Sorry, looks like you will have to wait for Josh to respond then.

Cheers from Port Macquarie,

Hi makho2888,
I just checked the website and the form seems to be loading correctly here. Have you solved the problem at your end? I used Chrome browser on Windows 10 to check.

Cheers,
Terry

Will do, sorry about that!

Hi again Scott, looks like it was the ‘js combine’ option that was killing the plugin! All good now that I turned the option off. This might help others who have the same problem.

Terry

Hi Scott, thanks for your prompt and helpful reply! Yes, we are running Lite Speed cache plugin on the site, we currently have ‘load js defer’, ‘js minify’, ‘js combine’ and ‘js htpp/s push’ turned on, would any of those settings break the plugin?

Hi Ben, thanks for clarifying that for us. Looks like we will be using and recommending Page Builder by Site Origin from now on.
If you can’t at least include one or two page templates in a PAGE BUILDER plugin then it doesn’t say much for your business intentions.

Hi again,
Just a quick update to my previous post.

[1] You can add a plugin with tables called xxx_ipblcxxxx to the list of tables that PGC can’t delete. I am pretty sure that it is another security plugin that I installed, tried, and deleted, but the tables are still there and can’t be deleted.

[2] I have noticed that when PGC finds one of these tables it quits altogether and doesn’t try to delete any further tables that are checked.

Hope that helps with the debugging.

Vladimir,
You can add Wordfence to this list of plugins which Plugins Garbage Collector can’t clean out. I used Wordfence on all of my WP sites up until about six months ago when it started to conflict with another plugin I needed, so I deleted Wordfence from all of my sites.

When I run your plugin, I find well over a dozen tables, all with the prefix wp-wfxxxxxx and some of them have thousands of entries and take up 2-3mb! But when I select them all and hit ‘Delete Tables’, I get the following error message “Unknown table ‘luxurywa_wp1.wp_wfbadleechers’ ” which is the first of the tables on the list. If I re-run ‘Search None-WP Tables’ (that should be Non-WP, not None-WP by the way), all the wp_wfxxxxx tables are back again, so the plugin isn’t doing anything to them.

I have tried both v0.9.14 and the latest v0.9.15 with no difference. If you need any further information, let me know, I would be happy to help because this is a plugin that is badly needed!

Hi David,

I know that some form builders automatically add a submit button. I chose to make it an element as I wanted to be able to place the button anywhere

Yes, that isn’t a bad idea, but maybe you could put a message on the page somewhere reminding dummies like me that you will usually need a ‘submit’ button on a form if you want it to actually do anything. ??

Yes, I noticed the textfield behind the stars, but it wasn’t a major problem for me because that site is only a test and demo site. But it would be great if you could fix it up, just to improve the look.

Another one for the wish list is an option to format the phone number field differently — not all countries use the US format of (555)555-5555. Here in Australia we use a two digit state code as in (05)5555-5555.

And of course you have got the mobile phone (cell phone in the US) format of (5555)555-555 as well, so an option to set the format, or radio buttons listing all the options would be great. You already have a radio button listing the local and international formats, so maybe you could add the extra format options to that? Or maybe have a separate element for mobile phones like the phone number element but formatted for mobile phones?

Hi David,

A Dropdown in the tabs: Is this to jump to editing another form?

Yes, at the moment when you first click on the ‘Caldera Forms’ tab you get a list of available forms with a radio button to select the one you want to edit, or you have the option to click on the ‘New form’ button.

But once you have selected the form you want to edit, then finished editing it, the only way to edit another form is to go back to the ‘Caldera Forms’ tab and start all over again. If there was a dropdown menu at the top of screen, where you now have the Caldera Forms logo and header and the tabs for Feedback, General Settings and the Update button, it would make it easier to move straight into editing the next form without having to go back out to the ‘Caldera Forms’ tab and come back in again.

Incidentally, I discovered this the hard way because I set up all the forms that I needed on my local test site, got them working the way I needed, then copied the designs into the online test site. But I forgot to add the ‘Submit’ button to all three of the forms — and the forms don’t do much without a ‘submit’ button! ??

Hi David,
Consider it done! Both the multiple re-directs and star ratings work perfectly with the latest update (v1.0.2). If your viewers are interested, I have set up a demo feedback form on one of our demo sites at https://prototypes.portmaconlinedemos.com/feedback/

The form is active and should re-direct them to a negative or positive page when they click on the star rating and submit the form, so they can get the idea from there even though it is just a bare-bones setup.

A couple of things that you might like to think about for a future version, some sort of dropdown menu selection for forms in the main Caldera Forms dashboard — at the moment when I have finished making or editing a form it is necessary to click on the main Caldera Forms link, then select a form from the radio buttons. Maybe a dropdown menu across the top where the tabs are now would help.

The ability to export/import a complete form would definitely make our job easier, rather than having to construct new forms from scratch for each client.

And the ability to ‘favourite’ certain fields, like First Name, Last Name, etc, would be great as well. I have seen this executed in another contact form plugin, but can’t remember which one at the moment (Old-Timers’ Disease!).

But a great addition to an already great plugin, deserving of five stars already!
Terry

Hi David,
Thanks for the prompt and helpful reply! Yes, a radio button sequence would do the trick for now, but a star rating field would be an awesome addition for a future version.

I will give your suggestion a go and see how we get on. Thanks again.

@marcel, last night one of my websites was hit 62 times in a couple of hours in an obviously concerted attack, some of the hits were simultaneous, three of them in one second, but so far it has withstood everything that these losers have thrown at it with no problems at all.

At the moment I am using the free version of Bulletproof Security along with the free version of Wordfence and they both ‘play nice’ together and between them they block just about every type of attack. But I will definitely be upgrading to the premium version of BPS this week on ALL my websites, both my own, and my client’s, that is how impressed I am with BPS in particlular — it hides the normally vulnerable files and folders that the hackers use to gain access through the ‘back door’, and Wordfence blocks the ‘front door’.

I highly recommend the combination, and can assure you that BPS does NOT “break WordPress”!

I can confirm that BPS DOES work fine with WP 3.5 and 3.5.1 – I have BPS running on well over a dozen websites with no problems, and all websites made it through the recent wave of hack attempts unscathed, even though all websites were inundated with failed attempts. If I could, I would rate the plugin 6/5!
