Nothing _should_ have changed in 1.5, or 1.5.1 that affects the forms… Have you checked the logs? Let me know how you get on, we can dig deeper and find out what’s going on if you can’t resolve it… ---

Not sure if it is 1.5.1, just noticed after I had updated when I was tweaking some email addresses. ---

Thanks @handshaper Yep, it’s the same behavior with what looks like a malformed path to the config.php file. We’re aware of it and are investigating. Standby for more updates. ---

@handshaper A quick update on the forms: The issue turned out to be the `config_path` value being sent with the form request. We haven’t touched this part of the forms code for around six months, so after some head scratching I found that something had changed on the server side, not in Elements. It looks like the server’s configuration for “mod\_security rule 930120" has been updated. This rule seems to block form submissions that include paths in the posted data. Our requests included a path like `../../../backend/config.php`, and removing that property immediately allowed the form to submit without triggering the 403 error on Chillidog servers. This has only affected sites hosted on Chillidog, so it’s seems likely to me that this rule was updated on their servers recently. I’m not sure what might prompted the change, but my best guess would be that it’s part of tightening security on their end. The good news: we’ve implemented a workaround on our end by changing how the `config.php` file is fetched during form requests. We have a fix ready for testing, once we’ve confirmed everything is working as expected, we’ll send out an Elements update. Thanks for your patience, your forms should be back up and running very soon 🙂 ---

Yes, there was a DDoS attack, so I assume it comes from this. @barchard can explain better 🙂 ---

Yes, as mentioned by @Fuellemann they had a DDoS attack that seriously disrupted things, which was the main reason I was tweaking my contact forms. Unfortunately, for some reason I’m not able to get the update that was pushed to fix this, as it keeps failing. Have to see if I can access it by some other means. ---
