About ARForms – SMS Add-On 1.5
ARForms SMS Add-On is an add-on for the ARForms form-builder plugin. The name tells you its job: sending text messages tied to your forms. The listing gives no feature list, so which events send a message, and which SMS gateways are supported, aren't stated; check the documentation in the package.
ARForms must already be installed. An SMS service normally needs its own account with a provider, and messages are billed by that provider, not by the add-on. The file on record is version 1.5 and dates from March 2020. Test it on a staging site with your current WordPress and ARForms first, and send test messages before using it on live forms.
Requirements
- ARForms plugin (the parent plugin)
- An account with a supported SMS provider
Key features
- SMS for ARForms
- Adds text-message sending to forms built with ARForms.
- Add-on design
- Works inside ARForms rather than as a separate form plugin.
- Form-driven messages
- Intended to send messages when a form is submitted; check the documentation for exact triggers.
- Gateway details left to the docs
- The listing doesn't name supported SMS providers.
Is it right for you?
A good fit for
- ARForms users who want submitters or staff notified by text
- Sites that need quick alerts for enquiries or bookings
Look elsewhere if
- Sites that don't use ARForms
- Anyone who doesn't want an SMS provider account
How to install ARForms – SMS Add-On 1.5
- 1
Download the file
Open My Account → Downloads and download the product. If the archive contains several zips (documentation, child theme, licensing files), you need the one named after the product.
- 2
Upload it to WordPress
In your dashboard go to Plugins → Add New Plugin → Upload Plugin and choose the zip.
- 3
Install and activate
Click Install Now, then Activate. If an older or free copy is already installed, WordPress offers to replace it with the uploaded version.
Notes for this product
- Install and activate ARForms before this add-on.
Setup: using ARForms – SMS Add-On 1.5
- Install ARForms. Make sure the parent plugin is active and has a form to test with.
- Activate the add-on. Install it and check the documentation for supported SMS providers.
- Enter provider details. Add the credentials from your SMS provider in the add-on settings.
- Set the message and test. Choose the recipient and text on a form, submit a test and confirm it arrives.
Common problems and fixes
No text message arrives after a form submission
- Why it happens
- The provider credentials are wrong, the number is in the wrong format, or the provider account has no credit.
- How to fix it
- Re-enter the credentials, use the full international number format, and check the provider's dashboard for errors.
“The link you followed has expired.” when uploading
- Why it happens
- The zip is larger than your server's PHP upload limit (upload_max_filesize / post_max_size).
- How to fix it
- Raise the upload limit in your hosting control panel, or unzip the file and upload the folder to wp-content/plugins with your host's file manager or SFTP.
“The package could not be installed. No valid plugins were found.”
- Why it happens
- The uploaded zip is a bundle (or a theme), not the plugin itself.
- How to fix it
- Unzip the download once and upload the inner zip named after the plugin.
“Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.”
- Why it happens
- Usually a PHP version older than the plugin needs, or a second copy of the same plugin (for example the free version) still active.
- How to fix it
- Check your PHP version under Tools → Site Health → Info, deactivate any other copy of the plugin, and enable WP_DEBUG_LOG to see the exact error.
Licence or “updates unavailable” notices
- Why it happens
- The developer's licence key isn't included. Features that call the developer's servers (template libraries, cloud APIs, automatic updates) need it.
- How to fix it
- Everything that runs locally works without it. For a newer file, use Request an update from your account.
