Or * > “Validation errors occurred. Please confirm the fields and submit it again.”? * I just tried the form again and I get this same error “You don’t have permission to access this page on this server.”. So I don’t think the plugin is the cause since the error still persists even after deactivating the plugin. - This reply was modified 5 years, 1 month ago by [Kofi Mokome](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kofimokome/). * Thread Starter [hirankings](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hirankings/) * (@hirankings) * [5 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/validation-errors-occurred-4/#post-14294914) * I was seeing the following errors before disabling the plugin “Validation errors occurred.
