The new version of the plugin includes some new options, which you should configure: * – Under “Form Fields”, select an option for the “Custom Field” setting – Under“ Custom Field”, specify values for both settings – Under “Auto-Display Content”, select options for “Custom Field Auto-Display” and “Custom Field Markup” * Then save your changes and the PHP Warning that you are seeing will be resolved. * Let me know if any questions, or if I can help further. * Plugin Author [Jeff Starr](https://wordpress.org/support/users/specialk/) * (@specialk) * [8 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-msg-need-help/#post-9648489) * FYI: Alternately you may be able to just click “Save Settings” as a shortcut to updating the settings. It should work, but actually updating the settings as in the previous post is recommended. * Thread Starter [person](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ionich3art/) * (@ionich3art) * [8 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-msg-need-help/#post-9648499) * ok thank you will try it! * Thread Starter [person](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ionich3art/) * (@ionich3art) * [8 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-msg-need-help/#post-9648556) * Nope still getting it * Plugin Author [Jeff Starr](https://wordpress.org/support/users/specialk/) * (@specialk) * [8 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-msg-need-help/#post-9648576) * Hmmm that’s odd, as the solution has worked now for other users.. can you double- check and try again? * For example, the fix worked for these folks and several others (helped via email): * [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-986/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-986/) [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/update-20171101problem/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/update-20171101problem/) - This reply was modified 8 years, 7 months ago by [Jeff Starr](https://wordpress.org/support/users/specialk/).
