Magic Forms Error and Success Messages Not Showing

[LinkBrown]

Hey All,

I recently switched from October CMS to Winter CMS and have been having major issues with the Winter CMS version of Magic Forms. I have the form set up, with rules, and messages, but no matter what I do, I can NOT for the life of me get an error or success message to trigger.

For instance, I have Required rules and error messages set up. Whenever I submit a form without one of those fields filled out, the corresponding error message isn't showing. I also can't get the Success message to show either when submitting the form.

Any ideas? I've tried custom messages with JavaScript, I've relied on Magic Forms error messages, and have even straight up removed all Custom JavaScript to try and get this to work and nothing is working.

Thanks for any help or advice!

@LinkBrown can you provide a link to the plugin you're using and a screenshot of the page with the dev console & network tabs open?

Hey Luke,

I appreciate the quick response. I absolutely could do this, but quite literally as soon as you responded I found out the issue and why the Flash Messages weren't showing.

I will still provide a link to the Plugin, since I do believe this issue will hit more people than just me. I would like to also document what I did to actually solve this issue as it seems so dumb now but could easily happen especially when customizing the form.

The plugin was this one here: https://packagist.org/packages/josephcrowell/wn-magicforms-plugin

The issue I was having was related to this specific line:

(replace contactForm with your form alias). This specific line was missing and thus causing the errors AND success messages to not show.

Adding this into my form under the {{ form_token }} line caused the messages to finally start showing up. This issues PLAGUED me for days until just now.

I apologize for wasting your time (if I did). If I had gave up I probably would've been able to utilize your expertise in the matter. Thank you so so much for your reply and taking the time to help with my issue. I have no doubt I will likely run into an issue that I won't be able to solve.

Have a great day everyone!

If you run into this issue exact issue, here is what was causing the messages to not show for me:

The issue I was having was related to this specific line:

<div id="contactForm_forms_flash"></div>  <div class="form-group">

(replace contactForm with your form alias). This specific line was missing and thus causing the errors AND success messages to not show.
