I am using CF7 in conjunction with Webhooks Pro to interact with my Filemaker database and all my flows are working great. But for some reason, I am having some issues with data in fields not clearing. for the next user. Any suggestions of how to remedy this is much appreciated.

I use the Oceans WP Free Theme and the plug ins are as follows:**Contact Form 7****Lightweight Accordion**** Ocean Extra****Search Engine Visibility****Sucuri Security – Auditing, Malware Scanner and Hardening****WordPress Importer****WP phpMyAdmin****WP Webhooks Pro**** WPWH Pro – Execute PHP Code**In addition, I have a PHP developer doing some WP customization to an Ocean WP Child Theme in order to have data from my Filemaker Database fetched and sent to a receiving form <[https://aikido-db.com/members-data-form/>](https://aikido-db.com/members-data-form/>);. The link I gave you <[https://aikido-db.com/member-update-record/>](https://aikido-db.com/member-update-record/>); is the one that sends the Record ID to find the correct record in the FM database and is not impacted by the PHP customization that then sends the data via a workflow in Claris Connect to the Webhooks Pro flow that populates the fields in the receiving CF7 form which is part of the PHP customization. But both forms appear to have the issue that the fields do not clear themselves.The developer has updated the PHP code to ensure that the data will be cleared but has been firing the forms many, many times do you think I should try a WP cache flush?Thanks again for your help.

My good friend Jannis developer of Webhooks Pro who is regularly saving my butt, has given me the suggested fix and am having my PHP programmer making the changes to the PHP code right now. So I think I have it covered. Thanks so much for your help. It is very much appreciated.
