Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    Hello fellow Wordpressers. I am using Wordpress too. I have a little problem though at the moment and I am looking for a fix for it. I want to create a quick contact me form on the home page of a website. I don't necessarily want to use a plugin. I have set the form up in the html <form>action="process_form" method="post"</form> etc. I then want to create the process_form.php page when I create this page using a .php page from wordpress the form does not seem to be able to find the process_form.php page and I get an error Page Not Found 404 when the form is filled in and submitted. Any suggestions? I can PM people the site name and let you take a look at it if possible. Thanks Ben

    Why not use a plugin?

    Is your action="process_form" link correct? First check if it points correctly - add it to some text and then see if link works fine.
    Another thing is that usually process_form.php is only managing data sending and you should have one hidden input like that:

    [FONT=tahoma, arial]<INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME="redirect" value="http://www.server.com/formsent.html&quot;>[/FONT]

    to point user to website you want him to go after submit form.

    There's a load of reasons why a PHP form may not be working, you'll need to go through all the possibilities (or just use a plugin).
