Erratic form behavior on redirects

  1. I have a registration form for users to fill out to access my research area:

    http://www.jobboarddoctor.com/research-reports-access-registration/

    The form is set to redirect to the research download area when it is successfully completed:

    http://www.jobboarddoctor.com/survey-results/?

    The problem is that it seems to work for a while - maybe 5-10 submissions. Then it quits working and users get a 404 message. If I open up the form in WP, everything looks fine. So I close the form in WP - and magically the form starts working again. Until the next time it fails.

    Any idea what's going on?

  2. If you are getting 404 errors then it is a server related issue permalink issue, not a Gravity Forms related issue. Something is up with your permalink setup, or your URL rewriting rules with your .htaccess.

    The download area page you referenced above (http://www.jobboarddoctor.com/survey-results) is returning a 404 error when I just go to it. Gravity Forms isn't executing any code on that page so it can't be causing the 404 issue.

  3. I have the download page set as a 'Private' page in Wordpress. Could that be causing the problem?

  4. Yes, that could be causing the problem. A Private page won't be accessible to most people. Private pages require that a user be logged into your site in order to see it.
