into paragraphs with line breaks between each paragraph?
2 How do I get the display to only show the current submission to the form and not every past submission as well?I really have been trying to problem solve on my own using Google, forms, FAQ, hours or watching beginners code lessons, etc. I feel like I am making it worse. Therefore, I am coming to you for help. Pleeeeease do not tell me this is unrelated to WordPress and I need to seek the plug in for support because that is what I am trying to do here. If I am asking the wrong person for help again, please give me a link and tell me who to ask.
Thank you so much for helping a beginner. I know it may seem silly, but I have to start somewhere. Have a great day!
