 * Hi. I have a form set up but recently whenever I click “Update” it gives me the
   error _“Something went wrong while saving your form. Please try again.”_ I couldn’t
   figure out why for the longest time and see others have a similar issue but never
   any answer as to why.
 * I isolated the problem in the custom CSS I was using in the “Enable custom CSS”
   box. I won’t accept comments in the code (e.g. `/* some comment */`) and spits
   out that error. Removed, it updates just fine.
 * Hope that’s helpful to someone!

 * Hi [@dugost](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dugost/),
 * I checked this on a test install of the Forminator plugin but was unable to replicate
   the issue at my end.
 * Can you please share an export of the form that you noticed the issue with so
   that we can take a closer look? You can share the export using any cloud storage
   platform like Google Drive or DropBox. Please make sure to share a public URL.

 * Ok, I’ve [posted the form export](https://www.dropbox.com/s/uu8vmix4w9ee33o/forminator-user-login-form-export.txt?dl=0)
   but this won’t have the comment in the CSS.
 * I believe the first version saved without any problems and included this:
 * .forminator-description-password {font-size: 21px;} /* some comment */
 * Later when I had to go back and edit the form’s settings and got the error, I
   removed that comment from the CSS and it saved just fine.

 * Hi [@dugost](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dugost/)
 * Thank you for the form,
 * I tried to add some comments, refresh the page and resave multiple times and 
   didn’t get any error.
 * Could you please try to re-check the issue but this time click on right button
   of mouse > inspect > network, save the form and when the “Something went wrong
   while saving your form.” returns you will see a status different than the 200

 * Click on preview and send a screenshot, so we can find if it is a fatal error
   or firewall.
