It's a Microsoft IIS URL rewriting issue. It doesn't properly handle the permalinks. Because the default permalinks use no url rewriting at all, that is why it works. If you use permalinks that use URL rewriting, it's not going to work because of how your web host has implemented rewriting. Older versions of IIS implement it as a hack, and that causes problems for WordPress and plugins. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/form-redirecting-to-homepage-instead-of-sending#post-35783 Tue, 20 Sep 2011 17:34:26 +0000 gtphill 35783@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>When I submit it from the preview, it doesn't work, but it does work with default permalinks. Is there any possible way I can get this to work without resorting to default permalinks? I definitely wish my company had a non-windows server for all of our WordPress work, but unfortunately it's not something I have any control over. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/form-redirecting-to-homepage-instead-of-sending#post-35722 Tue, 20 Sep 2011 00:25:57 +0000 Chris Hajer 35722@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>This is going to be related to running on IIS6 and the URL rewrites.</p> <p>Can you submit the form from the preview (which by default will uses non-pretty permalinks.)</p> <p>And can you try without pretty permalinks active and see if it will submit?</p> <p>I submitted a test using this URL:<br /> <a href="http://northpointfitness.com/index.php?page_id=19" rel="nofollow">http://northpointfitness.com/index.php?page_id=19</a></p> <p>And I got this confirmation displayed to me:<br /> Thanks for contacting us!
