Embedded form not submitting

Bmi 03 Dec, 2024

I'm on Joomla 5.2.2, Chronoforms 8.

I have a form that will submit successfully if I click on the "Frontend" link in the admin to preview the form, fill out & submit.

In this case the URL is /index.php?option=com_chronoforms8&action=view&chronoform=testform

When I embed the form using the shortcode it is not submitting.

I am on a page with URL /contact and after submitting the form it redirects to /contact?chronoform=testform but doesn't do anything.

How I do get the embedded form to submit correctly? What am I missing / doing wrong?

Note: I'm using the demo contact form for troubleshooting so it's simple.

Thanks!

do you have cache enable on your website ? if yes then please try to turn it off or lower the setting

Yes that fixed it!  I had it set to Conservative Caching.   Is there a way to enable cache and have the forms submit?

With aggressive caching the form should not be inside an article, you can use a menu item of type Chronoforms8
