Lead forms (B4)
Thank-you / success state after submit
This guide helps you act on one scan finding. It is not legal advice or a compliance verdict.
What to fix
Expose a stable thank-you or success state the scanner (and your tags) can detect after submit.
Step-by-step fix
- In the form plugin, set confirmation to redirect to a dedicated /thank-you/ (or similar) URL, or to a persistent on-page success message with stable text/DOM.
- Publish that thank-you page with a clear H1 such as “Thanks” so detection is unambiguous.
- Avoid confirmation that only flashes for <1s and disappears.
- Purge caches on both the form URL and the thank-you URL.

Use the additional settings / FLAMINGO notes plus a custom DOM success class, or redirect via a small mu-plugin if you need a hard URL.
