Hi jmelway,

Let's look at one checkbox groups form your code( re-formatted for clarity)

<div  class="form_item">
    <div class="form_element cf_checkbox">
        <label class="cf_label"><br></label>
        <div class="float_left"><strong>What is the purpose of your web design project? </strong>
            <br>
            <input value="Sell_products and accept payment online" class="radio validate-one-required" id="Sell_products and accept payment online " name="sellproducts[]" type="checkbox">
            <label for="Sell_products and accept payment online" class="check_label">Sell_products and accept payment online</label>
            <br>
            <input value="Market My Products And Services" class="radio" id="Market_my products and services" name="marketproducts[]" type="checkbox">
            <label for="Market_my products and services" class="check_label">Market My Products And Services</label>
            <br>
            <input value="Other (Please Explain More In The Additional Notes Section) " class="radio" id="Other_(please explain more in the Additional Notes section) " name="other[]" type="checkbox">
            <label for="Other_(please explain more in the Additional Notes section) " class="check_label">Other (Please Explain More In The Additional Notes Section) </label>
            <br>
        </div>
    </div>
    <div class="clear"> </div>
</div>

First off this version of the ChronoForms wizard does a rubbish job with converting complex labels into 'name' and 'id' attributes. You cannot legally have a 'name' with spaces or special characters - yet the wizard only replaces the first space with an underline and ignores all special characters.

You've already replaced the names, you also need to replace the ids to make

id="Other_(please explain more in the Additional Notes section) "

into something like

id="purpose_other"

Because this is a checkbox block you woudl like to have the results returned in one variable (an variable array for checkboxes, a single variable for radio buttons). For this each member needs to have the *same* name e.g. name='purpose[]' (ids should all be unique). At the same time we can simplify the label 'for' attributes.

Lastly the values probably don't need to be quite as long as the label texts.

Making these changes your code becomes

<div  class="form_item">
    <div class="form_element cf_checkbox">
        <label class="cf_label"><br></label>
        <div class="float_left"><strong>What is the purpose of your web design project? </strong>
            <br>
            <input value="Sell online" class="radio validate-one-required" id="purpose_sell" name="purpose[]" type="checkbox">
            <label for="purpose_sell" class="check_label">Sell_products and accept payment online</label>
            <br>
            <input value="Market" class="radio" id="purpose_market" name="purpose[]" type="checkbox">
            <label for="purpose_market" class="check_label">Market My Products And Services</label>
            <br>
            <input value="Other" class="radio" id="purpose_other[]" name="purpose[]" type="checkbox">
            <label for="purpose_other " class="check_label">Other (Please Explain More In The Additional Notes Section) </label>
            <br>
        </div>
    </div>
    <div class="clear"> </div>
</div>

This will returns an array entry in the $_POST array like

['purpose'] => array([0] => 'Sell online', [1] => 'Other')

ChronoForms will unpack this in the OnSubmit area into a comma separated string like 'Sell online, Other'

The wizard also produces correspondingly bad email template code

What is the purpose of your web design project?
{sellproducts}Sell Products And Accept Payment Online

{marketproducts}Market My Products And Services

{other}Other (Please Explain More In The Additional Notes Section)

You only need one line for this checkbox array so you can replace all of this block with

What is the purpose of your web design project? {purpose}

PS I'm not sure what's causing the new errors but they may arise from some of the bad ids.
