Hello, my soapnote and some other soap notes are not working.
There is an error message “There has been a critical error on this website. Learn more about troubleshooting WordPress.”
Can this be fixed? Thank you

Hi I have created a SOAP but it wont generate/calclate at the end! Can you help it is called Initial Assessment OT.
SOAPnotesays:
Hi – I will take a look at it. One thing I noticed is that the parameter ‘name’ for at least one of the form fields has a space in it.
For instance: Client name: [textarea name="Client Name"]
When it hits that space between Client and Name it crashes. There’s a few other ‘names’ that have spaces in them. That could be causing the problem. You could have the one above be ClientName or Client_Name. Either of those would work.
Please help me… I am unable to calculate my note. Also, is there a way I can download it for offline use?

I’m struggling to figure out how to/if I can put a drop down menu with a conditional field. For example, when assessing caffeine intake, I want a drop down with two options: endorsed or denied. If I select “denied” then the following sentence would populate, “Client denied any current caffeine use.” If, however, a client reported drinking 4 cups of coffee, then I would select “endorsed” and the following sentence would populate, “Client stated s/he currently drinks four cups of coffee a day.” The number of cups and the type of beverage would have multiple options for me to choose. Hope that makes sense…

Thank You sooo much!

I’m struggling to figure out how to/if I can put a drop down menu with a conditional field. For example, when assessing caffeine intake, I want a drop down with two options: endorsed or denied. If I select “denied” then the following sentence would populate, “Client denied any current caffeine use.” If, however, a client reported drinking 4 cups of coffee, then I would select “endorsed” and the following sentence would populate, “Client stated s/he currently drinks four cups of coffee a day.” The number of cups and the type of beverage would have multiple options for me to choose. Hope that makes sense…

Hello, I’m wondering if this website is still being monitored/used? I worry about putting so much time into creating a template for the website to be taken down.

Is there a way to add others soapnotes to favorites so it is easier to find them when trying to look it up again?
SOAPnote says:
Hi – the site used to have a feature like that, but I was concerned about privacy and cookies. I will look into bringing it back. Thank you for using the site!
