I was getting a 403 Forbidden error. The entire error is copied below.

I deactivated all plugins, deleted and clean-installed GF, upgraded everything, and the form still failed. I did a lot of testing and XML editing and narrowing down, I found that the problem is caused by the word "echo" in one of the radio buttons.

To test this, I created a radio button and typed in "echo" as the Field Label, and it fails. Replace the word "echo" with something else and it works.

My guess is that this is a problem caused by confusion of PHP keywords in the GF code. How do I get around it?

Thanks.

The entire error:
403 Forbidden

This does not happen on my server, but I am not using Lightspeed. I suspect it has more to do with security restrictions on the server (disallowing "echo" in the $_POST) rather than an error in the Gravity Forms code. I will bring it to the attention of the development team though and see if there is someone using Lightspeed so we can test more thoroughly.

In the meantime, can you check with your host for any sort of security logs which would log this 403 status code? Thank you.

After checking with the development team, there is nothing in Gravity Forms which would cause this. This is likely a security restriction from your host. Were you able to check with them for any sort of logging which would help debug this?
