    Is there a way to allow a user to view what values they've submitted on another page / or in the same page before before hitting on the submit button

  2. There isn't any preview functionality before submitting the form. It's something we're planning on adding for a future version of the plugin though.

    Good to know that this functionality is coming soon. Ok, can we like allow the user to hit submit, and the submitted values are then displayed in a blank page.

  4. Yes, you can insert the {All_Fields} token in the Confirmation Text box and it will output all the form data that was submitted in confirmation message that appears.

    If you wanted to display it on a blank page it's more complex. You'd have to redirect to a custom page you create, and pass all the form field data via the query string builder for the Confirmation Redirect. Your custom page would then have to read and display the query string values.

  5. Is there any guide to reading/displaying the query string values?

  6. We don't currently have a guide. Reading/displaying query string values is standard PHP using GET. Here is an example:

    PHP would have to go in your theme template, or some sort of plugin that allows you to execute PHP from within the post content... which isn't always recommended.

    Here is a plugin that adds a shortcode for doing this from a post:

    http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/get-getter/

    It looks old, but may still work. There may be others on the WordPress.org repository also.
