Hi,
I have a strange issue. After updating a form I don't see the changed reflected in the frontend of the site. I can see the changes in the designer area of the admin area however on the frontend and using Test form to preview I see an older version of the form. I've used the Delete cache button in the forms manager but that also hasn't resolved the issue. Any ideas what may be happening?
Thanks in advance
Hi qmeister,
It sounds as though you have site caching enabled in the Site Global Configuration. Try Site Admin > System > Clear Cache.
The ChronoForms Delete Cache icon clears a cache that CF uses to store database table info.
If you have site caching enabled then some of the CF Captchas will not work as they rely on a fresh page load. Googe ReCaptcha should still be OK.

Hi,
We currently have site caching disabled, but nevertheless I tried clearing the cache and still there's not change. So very weird indeed. Any other suggestions for what to check?
PS. I've just realised that this form is showing as a custom code form, so that probably answers the question. So I'm a little confused now. Why are we permitted to make changes which we see reflected in the designer view ? I seem to recall that in a previous version of chronoforms you were blocked from making changes if there was custom code involved.
Hi qmeister,
I don't now recall if switching to custom code always blocked the Designer tab or it's equivalent in some of the older versions. I guess Max assumed that you would know if you had switched over - but I agree that a warning might be helpful, particularly when re-visiting old forms.
Personally I try to avoid using the full custom code option if possible and use Custom Code actions and elements instead.

Yes, I agree, a warning would be useful here, especially as in my case, I'm picking up from where someone else left off. I also agree about the custom code feature, much cleaner and would always be my preference. Thanks for your help
