Hidden field

  • Hi,

    I have used your plugin and must say it’s been fantastic.

    I have a question.
    I have set a group with an empty text field and I’m trying to show the default alert and redirect to a specific website when that field is NOT EMPTY.
    Is that possible?

    [group group-387]<label>[hidden text]</label>[/group]

    I’m not 100% sure what you are trying to do, but does this help?: https://conditional-fields-cf7.bdwm.be/conditional-redirect/

    If not, please set up your form here >https://conditional-fields-cf7.bdwm.be/form-tester/ and share the link back here so I can understand what you want to do and try to fix your form.

    Thank you @jules-colle,

    That will not help as it will redirect only if that button is chosen.

    I just want to have a group that is hidden to human eyes and if bots fill it up then on submit I want to redirect them without sending the form.

    Most bots are smart enough to not fill out invisible fields. With the current javascript support of modern browsers it’s pretty trivial for a bot to just check if a field is visible or not. So I assume most bots will leave the value blank. If you are looking for anti-spam solutions I think you’d be better off using the captcha functionality included in Contact Form 7. If that doesn’t work for you, you could make the form a bit more complicated and use custom validation to determine if the filled out fields are what you expect a human to fill in. I think using conditional fields for this purpose is just adding more complexity without a desired result. If you could give me the details of your form and tell me what kind of traffic you would like to block specifically, I might be able to help you decide on a strategy.
