• Getting this error: Contact Form Shortcode Error: Form 1 does not exist

    I had backed up all of the FS forms in the wp_options table because they had their settings overwritten. I removed all of them from the target database and re-inserted the rows from the source database. Everything came over fine and my settings were restored except for two FS forms, where I’m seeing this error instead of the form. So the shortcode is working but I guess the form doesn’t exist or is pointing to a non-existent form?

    Upon entering my FS Contact form settings area, whichever form I choose from the dropdown becomes erased with generic data, even though I’m not making any changes or saving them! I am hesistant to even enter the settings area because of this, when I entered Form 1, it automatically replaced with generic fields like name, email, etc. and renamed itself “New Form – 1”. I didn’t type that in or let alone save it. However, this form does now show up in the areas where I was getting the “Shortcode Error”, so I know the pointer is correct?

    Thanks

  • The options settings are rows in the wp_options database table.

    make sure to restore the global settings database rows at the same time as the forms rows.

    here is example of three forms database row names:

    fs_contact_global
    fs_contact_form1
    fs_contact_form2
    fs_contact_form3
