Hello,
has this been fixed with 14.6.10?
No. I do not use the comment form function and do not test them. This is the only AJAX thing that is not done with the WordPress AJAX features. The reason for that error is that lib_WPcomment.php is not loaded in WordPress context. In the original cforms this was the case with every AJAX call, so cforms had to import the WordPress bootstrap code, which is very bad plugin behaviour.
I do not know, when I will fix it.
This should be fixed in 14.6.11. Please confirm and close the thread.

Thank you for caring!
This has not yet been fixed.
There is no error anymore when clicking on “send” and the comments seems to be posted.
But the comment does not appear under “comments” in WP admin, the comment data is lost.
If the mail option of the form is enabled, the admin gets a mail with the comment-data, but it has a “empty” subject A comment from {Your Name} and is sent in HTML, although HTML-Mail is disabled. Version 14.6.6 used to send a text-mail.
Would you please provide an url where this is the case? I cannot reproduce it.

We’re using cforms as comment form on our website literaturcafe.de.
You did not include the special comment field “Select: Email/Comment”, which leads to that behaviour. I did not check why it is okay up to 14.6.6.
Either you add that field to your comment form or you download the development version from https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/cforms2.zip
I made the field optional for comment forms.

The “Select: Email/Comment” seems not to be the problem. It has always been included in our comment form. It’s just not displayed (hidden via css), because we don’t need this functionality.
Nevertheless I installed the dev-version, but as expected it made no difference. Still only a HTML-Mail to the admin but comment is lost and does not appear in the database/admin-screen.
Switched again back to 14.6.6 and it works.

Any news/changes here in 14.7.?
No, I do not think so. You could watch your browser’s network traffic console (there is one in every major browser) on submitting the form with versions > 14.6.6. Which parameters are in the HTTP post?

The form insertion seems not to be the problem. The form is and has always been included with insert_cform('17')
But I do notice a difference in the submitted form-data when checking the post-data:
With 14.6.6 it’s
rsargs[]:17$#$Test$#[email protected]$#$http://www.literaturcafe.de$#$Testeintrag2$#$0$#$EX3$#$+++0+++16955+++http://www.literaturcafe.de/amazon-kindle-paperwhite-fuer-99-euro/***
With 14.7 it’s
rsargs:17$#$Test$#[email protected]$#$http://www.literaturcafe.de$#$testeintrag$#$0$#$HFR+++0+++16955+++http://www.literaturcafe.de/amazon-kindle-paperwhite-fuer-99-euro/$#$
Okay. What action does the generated form point to in v14.7? It should be http://www.literaturcafe.de/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php
This URL is checked via JavaScript cforms.js in line 194 (v14.7) and adds the *** which signals a comment form.
