As an update, I disabled all plugins, reinstalled WordPress and reinstalled PDB to make sure everything was setup correctly. I’m still having the same issue: the [pdb_signup_thanks] page shows the correct message but treats the registration like an update (email sent to admin says “registration updated” and user receives no notification).
If I direct to the “thanks” page directly from the [pdb_signup] page, both emails send correctly. I don’t know if this is an incompatibility with a WP update (4.3), or related to my hosting (Rackspace), but multipage is definitely not working for me. My URLs also display as “?action=update”.
I’m still in the process of troubleshooting, but still experiencing this issue. It’s not an email delivery issue, because:
I found by changing the short code to the pdb_signup rather than pdb_record it began to work again.
This causes the registration email to send successfully in addition to the “record updated” email, but is causing other issues.
