Break with Gravity Forms and W3TC

I don’t have a solution, but I am having the same problem and I suspect it’s more a problem with BackupBuddy. First it hung on the W3TC cache files and I excluded them (not ideal, but a troubleshooting step). With cache files excluded, BuB hung on two Captcha forms which didn’t even exist in the FTP’s file structure. Going to try another backup solution; you might as well.

Hey jmek,

thanks, but I don′t use BackupBuddy..

It seems that this captcha isn′t good to use with caching-tools like W3TC, so I erase it. To exclude any page for a captcha isn′t an option for me..

I′ve insert 3 own making Honeypot′s and one field that needs an exactly value. Description to this field is a little quiz like: Insert result of three plus 4 as a number. Here the user needs to input: 7

After create this fields, I connect the appearance of the input-button (inside the form-settings) with this fields. That means, if one of the Honeypot-fields (position: absolute; z-index: -5; and display:none; and visibility:hidden; – on this way they are not reachable for human customers) get any value, the Button disappear and the form can′t be sent. And if the other field get another value than 7, the button disappear, too.

That works pretty fine for me. Since 5 days no spam, one plugin fewer and it′s cacheable without any sort of issues.. If you get spam after a while on this way, just change the quiz..

Hope that helps you, too..

Very clever approach. Thanks for sharing.

You′re welcome.. Hope it helps you and other users..
