Title: Forms will not submit Last modified: December 10, 2022 --- # Forms will not submit * Resolved [grafx77](https://wordpress.org/support/users/grafx77/) * (@grafx77) * [3 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/forms-will-not-submit/) * I’ve been trying to get the forms submissions to work on this plugin for over an hour. When I click the submit button, nothing happens at all. I initially had this connected to MailPoet, but now I just have it set to where it just sends me an email upon submission for troubleshooting purposes. Not even the “thank you” text shows up as it seems the submissions buttons just don’t work. I’ve tried this on numerous premade forms. * I have WP Rocket, but have disabled it for testing and it doesn’t work. I’ve also disabled a few other plugins that might cause issues with the plugin and the same thing happens.

No SPAM plugin. * The website is [https://alphagaminggear.com](https://alphagaminggear.com). You’ll immediately see a premade popup on your bottom right corner. * Plugin Author [Brave](https://wordpress.org/support/users/getbrave/) * (@getbrave) * [3 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/forms-will-not-submit/#post-16276620) * [@grafx77](https://wordpress.org/support/users/grafx77/) Looks like you are using FlatSome theme. Brave does not work with Flatsome theme. The way the theme is built, it hijacks all the popups form functionality and breaks the forms. They have their own poupup functionality and their implementation of it is very poor. It shouldn’t break all other popup plugins. You can ask on their support forum about this and see if they can fix it. * Thanks * Thread Starter [grafx77](https://wordpress.org/support/users/grafx77/) * (@grafx77) * [3 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/forms-will-not-submit/#post-16276632) * Yes, I am aware of the popup functionality they use, which is turned off. I’ve also been able to successfully replicate a submission on another one of my stores that was created with Flatsome: [https://iLovPets.com](https://iLovPets.com) so it’s not entirely the theme (possibly a function is disabled/enabled from the theme). * I’ve also used a large variety of popup plugins that worked well with Flatsome. Maybe one day you guys can get this ironed out. As you probably already know, if I bring this up with their support, they are just going to revert back to you guys since it is your plugin that has this issue and I would have to agree with them. * Plugin Author [Brave](https://wordpress.org/support/users/getbrave/) * (@getbrave) * [3 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/forms-will-not-submit/#post-16276645) * [@grafx77](https://wordpress.org/support/users/grafx77/) We have examined both the plugin and the theme thoroughly to implement a possible fix. But couldn’t do it. It requires them to change how their popup functionality work. * Let me give you an example. They use Magnific popup jQuery plugin(Last updated 7 years ago) for their popup functionality. It loads a magnific popup javascript file to make their popup work. But the problem is, even when you disable their popup feature, that file still loads. You can see this by opening your website, clicking anywhere in the Brave popup and then open the browser console and you will see their popup javascript file `/flatsome/assets/js/chunk.vendors-popups. js` is still being loaded and throwing an error. * The file is probably being loaded becuase the theme uses Magnific popup not only for their popup feature, but also some other theme related features. If we exclude that file, some of the functionalities of the theme break. * Thread Starter [grafx77](https://wordpress.org/support/users/grafx77/) * (@grafx77) * [3 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/forms-will-not-submit/#post-16276647) * Do you think you could give me the file and/or line to exclude? I might not be using a feature that includes Magnific. Also, if it’s still causing errors on the console without it being enabled, I’d like to disable it anyway. * If it breaks something, so be it. I can always revert back. * BTW, not sure why it’s working on iLovPets.com. Maybe that store isn’t using a feature is utilizing Magnific? * Plugin Author [Brave](https://wordpress.org/support/users/getbrave/) * (@getbrave) * [3 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/forms-will-not-submit/#post-16276660) * [@grafx77](https://wordpress.org/support/users/grafx77/) Try adding this custom php function: * ``` add_action( 'wp_footer', 'bravepop_disable_flatsome_magnific', 99 ); function bravepop_disable_flatsome_magnific() { print_r('' ); } ``` * This is a hacky way if disabling the Magnific popup plugin. A better way would be to remove it with php code. But the theme does not include the javascript files the recommended way. Hence its not possible that way. * Just checked iLovePets.com . The `/flatsome/assets/js/chunk.vendors-popups.js` is not being loaded on that site. There are some specific theme settings that you have to disable to actually exclude Magnific Popup. Can you please export the theme settings of both the sites and then paste the settings content in [https://www.diffchecker.com/](https://www.diffchecker.com/) and click the “Find Difference” button, and then click the “Share” button on the next page. And share the diffcheker link here. * Thanks * Thread Starter [grafx77](https://wordpress.org/support/users/grafx77/) * (@grafx77) * [3 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/forms-will-not-submit/#post-16276689) * So I input the script you gave me (thank you) and it actually worked. I was able to submit a form. Only problem is, it disabled a few images loading on the homepage like the 4 category images below the main video on AlphaGamingGear as well as some banners on down the page. Maybe I can get the banners to display using relative links or absolute links, so I might try that next. * As far as exporting the theme settings, how do I do that? * Thread Starter [grafx77](https://wordpress.org/support/users/grafx77/) * (@grafx77) * [3 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/forms-will-not-submit/#post-16276694) * Screenshot of images that were not loaded: [https://i.imgur.com/KLbxE0s.png](https://i.imgur.com/KLbxE0s.png) * Plugin Author [Brave](https://wordpress.org/support/users/getbrave/) * (@getbrave) * [3 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/forms-will-not-submit/#post-16276714) * [@grafx77](https://wordpress.org/support/users/grafx77/) Looks like their theme export option actually encodes the theme settings data. so its not possible to compare settings difference right away. * Copy theme settings of both the theme instances, and share it with us with pastebin. com or similar. * To copy the theme settings, go to Flatsome > Advance > Backup & Import, and copy the data from the “Transfer Theme Options Data” field. * Thread Starter [grafx77](https://wordpress.org/support/users/grafx77/) * (@grafx77) * [3 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/forms-will-not-submit/#post-16276726) * Sure. * Good news is I got my main eComm store to work flawlessly with your script. Only thing we need to get ironed out now is what javascript do I need to include under WpRocket > File Optimization > Delay Javascript Execution? * Thread Starter [grafx77](https://wordpress.org/support/users/grafx77/) * (@grafx77) * [3 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/forms-will-not-submit/#post-16276755) * Javascript file? * Plugin Author [Brave](https://wordpress.org/support/users/getbrave/) * (@getbrave) * [3 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/forms-will-not-submit/#post-16276756) * [@grafx77](https://wordpress.org/support/users/grafx77/) You can check this thread about excluding the js files.

I added bravepop_front_js bravepop_front_js-js-extra bravepop_global var brave_popup_data * Not submitting. Any other javascripts? * Plugin Author [Brave](https://wordpress.org/support/users/getbrave/) * (@getbrave) * [3 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/forms-will-not-submit/#post-16276808) * [@grafx77](https://wordpress.org/support/users/grafx77/) Its not a cache issue, so excluding these js files won’t fix the form submission issue. * The form submission issue is caused by the theme. You need to disable some settings of your theme to make the form work just like your other website.
