Has anyone had duplicate entries created? Users are submitting once but entries are created twice.   Thanks for any help.

I have had people not closing their browser and resubmitting the same form 2 times.  But never have had it happen upon initial submission.

A good way to take this on is to add a jQuery redirect after timeout into your message for your forms. Basically, display a message for X seconds, then reload the form page (without re-submission).

Bobby any chance you could share an example code for the good of the republic?

Hi Bobby, this sounds like a great solution, thanks. Can you advise where this code redirect should be placed as I'm not a jQuery expert. Should I code it in the bottom of the form or perhaps on the WP page, sorry to be so unsure. I'm confident with PHP, HTML, CSS etc., but not jQuery! 🙁

This should go in the "show message" field of the On Submit setting of your form.
