Why isn't my form submitting?

Why isn't my form submitting?

Certain changes to your form, theme, other plugins, or host environment can sometimes cause unanticipated behavior with your form. For example, a form that will not submit or an error message. We've found certain steps can help narrow down where a potential problem might be coming from:

  1. Change your theme to a WordPress default (such as Twenty Twenty-Five) and try again.
  2. Check for plugin conflicts to see if anything on your site is interfering with Formidable to cause the issue.
  3. Deactivate or otherwise remove any custom code. Conflicting code is the most common cause of problems.
  4. Run your page through an HTML validator. You may have added something to your form that prevents it from functioning correctly.
  5. Open Firebug on your page, select the Console tab and click Persist. When you click submit, you'll see a message like POST" http://example.com/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php. This message can be expanded to provide more details. The response tab is often helpful for telling us what is going on.
  6. If you encounter error messages, check out these troubleshooting guides. If you are still having trouble, feel free to open a support ticket.
