# [Plugin: Visual Form Builder] Failed Security Validation

 * I get this error message each time I try to ‘Submit’ the form
 * ‘Ooops! Looks like you have failed the security validation for this form. Please
   go back and try again.’
 * I have gone back many times trying various combinations of the 2 digits required
   in the Verification section at the foot of the form, but the same error comes
   back.
    Is there any reason why this would happen?

 * Do you have a link to your form?

 * There is no ‘live’ link to the form understandably as the isn’t working (the 
   form), and the site is currently in Maintenance Mode. If you know of a way (plugin
   maybe) that I can send you a link without ‘Joe Public’ seeing the site let me
   know.
    The form has 65 fields (online registration form for a nursery). A ‘test’
   form with just 3 fields was created with the same ‘Email Details/Confirmation/
   Notification’ and this worked fine.

 * mmuro – if you let me know when your available (time) I can take the site out
   of Maintenance Mode so that you can have a quick look at the page in question.
   
   Currently trying to figure out if it’s possible to set up a splash page like 
   Maintenance Mode, but still have the site viewable to those who have a link to
   the page/site.

 * The only reason you should be getting this error message is if you fail on the
   PHP validation, not the JS. So, the page is getting submitted, correct? One thing
   that comes to mind is that the Submit button value is not ‘Submit’.

 * The Submit button is working fine as I’ve tried simply adding a 2 digit verification
   code and clicking submit, which then sends the form (things brings up another
   issue as some of the fields are ‘required’, so the form shouldn’t submit until
   these have been completed – one for another post maybe)
 * Here’s the code for the Submit button:
    <input id=”sendmail” class=”submit” type
   =”submit” value=”Submit” name=”visual-form-builder-submit”>

 * If the jQuery validation isn’t firing, then yeah, you’ll get the ‘Ooops’ error
   message.
 * There might be a jQuery conflict from another plugin.

 * Guess that might be an issue as there’s quite a few js included
