Wordpress Ninja Forms Submit Button Stuck on Processing

Wordpress Ninja Forms Submit Button Stuck on Processing

When a user clicks the submit button the form is posted and the information is saved in the database. However, the button text hangs on Processing and the user never get confirmation. The console error returns the following

jquery.js?ver=1.12.4-wp:4 POST  500 (Internal Server Error)

In this case, wordpress was being hosted in an aws environment and the form had an email trigger. Ninja forms was able to save the information but when it handed off the email duties to the smtp plugin it failed by timing out. The solution was to add the smtp connecting port to the aws outbound firewall.

I think you are using a hook, disable that go to functions.php remove line like this

add_action('ninja_forms_after_submission', 'custom_ninja_forms_after_submission', 10, 1);

I hope this will fix your issue.
