 * Hi there
    When I try to submit the form with full details, it is not working.
   If I keep the field Website / URL when I complete it and i click submit, I get
   the message “Please enter a URL” even if this was already inserted. If I remove
   the field URL (which is not what I intend to do) and click “Submit” the form 
   is not sending and I get no error message. Please help me fix this situation.
   Thanks

 * Also, I have used the field “Checkboxes” which has 5 choices. I need to choose
   between 1 and 5 options, not all of them. All of them are required to submit 
   the form.
    Why is that? Which is the best field for multiple choices between 
   1 and 5? Thanks

 * Meanwhile i have replaced the Website/URL field with a “Text Field” and i typed
   in the placeholder “www.domain.com” and it seems that the error with valid URL
   is gone.
    But still no actions when i click submit. Please help me fixt it asap.
   Thanks

 * Hi [@dropix123](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dropix123/),
 * I’m sorry for the trouble here! I opened up your page and then clicked one of
   the Get Started buttons to see a form.
 * And in the overlay that opened, I believe I see the issue: our JavaScript isn’t
   loading. In case you’re curious, you can see this by skipping all required fields
   and clicking the Submit button ([here’s a screenshot](https://a.supportally.com/yDS4H6)).
 * That validation message doesn’t come from our plugin — it’s the fallback message
   used by HTML when no JavaScript is loaded for a form. [This tutorial](https://wpforms.com/docs/customize-wpforms-validation-messages/)
   shows what our validation messages should look like (in red, and right under 
   the field).
 * As to why our JavaScript isn’t loading, that most likely has to do with the tool
   used to create this overlay. Some overlay/popup tools will cause assets like 
   this to load differently (or not at all) — resulting in issues that you don’t
   see when the form is embedded on a regular page.
 * If you reach out to the team behind this overlay/popup tool, they might be able
   to provide a fix.
 * Or you could consider using a different tool to create your overlay. We’ve seen
   lots of customers have success with a free plugin named Popup Maker, so much 
   so that we even wrote [a blog post to walk through the setup](https://wpforms.com/how-to-create-a-contact-form-popup-in-wordpress/).
 * I hope this helps you to get things working!
