You may also want to tell folks that when they deactivate/activate the plugin, any options that they may have changed on the Secure Form – Signup page (under Plugins) will revert back to the default settings.

Thanks again Henry!!

Thanks for your kind words.

I’ve retested this process and realized that I didn’t specify an additional final step — After making the changes to the plugin and reloading it to your WordPress install, you need to deactivate and reactivate the plugin. You may also need to edit and republish the page that presents the form. Sorry for the confusion. I will update the documentation.

Your plugin is wonderful and your documentation makes things very easy to implement!

However, I am having the same problem as Jackie – the new fields just aren’t showing up – and I just can’t figure it out!!

I have put your plugin into a text widget and it works beautifully… but it just displays without the additional field!

Everything seems to be correct. In fact I have copied your “nickname” example into the file. I thought that it may be a caching issue and have tried viewing it on a number of different computers. But still nothing!!

Any ideas?

Thanks!!

I have updated the “Q. Can I add additional fields?” section of the FAQ with an example. Take a look. Hopefully it helps.

/* Read form */
function ddfs_form_display() {
$form = array(
// Error message markup
‘error-msg’ => ”,
// Rules for form validation – client side
‘error-field’ => ”,
// Default form markup
‘ddfs-name’ => ” . __(‘First Name’, ‘ddfs’) . ”,

‘ddfs-email’ => ” . __(‘Email Address’, ‘ddfs’) . ”,

‘ddfs-repeat-email’ => ” . __(‘Repeat Email Address’, ‘ddfs’) . ”,

‘ddfs-address’ => ” . __(‘Address’, ‘ddfs’) . ”,

‘ddfs-city’ => ” . __(‘City’, ‘ddfs’) . ”,

‘ddfs-zip’ => ” . __(‘Zip’, ‘ddfs’) . ”,
);
return $form;
}

not sure if it’s a caching issue – I did republish and they still aren’t showing up.

One small point — on each of the arrays you are modifying, make sure not to end the last item with a comma. That implies another, nonexistent, entry.

Your later message is the correct approach, but I don’t see HTML markup. Is that implied? Anyway, the $form array outputs HTML, so if you want to see input fields, the HTML needs to be coded into those lines. You can use the current ddfs-name or ddfs-email line as a model.

Finally, you may just be running into caching issues. After uploading and reactivating the revised plugin, use the WordPress Admin interface to go to the page that presents the form and republish it.

/* Read form */
function ddfs_form_display() {
$form = array(
// Error message markup
‘error-msg’ => ”,
// Rules for form validation – client side
‘error-field’ => ”,
// Default form markup
‘ddfs-name’ => ” . __(‘First Name’, ‘ddfs’) . ”,
‘ddfs-email’ => ” . __(‘Email Address’, ‘ddfs’) . ”,
‘ddfs-repeat-email’ => ” . __(‘Repeat Email Address’, ‘ddfs’) . ”,
‘ddfs-address’ => ” . __(‘Address’, ‘ddfs’) . ”,
‘ddfs-city’ => ” . __(‘City’, ‘ddfs’) . ”,
‘ddfs-zip’ => ” . __(‘Zip’, ‘ddfs’) . ”,
);
return $form;
}

they are still not showing up.
