Caldera form is returning code after submission!

I get the same issue in a custom theme i’ve created. I can see that the form data is posted to the current page instead of posting using an ajax request. I can’t see any JavaScript on the page that ties in with Caldera forms so I assume I need to include a js file somewhere for this or caldera puts the JavaScript in an element that is not enabled?

Please can you let us know how Caldera handles the ajax request and where the JavaScript for this is

@rish30990, If you haven’t worked it out yet, I just have.
Basically, you need to make sure your header includes wp_header() and your footer includes wp_footer(). These functions will pull in the files you need for your plugins.

That is correct. This is needed to get the ajax submittions to work. The problem is that the fallback isn’t working.

But we have fixed this in the next update coming soon.

Ok but my theme already have these functions in header and footer. But still form is returning above code on submission.

Mike tell me, you have latest version of caldera or older. Please reply and tell me your version of caldera. thx ??

My theme has them(genesis) and is doing the same thing.
seems to work fine if logged into admin (just thought that might be useful to know).

I was having an issue where the redirect processor was sending json back to the browser and displaying the JSON that looks like it’d be consumed by an AJAX request.

I disabled the check mark on “General Settings” labeled “Enable Ajax Submissions. (No page reloads)” and the redirect issue doesn’t happen.

This may be a workaround for cases w/ simple forms which don’t do postbacks until the form is submitted.

I just pushed v1.3.5 which includes a fix that I hope fix this problem.
can you give it a try and let me know?

David,

I found this thread because I was having the same problem as the others. I didn’t notice that the plugin had an update available. So I updated and the form submits now. But, it doesn’t use AJAX. So went looking for a solution to that problem and found this post.

https://calderawp.com/2016/01/caldera-forms-1-3-2-ajax/

Which says:

Because nothing is 100%, when using AJAX submissions, if the submission returns a 404 error, Caldera Forms will try again, without using AJAX. This will cause a page refresh, but it will work. This fallback shouldn’t be necessary, but it is there, just in case.

What I can’t find is anything to help troubleshoot the “Why?” of the AJAX submission failure. I think it’s related to the issue above because I’m using a single page “Coming Soon” theme where the author may have left out something that would normally be included in a theme. I just can’t find it. Here is the theme:

Any ideas? I can probably solve this problem by working this up in twentyfifteen but I’d like to know what a page must have in order for CF to work.

Thanks,
Swani
