Do you use the free version or the Pro (paid) version?

Johan, I use the Pro (Version 2.4.3) for Wordpress

Great, the code has to be added on line 222 of file "Form_Maker.php". So I will paste that part here. Some lines before the code and some lines after it:

So this should be lines 217 to 240 (the shortcode is the new part):

add_action('init', 'do_output_buffer');
function do_output_buffer() {
ob_start();
}

add_shortcode('Form', 'fm_shortcode');

function fm_shortcode($attrs) {
$new_shortcode = '[Form';
foreach ($attrs as $key=>$value) {
$new_shortcode .= ' ' . $key . '="' . $value . '"';
}
$new_shortcode .= ']';
return $new_shortcode;
}

add_filter('the_content', 'Form_maker_fornt_end_main', 5000);
function Form_maker_fornt_end_main($content) {
$pattern = '[\[Form id="([0-9]*)"\]]';
$count_forms_in_post = preg_match_all($pattern, $content, $matches_form);
if ($count_forms_in_post) {
for ($jj = 0; $jj < $count_forms_in_post; $jj++) {
$padron = $matches_form[0][$jj];
$replacment = form_maker_front_end($matches_form[1][$jj]);

Pro is only paid version

Dear Jairo,

Have you managed to resolve the problem with the way Johan has suggested?
Thank you.

So what is the fix for this problem? Our forms are all gone.

Dear Judy,

Please update your Form Maker to the latest version (1.7.23+ or 2.7.23+) and reinsert the shortcodes. If you don't have the updates available, please contact us to [email protected] and we will help you out.

Thank you.

Johan,

Yes, so far doing this fix works, using the <code></code> was giving extra ugly space.

Thanks

I see there has been no replies to this issue in several months! After upgrading my site to WP 4.01 I had to do the <code> fix on the existing Form Maker forms - which worked. However, I have recently changed my WP template to Customzr and though the existing forms are still in place and not broken I cannot add any new forms - <code> fix does not help!

I purchased Form Maker Pro - so this is situation is unacceptable! I need to offer these forms to our potential clients and I need a fix now!

Dear Jan,

The solution can be found among the 5 pages of replies of this forum post. However, if you are not sure about implementing it, please contact us to [email protected] and let us to take a look at the issue. Please mention the full link to your forum post in your e-mail.

Thank you.

I do not see an update on this plugin, I used <code></code> and that works, but it doesnt look right. Can someone tell me where this plugin update is? Thank you!

Dear Danielle,

If you use Pro version please contact us to [email protected] and let us to take a look at the issue? Please mention the full link to your forum post in your e-mail.Also please include temporary admin credentials to your website in the mail.

I was about to buy this product when I stumbled on this topic. I am using the latest version (1.7.29) and noticed that this problem still seems to persist.

I am using a Genesis theme, and put the shortcode in a widget. However, whatever offered solutions in this thread I apply, the only thing that is shown on the site is the shortcode [Form id="1"] When I use another form pugin, e.g. Contact Form 7, its shortcode is substituted without problem, also from a widget.

I added 2 screenshots: one of the content of the widget with on top the Contact Form 7 shortcode followed by the Form Maker shortcode, and the second one showing part of the website.
Btw, when I add the <code></code> tags, only the font of the shortcode changes.

Dear Eric,

Could you please contact us to [email protected] and let us to take a look at the issue? Please mention the full link to your forum post in your e-mail.Also please include temporary admin credentials to your website in the mail.

How do you download the update to the Pro version if Wordpress is not showing that you need an update?
I updated the plugin through Wordpress and now I have version 2.7.18.
But I still have the problem.

How do I get the latest update?

Thanks,

Cyndi

just fixed it by wrapping the shortcode in the code tag

ex: <code>[Form id="14"]</code>

Well I just purchased the new Form Maker Pro version after having used an older version which broke with WordPress 4. I am happy to report that it is working fine.

Now I just have to get over the slight learning curve with some of the changes

Dear Jamie,

Please feel free to ask any questions.
Thank you.

OK, I deactivated the plugin and deleted it because my pro version would not update to 2.7.18. I installed the free version (1.7.39) and it seems to be working.

But, I had purchased the pro version last year 2/2014. How do I get my pro version back?

Dear Jeff,

You can reinstall it and implement the fix mentioned in this topic. Otherwise you can contact us to [email protected] and we'll do this for you.

Here's the description of the solution:

1. Go to your Plugins section of the WordPress admin panel of your website.
2. Find Form Maker and click Edit under the plugin title, you will access the plugin editor.
3. Please scroll down to the end of the code and add the following code before the PHP main ?> closing brackets:

add_shortcode('Form', 'fm_shortcode');

function fm_shortcode($attrs) {
   $new_shortcode = '[Form';
   foreach ($attrs as $key=>$value) {
   $new_shortcode .= ' ' . $key . '="' . $value . '"';
   }
   $new_shortcode .= ']';
   return $new_shortcode;
}

I had already added the code to my plugin editor.

But how do I get my Pro version back?

Thank you.
Jeff

Dear Jeff,

Please log in to your account of Web-dorado.com, download and isntall your pro version. Afterwards please add the code mentioned in this topic. If you will need help with this, please let us know.

Thank you.

I purchased the Pro version Feb 2014 and my account says my subscription has expired. So now do I have to pay again, just to get back to where I was before this issue started?

Dear Jeff,

Please contact us to [email protected] and provide the e-mail address, which you've used when purchasing the plugin and the transaction ID. We will send you a fixed older version.
Thank you.

Please note that after the update you will have to regenerate the shortcode. That is to delete and insert the shortcode from the Editor again.

How do you regenerate the shortcode? Do I have to recreate the whole form?
