HTML form with submit button won’t got to permalink

  • Good Morning,

    Thank you for reading this. I am trying to make a HTML form with a submit button, which I would like to cause the current page to reload.

    On pressing the submit button I would like the page to reload itself:
    [ redundant link removed ]
    However, the following location is where it arrives:
    /

    I am not sure what to do to fix this. Can you give me some help with this?

    here is my form code:

    		<div class="create-note">
		<form action="https://alaskametrology.com/?page_id=167" method="get">
			<h3 class="headline headline--medium">customer address</h3>
			<label for="customer_name">customer name</label>
			<input class="new-note-title" name="customer_name" placeholder="business name ">
			<label for="address_1"></label>
			<input class="new-note-title" name="address_1" placeholder="street address 1 (default street address)">
			<label for="address_2"></label>
			<input class="new-note-title" name="address_2" placeholder="street 2 (optional)">
			<label for="city"></label>	
			<input class="new-note-city" name="city" placeholder="city">			
			<input class="new-note-city" name="workorders_workorder_number" placeholder="state">			
			<input class="new-note-city" name="workorders_workorder_number" placeholder="zip">	
			
			<hr>
			<h3 class="headline headline--medium">contact person</h3>
			<label for="recieved-date">person name</label>		
			<input type=input class="new-note-title" name="workorders_estimate_number" placeholder="name">
			<label for="city"></label>	
			<input class="new-note-city" name="city" placeholder="phone number">
			<label for="city"></label>	
			<input class="new-note-city" name="city" placeholder="email">
			
			<hr>
			<h3 class="headline headline--medium">special notes</h3>
			<textarea class="new-note-title" name="workorder-note" placeholder="specific notes and instructions for this customer"></textarea>
			
			<input type="hidden" name="customers_id" value="<?php echo $my_customers_id; ?>">
			<input type="hidden" name="action" value="create_new_thingy">
			<input type="submit" class="submit-note" value="create new customer">
			<a class="btn btn--orange" href="#" onClick="history.back();return false;">cancel</a>
		</form>
		</div>

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    While troubleshooting this fiasco, I found the .htaccess file.

    I edited the file to include;

    # BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress

    After saving the file, I confirmed it was updated. I returned to the permalinks settings in my wp-admin, and clicked “save changes”.
    Afterward I looked at the .htaccess file, and it had been reverted to the previous contents…

    Anyone know what might be happening here?

    I have restored .htaccess to the code shown above and then changed the permissions to r–r–r–.

    the .htaccess is nolonger being overwritten, but this has not fixed my permalinks symptoms.

    I changed all the names of my input fields to unusual names to avoid using someone elses key word, but that also did not fix the isses.

    next I added a hidden field:
    <input type="hidden" name="page_id" value="167">
    and that let the page reload.

    I do not understand these frustrating time killers.
