Title: Checkboxes outputting "Array" Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # Checkboxes outputting "Array" * [krashx6](https://wordpress.org/support/users/krashx6/) * (@krashx6) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/checkboxes-outputting-array/) * Since the update, my form’s check boxes started outputting “Array” in the email rather than which box they selected. * My code is below. On the Form: [checkbox checkbox-977 “Medical” “Dental”] In the Email: [checkbox-977] * Any ideas? I’ve tried remaking the form. * [http://wordpress.org/plugins/contact-form-7/](http://wordpress.org/plugins/contact-form-7/) Viewing 9 replies - 1 through 9 (of 9 total) * [oleg77](https://wordpress.org/support/users/oleg77/) * (@oleg77) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/checkboxes-outputting-array/#post-4010255) * I have the same problem with one of the forms: [http://europeancourt.ru/vebinary/](http://europeancourt.ru/vebinary/). * And I also remade that form with no success. * BTW, the other form with checkboxes works perfectly well: [http://europeancourt.ru/poluchit-konsultaciyu-po-telefonu/](http://europeancourt.ru/poluchit-konsultaciyu-po-telefonu/) * [2cats](https://wordpress.org/support/users/2cats/) * (@2cats) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/checkboxes-outputting-array/#post-4010306) * Same problem here. Checkboxes used to work fine so I think it is an upgrade issue? Here’s my code: * Form: `[checkbox InsuranceType "Auto" "Homeowner's" "Umbrella" "Watercraft" " Commercial" "Other"]` Email: `[InsuranceType]` * The rest of the form works fine but I really need those checkboxes.

You can correct it for now by commenting out this line in the /includes/classes.php file * Around line 599 look for: `$submitted = trim( $submitted );` * Then just add the comment marks in front of it like so: `//$submitted = trim( $submitted );` * This trim is clipping out whatever the array search is looking for. We will have to wait for an official patch but for now this works! * Hope it help someone… * [Kai](https://wordpress.org/support/users/webmasterfelix-systemsde/) * (@webmasterfelix-systemsde) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/checkboxes-outputting-array/#post-4010389) * Great, this solution works. * Thank you * Plugin Author [Takayuki Miyoshi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/takayukister/) * (@takayukister) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/checkboxes-outputting-array/#post-4010390) * I’m sorry for this.
