Thank you a lot. I have managed everything so far.
When I inserted the lead via PHP code from formregistration to SliceWP the Date is “-0001-11-30 02:00” and not the current time. I have tried to modify the code so the real date is beeing used but I was unable to do so. Also I can not insert the original URL into entry, maybe it is the same problem with the date. But I was able to transfert the register e-mail to customer, so I believe the solution is just a little changement. Here is my code for that, maybe you can tell me where the error is (please see under the section D Lead conversion to SliceWP):
Thanks a lot!
Cheers, Tobias
