Elementor Popup not redirecting or collecting submissions - popup

I have an Elementor popup that I created via their standard options within the plugin (so no special/custom coding has been done). The after form submission options that I chose are to collect submissions and redirect. Neither of those items are happening. Yes, I've verified I have 'collect submissions' chosen and yes, I've verified I have the full, correct URL listed.
I've also Googled, and searched Elementor's knowledge base extensively for help with this. I'm not coming across anything that would indicate the reason for the popup to not function correctly.
I've deleted and created a new popup thinking the original was maybe corrupted somehow. That did not help.

Mailchimp Embedded Sign up form not displaying Captcha

I am using mailchimp embedded sign up form. It displays Email Account, First Name and Last Name, but captcha is not showing. I enabled captcha from Settings->List Name and Defaults.
What other steps do I need? Captcha is not showing in Preview Mode Option.
Please help, getting lot of fake emails. Double opt in is also enabled.
Had the same problem. Make sure its V2(checkbox) NOT V3. Documentation here: https://mailchimp.com/help/about-recaptcha-for-signup-forms/
The Sign-up forms have invisible not checkbox re-captcha.
Source: https://mailchimp.com/help/about-recaptcha-for-signup-forms/#Enable_reCAPTCHA
You can find the summary in the below image.
I came here looking for an answer. Followed the instructions to enable the reCaptcha. After reloading website could not see it. After finally trying to submit the form it took me to a mailchimp external page with the reCaptcha showing. Makes sense when you think about doing some kind of server side check for a reCaptcha with minimal installation fuss.
I've run into the same problem, and this is what I have found.
I set the url to https://s3.amazonaws.com/downloads.mailchimp.com/js/mc-validate.js, not sure if that helped, but it's one less spot for failure
You might need to announce somewhere to allow for pop-up's to be allowed on the page when the captcha shows. It seems that when that option is enabled that it opens up a new windows for the confirmation.

Facebook like button press does not stay liked

I'm working on a site for a client. The site is built in Joomla and is using a Facebook like button on each page. When a user clicks a like button it unclicks itself after a second or two.
I've seen several similar problems here but none have provided enough insight to help me figure out what to do to fix this problem.
I ran the page through the Facebook debugger:
https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/og/object?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.theartoflove.net%2Findex.php%2F9-blog%2Fmen%2F27-go-ahead-and-ask-her-out
but I don't have a clue how to figure out what that result is telling me. The URL I used as a test in the debugger is:
http://www.theartoflove.net/index.php/9-blog/men/27-go-ahead-and-ask-her-out
Anyone know what I need to do to fix this problem? It seems to happen regardless of what like box I put on the site (I've tried three different ones so far).
My sincere thanks for any help!
When I clicked the like button, a small 'CONFIRM' link appeared under the "Like" widget, i had to click the 'CONFIRM' link (which brought up a dialog box asking me to confirm that I liked the page) in order to get the "Like" to stick.
See image
Facebook sometimes makes the arbitrary determination that your page is 'spammy' and adds extra precautions like 'CONFIRM'. That may be part of what is going on.
The code is reentrant and the developer is flipping the bit instead of verifying the current state with a conditional before setting the value. (This is a common coding mistake. Too common.)

Facebook - click on a like button does not increase the like count

After searching the internet and doing my own research on this subject I still can not find the answer to my problem, so here it is.
When I click the like button (to like my website http://openarchitecture.cz) then the like count is not being increased.
Debugging the FB javascript code on client-side (in Chrome) and examining the ajax response
send back from FB servers after the click on "Like" button, revealed that FB is instructing the Like button to be "disconnected", resulting in the behaviour described below.
The term "disconnected" is a strict FB term (in a sense of a javascript code), it means that on client-side there will be used a "plugin" that will perform certain operations leading to "inactivity" of like button. Technically, when the plugin "disconnect" is beeing recognized as part of the ajax response, there is an array of predefind actions (functions) that will be followed and called sequentially.
Now for the reproducibility of the problem.
Go to http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like and fill the "URL to Like" field with http://openarchitecture.cz
url.
Click "Get code", then click "Ok" on the pop-up and finally click "Like" button on the right.
The like count should increase. Instead a pop-up shows up for (aprox.) 1 sec.
then the popup disappears. Now I am in the same state as before I click the
like button, i.e. like count is not increased.
I have found similar questions here on SO, but none of them seems to finally
resolve the issue.
The related questions here on SO are:
1. http://facebook.stackoverflow.com/questions/5195183/facebook-like-button-flashing-on-then-off/12958474#12958474
2. Facebook Like button does not work on one website?
One of the suggestions was that this migth actually be a FB bug. I found a (very recently created) bug, reported in FB bug tracking system. The bug is located here:
http://developers.facebook.com/bugs/268340209965207?browse=search_512b8e0bed9724580954683
The bug has however "Low" priority an so far it does not seem to be resolved (it might even be returned as not a FB issue, I am not sure if this possibility is still open).
So for all interested in this.
Is this a real FB bug ?
How have you dealt with this ?
Could it be that my site is for some reason on FB spam/black/"whatever nasty" list ?
Well. This will end up like the other posts, i.e. no lesson learned here.
[The term "page" used later in this post represents the http://openarchitecture.cz page]
I just tried today to like the page again via the FB generated like button (on http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like/ ) and the result is now ok. So the like count gets increased after clicking the like button.
The difference that I observed when checking the request exchange to FB servers is that this time the communication has been done (by default. i.e. using the XFBML version of the like button) over iframe, not direct ajax call (as was in the past for XFBML).
I dont know what was the cause (I tried the pure iframe version of like button before) but the response going back as a result of the mentioned iframe request is now correct, ie. FB sends back response instructing javascript in client browser to use "connect" plugin not "disconnect" plug-in.
One more thing. One month ago I have created a FB profile (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Openarchitecture/125515934292877) of the page and have done some updates to this profile. So maybe FB decided that the page (being referenced from FB profile) has now earned the provilige to be "liked".
Like I said at the beginning. Problem solved, but no lesson learned.
For me, the problem (Like popup disappearing after a second; "Plugin","disconnect" response) was happening when the Like button URL redirected to another URL.
The fix was to add og:type, og:url, and og:title (required per https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/opengraph/object-type/website), then running the URL through the Facebook debugger to clear the cache (https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug).

Facebook Like + Send button broken?

On the facebook documentation page if you click the "Send" button in the default example, it pops open a new window that looks to be just the like/send button repeated.
I take it this is because it's broken in some way, either that or my browser (and that of my colleagues is severely broken)
Does anyone else suffer from the same fate? Does anyone have a fix?
Side note - on our website this was working fine yesterday, it appears to be a new issue.
There's a bug report about that: Send button opens new tab.
Also, looks like there are a few issues with the button as you can see in the bugs tagged with Send Button
I haven't voted you down (I rarely do), and I have no idea what were the reasons for that, but it is better to first research before asking a question here, as you can see it was easy to locate the bug(s) in the official facebook bugging report system, also if you search here you'll find more questions regarding this issue (and a few from today).
Yes, I have found that the code issued by Facebook for combination Send/Button is not working as of Sept. 27 2013. The Send button throws up a blank screen, instead of the Facebook email dialog box. This code from here https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like/ did not work. Note this applies to JavaScript code, not old IFRAME code which is being deprecated.

Form POST returns 302 from within Joomla, works great outside

I have a form that submit a shopping cart to Google Checkout. The form works great on it's own, but when I put it inside of Joomla (using a content-type of wrapper), Google Checkout throws a 302, and the form page is loaded again.
As I was writing this, I then decided to see what happens from the static form, outside of Joomla. It took gets a 302, but Google Checkout loads.
If I go directly to the request url listed in the resource inspector (using chrome for this), I get an error:
Oops!
We were unable to process your request.
That happens on both the Joomla wrapped form and the stand alone.
However, both forms receive response headers, with a Location url that goes to Google Checkout, and in fact loads the proper data.
Any ideas how to get this working inside of Joomla? Or what I might be doing wrong?
I don't know this stuff well enough to explain myself too well, so if you have a clarifying question, I'd be more than happy to provide as much info as possible.
The issue was in fact that the form was trying to redirect the entire page from inside an i-frame. Brought the form out into a component and it works fine.
