I also used the Duplicator plugin to clone my site and had the same issue with the “Congratulations” pop up not closing permanently.
Renaming the DB table wp_wfConfig to have a Capital C Solved the problem.
Thanks Uthoocha!!

I’ve not found any problems with other plugins from Bind User to Category, only with Visual Form Builder. It would be great if someone could update BUtoC, since it’s the only solution I’ve found to idiot-proofing users posting to a specific category.

There isn’t any error message, it’s just that Visual Form Builder doesn’t respond properly. The Fieldset functions don’t work. You can’t edit any existing field types and you can’t add any new field types to the form. Also, the Confirmation settings don’t open with appropriate dialogs. You can copy forms and create blank forms and fill in any open text fields such as the Email details fields, but the buttons for creating and editing fields don’t function as long as Bind User to Category is Active.

Hi Matthew,
Your Restrict Categories works fine, but it doesn’t do what I need, while Bind User to Category does, that is, it idiot-proofs posts by automatically assigning them to the categories I want the users to post to. I have some users (authors) whose posts only should go to a particular restricted area as defined by a specific Category, and I can’t count on them remembering to assign the correct category to make it go there, Bind User to Category accomplishes this — no matter if they don’t select a category of if they select another one from the one I want them to use, Bind User to Category makes sure it gets posted in the Category that I want. So, it’s worth the extra effort to activate/deactivate the plugin whenever I have to edit or create a new Visual Form Builder form.

I found the problem: the Bind User to Category plugin interferes with VFB. I verified this on my local WP install by Activating/Deactivating BUtoC plugin.

Workaround: Whenever you need to alter or create a VFB form, just deactivate the BUtoC plugin, work with VFB, and reactivate BUtoC afterward. The BUtoC settings remain saved, even though you deactivated and reactivated it, so no loss from doing that.

OOPS! VFB does work after all:
I tried before and after upgrading on another site and Visual Form Builder worked fine after the upgrade. It must be some other plugin that’s interfering with VFB.
