Duplicate autocomplete-attribute generates error in w3 validator

    Hi,

    we have the problem, that some code/plugin on our website already adapts form-inputs before they are passed to your plugin. Among other changes, a autocomplete-attribute is already added to the comment-field before you add your own autocomplete=”new-password”, what leads to the fact, that the same attribute is on the same element twice, what the w3 validator marks as an error.
    I haven’t found any simple way to workaround this issue, as there seem to be no hooks/filters included in your plugin.
    Do you know a solution to this issue? Or do you plan to improve your compatibility with other code/plugins in near future?

    Thanks in advance
    and best regards

    Hi @spinndevs,

    unfortunately this is a complex regular expression adding our honeypot, which is non-optional. Therefore there is no filter hook to change this behavior.

    Do you know *which* code/plugin is doing this? Maybe you can solve this issue on the other side?

    If we can help to fix this, I’m more than happy to do this, but we need more info about the steps to reproduce this. If the code/plugin is widely used we will try to find a solution!

    All the best

    Hi Torsten,

    Thanks for your reply!
    Turned out, it’s our own code, so we fixed it by not adding the attribute in advance to the input when your plugin is active. Fair enough.

    Thank you,
    Best regards
