I am having problems with accessing my Wordpress wp-admin, I get a 404 error, although I can log in from cPanel.  I have discovered if I disable Formidable Forms plugin the problem goes away but I understand that I need the basic version to run Pro.  How do I fix this?

Have you enabled WordPress debug to find the error? 404 doesn't tell us much.

Will do, back soon

I've enabled debug in wp-config. Do I need to do anything else?

Victor Font replied 2 months ago

You need to reenable Formidable, try to load WordPress, and tell us what error messages you see.

Reenabled Forms, logged out of WordPress and it went to a page not found. Tried to log in again Page not found message, can only log in via cPanel. I can't see any logs anywhere however, which I though I should? Formidable Registration and Basic Forms appear to be the culprits though. I have registration disabled now.

When you use WordPress debug, you should see the error message on the screen. Make sure you have all the debug options set to true.

define( 'WP_DEBUG', true );
define( 'WP_DEBUG_LOG', true );
define( 'WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', true );
define( 'SCRIPT_DEBUG', true );

I have another problem that I need to attend to right now so will come back to you.  Thanks so much for your help.

Did you get anywhere with this?

Glyn O'Keefe replied 2 months ago

Hi Victor, I've been dealing with a database problem with the hosting company which is just about fixed. Could be the cause of a number of problems. I'll get back to you as soon as I have the site working properly and can revisit the Forms issue if it's still there.
Cheers

Hi Victor
Problems all sorted, it appears to have been something at the host end. Working well now. I will be back I'm sure as I'm building a site for a co-op with many members so there'll be challenges I'm sure. Thanks again for your prompt responses and assistance.
Cheers

Hi Victor I'm to the stage where I want users to be able to edit entries they have already made.   So I have a form where they make an entry and submit it.  I have created a view for the entry and all that is working fine.  I've published the vier to a page but I cannot get my head around the edit function.  I had it working once before but the id numbers are doing my head in.  This is the shortcode that was working - the id numbers are what seem to be confusing me.  Which specific pages, forms, views whatever do they refer to? [frm-entry-edit-link id=12 label="EDIT EXISTING ENTRY" page_id=178] Cheers

In your example, the id is the id of the form entry to edit and page_id is the id of the WordPress page that displays your form.

Thank you I think I have this right now but I can't test because for some reason the link is not showing on the page.  I have it placed above the form link same as I have it on another of my sites where it works perfectly.  Also when another user logs in with all the correct credentials the Save Draft link does not show.  Is there a setting somewhere that's causing this?

Hi there, Still having problems displaying the Edit and Save Draft links on the front end.  It only shows when I am in wp-admin and I view the page.  Even if I log in via the user login as administrator, it doesn't show the links.  There must be a setting I'm missing somewhere.  Advice please. Pic is of the page when I preview changes in wp-admin.

What is the code you're using to display the link?

This is the link to edit - [editlink label="EDIT EXISTING ENTRIES" page_id=479] and the Save Draft button is from the form permission settings - Allow saving drafts
Rob LeVineRob LeVine replied 2 months ago

If an editlink is not displaying anything on the front end 99% of the time it's because the form's settings is not set to support it for the user that's logged in. In the form's settings -> Form Permissions the "Allow front-end editing of the entries" needs to be checked and the "Role required..." values have to be set correctly. In the same tab, the "Allow saving drafts" checkbox needs to be checked for the Save Draft button to show. If those are both set as I've described, there's something else going on and you should either contact Formidable Support or hire a developer to look into it.
