Within Elementor I clicked the up-arrow at the Update button and selected “Save Draft.” After this I selected Exit from the pull-down menu. I’ve always assumed that selecting Exit and returning to WordPress without saving would cause all my changes to be lost so I couldn’t see how I would save a draft from WP while editing in Elementor. Before using Elementor, I used to save drafts as you describe, but not since installing this plug-in. If, after making changes in Elementor and then Exiting, will the changes be preserved or will they be immediately lost?

Clearly there is something important that I’m not understanding about how Elementor works with WP.

There also appears to be only one Save Draft option withing Elementor. Is there a way to save more than one so that various changes can be tried and saved, allowing one or the other to be picked later and then Updated to the real world?

Well this is interesting. Here is what I see on my All Pages page:

https://cjsa.com/misc/elementor_01.png

Notice that no drafts are shown, either at the top, or for the Dentist page which is what I saved as a draft. However, when I pick Edit with Elementor for that page, it loads with an overlay note that says (approximately), “This is just a draft. Play around and then Publish when done.” So my work was there, but it was not apparent from the main screens. This is with Elementor 3.23.2 on WordPress 6.2.6.

This is fine now that i know what’s happening, but does this seem like proper operations to you?

Thanks for the reply. Very much appreciated.

Thanks very much for the feedback. In the meantime, needing to get the client’s site working, I switched over to WPForms and started using the Google reCAPTCHA. After some struggling, I got this to work.

I still have Contact Form 7 and Really Simple CAPTCHA running on my other site with no problems.

Again, thanks for the help.

Following up to my own message:

I have no explanation for what happened, but I was reloading my webpage and noticed that the form was all screwed up. There was text inside one of the name fields and the confirmation was permanently displayed as though it was regular text!

I decided to start over and cleared all fields from the form and rebuilt it from scratch. This time everything went smoothly and the captcha tag did get added to the form display.

Now the only problem was that invisible captcha verification failed every time I tried to sent the form contents. I reverted to the v2Checkbox mode and now this properly displayed and worked!

So everything now seems to be working. If you want to comment on why you think the original form got corrupted or why the v2invisible captcha fails, I’d be interested in hearing about that. In the meantime, I’ve got something that works.

By the way, I replaced Really Simple Captcha with Math Captcha and the spinning problem continues, so I think this is a problem with Contact Form 7 and not the Captcha routine.

As I predicted, the spinning is back on Firefox, so I’m pretty sure the problem is really browser-independent.

It’s a custom theme. The other active plugins are:

Admin Menu Editor
Disable Gutenberg
Disable Site
Duplicate Page
Enable Media Replace
SEO Ultimate
UpdraftPlus

I see that Contact Form 7 just pushed out an update to 5.1.7. I updated and retested. At this moment, on Linux, the form completes properly on Firefox, but is still hanging on Opera and Chromium. This is after clearing the cache before testing. I suspect that at a later time, it would also hang on Firefox as i have observed in recent testing.

Jerry:

I don’t think that random user comments will display an avatar. What the plugin does is allow users that register on your site to add an avatar to their profile page. If they do that, then the avatar is displayed along with comments. If you are allowing unregistered users to comment, then no avatar will be displayed. maybe there is a plugin that grabs public “gavatars”, but I have not looked into that as yet. If you discover something, let us know.

Fair enough, Jake. Now that I understand how it works, I really have no problem with the widget. I was just a bit confused for a moment.

Anyway, thank you for providing this essential addition to the standard WordPress configuration. It is greatly appreciated.

Following up to previous post: When I attempt to configure the settings and set two secondary text areas for pages, the above message is display along with the following:

Thanks you for the suggestion. I installed this plugin and it works. There is one minor bug in that the uploaded picture does not display on the profile page until the Update User button is pressed, but other than that, it appears to work fine.

I really appreciate the quick and useful response.
