Code changes needed to make cforms II work over https

You probably figured it out by now, but cforms seems to get the site url from the general settings page when it is activated. If you just changed your site to use SSL, de-activate and re-activate the cforms plugin. It worked for me.

Hi tmuka, I tried your suggestion. I changed the Blog address (URL) to https://3packet.com and reactivated the cforms plugin. THe form still hangs on https:// unfortunately. I tried it with changing the Blog address (URL) back to https://3packet.com but not reactivating cforms. That’s its current state.

More info:

I noticed I get this error in ie8 (the yellow error triangle in the left side of the status bar):

I figured it out.

First, I went into wordpress general settings and changed the wordpress and blog address to https://(site). Then I went to cforms and went to the exact form and updated it (update button on top right side). Then I went back to general settings and rechanged it back to https://.

Then I changed the cforms_root line as referenced here in entry 4:
https://www.deliciousdays.com/cforms-forum/troubleshooting/https-problems/

Then the captcha and submit button wouldn’t work, so I went into plugin editor -> cforms -> js/cforms.js and changed the sajax_uri variable to either “https://(fullpath)” or ‘/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/cforms/lib_ajax.php’;

The path may or may not include /wordpress for you depending on your path.

My website is at https://3packet.com

Good luck all!
