Are you sure you have your proper API key set? The only way I can replicate the error is by using an invalid API key.

Alternatively, after logging into your WordPress Admin, go to this URL, changing the needed info:

https://yourdomain.com/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=cf7-benchmark-getlists&apikey=your-api-key

Then reply back with what is displayed.

yeah, the issue with that is that I’d have to go back through now and edit all of the posts and pages that utilize this plugin otherwise it breaks those pages (unless I’m missing some code in your plugin that updates all instances of the shortcode when that option changes). I added my own filter for the jetpack shortcodes and removed the presentations item which works great. Hopefully this will help someone else in the future.

The conflict is actually Jetpack – it has a ‘slide’ short code in it’s Shortcodes plugin. There is a filter (jetpack_shortcodes_to_include) to modify the shortcodes that jetpack will use, so it might be worthwhile to remove the presentations.php item from that array in this plugin to avoid conflicts. Or at least note it in the documentation.

Looks like this might be an issue with something on my hosting provider, as I tested it locally and it worked fine. I’ll have to dig into it a little more.

This plugin isn’t setting the cookie, your PHP installation is. This plugin adds data to PHP’s session and in order for PHP to know who you are from page load to page load, PHP adds a cookie so it can pull back up the information that was saved in the session on the previous load. If you don’t want to use PHP session cookies, you’d need to talk to your host about how you’d disable them in favor of using PHPSESSID in the URL instead, which would accomplish the same task, albeit uglier. It could probably be successfully argued that session cookies that contain zero user identifiable data are essential to a website’s operation. Any website that you log into uses session cookies to remember who you are as you navigate around the site.

In fact, this URL (https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/guide-to-pecr/cookies-and-similar-technologies/) seems to indicate that session cookies probably do not need to be declared.

The plugin in it’s current state will only add contacts to specific contact lists from Benchmark, not to Sign Up forms in Benchmark. I’m assuming your custom opt-in is probably on a Sign Up form (that’s the only way I’m aware in Benchmark to do custom opt-in emails). I’ll work on adding that functionality in soon.

The plugin requires at least PHP 5.4. Looks like your host is probably running 5.3.

Marking resolved. Please let me know if you have any other questions

Marking this as resolved for now. If you have any issues, please let me know.

Since Benchmark only has First and Last name fields, and not a ‘Name’ field, you’d need to have the two different fields on your contact form. You can then map these to Benchmark by selecting them from the dropdown in the Custom Fields on the left, and map them to ‘First Name’ or ‘Last Name’ on the right.

I think instead of having a plain text field for the benchmark mapping, I’ll make them dropdown or autocomplete boxes in the next version.

I don’t understand the question. The plugin allows you to add people who fill out a form to a Benchmark Email contact list. Once you install and activate the plugin, you’ll see a new tab when editing your contact forms for the Benchmark integration, as shown in the screenshot available on the plugin page.

Does no one use test or dev installs for their sites before deploying live? Seems that could catch any potential issues, no?

I narrowed it down to an issue with another plugin, in my case Easy Bootstrap Shortcode. It’s closing sessions inappropriately which causes this plugin to malfunction.

I have this problem often too, both on my local development and my production host. It’s an Adminer error that occurs when a valid CSRF token is not present with the POST request to do some sort of action. I haven’t been able to track it down yet.

Yup, all fixed up, thanks!
