Embedded form on my WP site won't submit

    I created a simple form and embedded it into a wordpress site.

    When you get to the submit button, you get a "Please wait" for forever.

    The form submits just fine from the direct form link. this is only happening with the embedded version of the form. I have used embedded jot forms many many times before, so I'm not clear why this is happening.

     

    Here is he form: https://form.jotform.com/61508210808147

    Could be due to script conflict.

    Before we will dive into troubleshooting the problem on your page, we suggest to re-embed your form using iframe embed code. Since the form will load directly into the iframe container, it will not conflict anything on your page. This should also fix the problem.

    Please let us know how this goes. Thank you!

    Wordpress doesn't seem to recognize the iframe embed code. When I paste it into the page, it just shows up as code. What I'm using the the specific wordpress code y'all provide.

    If you use a self-hosted wordpress version, please try with a code for WordPress.org platform.

    Sorry, I was using the wordpress.org code to begin with.

    Not sure if the issue is still there, if form is still stuck on please wait when trying to submit it, please do let us know, also provide us the link where your form is embedded that would be helpful.

    It's still stuck on please wait.

    For some reason, when I tried to re-embed the wordpress.org code, the browser wouldn't recognize/embed it. It will recognize the wordpress.com code, but it won't allow you to submit.

     I have successfully embedded jotfoms on this site previously using the wordpress.org code.

    Here's the link to the page it's on.

    Have you tried embedding the Embed/iFrame code into a Text tab?
