I noticed a problem with a customer’s XForm earlier; no matter how many times I posted data, I was not able to find it through the Edit mode Form Data-tab. It was not until I marked the checkbox Show data for all pages that I got any hits. The XForm data exist in a table…

404 error page when accessing Root Folder or Recycle Bin in EPiServer Edit mode
An annoying problem that sometimes occur in EPiServer websites happened to my new EPi 6 R2 the other day. I have seen it before but always seem to forget what the reason is, and have to waste valuable time looking to solve it. So, here it is. Hopefully it may save somebody a bit of…

Removing empty fields from EPiServer XForm e-mails
A customer asked me to see what I could do for their XForm order notification e-mails today.
