    I’m running the latest version of FSCF, although my forms were originally set up in v.3. After a form is submitted, the browser does not display the “message sent” notification. Instead the user is temporarily shown the site’s 404 page before being redirected to the site’s home page as per my settings (I am using the full URL for the redirect.) This problem seems to have appeared after the v.4 updates.

    Any ideas on how to troubleshoot/correct this issue?

    Thanks,

    Robert

    See this post, read it and tell me if any of the solutions apply

    Do you have any custom post types?

    I’m running a fairly generic Genesis child theme and I don’t believe there are custom post types. I’ve tried to switch to a custom redirect page, but still receive the 404 before redirection. The 404 page has the same URL as my form page with the addition of #FSContact2 at the end. (The form I’m testing is form #2). Does this info help? https://www.seedscrc.org/start-a-case/start-a-mediation-case-referral/

    Check these possible causes and let me know what you find

    The theme you are using could be causing it
    Do this as a test:
    In Admin, click on Appearance, Themes.
    Temporarily activate your theme to a WP default one…
    “Twenty Thirteen” (default for WP 3.6, 3.7)

    It does not cause any harm to your WP to temporarily change the theme, test if the errors went away, and then and change the theme back.
    Does it work properly with a default WP theme?
    If it does, then the theme you are using is the cause. Use a different theme or report the errors to the theme developer.

    Maybe another plugin is conflicting
    Look on the Admin – Plugins – menu.
    Temporarily Disable (not uninstall) all your other plugins.
    Did the problem you were having go away? If yes, Activate each of the plugins, one by one, to determine which one conflicts. Test if the problem goes away after activating each plugin one at a time. This way you can determine which plugin was causing the problem. Once you determine a plugin is conflicting, check the plugin version to be sure it is compatible with your version of WP. Sometimes plugins are no longer updated, then new WP versions come out and the plugin will generate errors or no longer function as intended. Report any problems you find to the plugin author.

    Try some of these settings one by one
    – disable redirect setting
    – enable redirect, with setting the redirect URL to #
    – enable redirect, with setting the redirect URL to a full URL thank you page with redirect time of 0

    Setting the redirect to the full URL thank you page with a redirect time of 0 cleared up the 404 error.
