Checkboxes not showing if they are checked or not

    Note: I am testing this form. When it is working the form url will be changed.

    Hopefully someone can answer my question. I created a form in html forms, I am also using wp smtp mail on the site because I couldn’t get an old form to work. At this point I can probably remove that if it is interfering, but I don’t think it is. I have the resulting e-mail coming in with all my labels on them. But for the ones that are checkboxes, it just says My Label: checkbox. That does not indicate if it is checked or not. I’m still testing and as I write this I’m wondering if maybe it will only say checkbox if it is checked. I’ll try that now.
    Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

    Update: My thinking is correct. If it’s checked it says checkbox, if not checked it’s blank. Is there a way to change that so it says something checked or not checked, or even just checked would be fine. OMG, I just figured that out as well. I need to change the ID of the checkboxes to checked I think. I love it when I answer my own questions. I’m going to test that now.

    So, I changed the following
    <input type=”checkbox” name=”Time_Gravity” value=”Checkbox”> to
    <input type=”checkbox” name=”Time_Gravity” value=”Yes”> And I was correct, now the email comes in saying Time Gravity: Yes if checked and nothing after Time Gravity: if not checked. Is there a way to have it show No if not checked?

    Hi,

    Yes, that is correct! If it’s checked it will have the value you set, else it won’t have a value.

    The name of the checkbox also needs to be unique else the last occurrence will overwrite any earlier occurrence.

    Kind regards,

    Hello, i have the same issue, after the last update to 5.5.1 the checkboxes doesn’t show in the page, y have entered css codes and look everywhere but can’t find an option.

    The checkboxes are there and you can select but can’t see them, anyone have a solution for this.

    Thanks

    Hey Mike,

    It’s better to make your own thread instead of replying to an old thread. Even if your issue may seem the same, often it isn’t. If you make a new thread for this also please include a link to where we can see and test the form you created. Thanks!
