The same thing was happening to us on an epidemic level. I tried everything. Finally I seemed to completely eliminate the problem by installing a simple CAPTCHA into the form. The testimonial will now only submit if the person types a matching number from the CAPTCHA.

That's something you might want to look into implementing to see if it helps/

no, but installed on a test site zc156c php7.3 with TM. Added the Vat mod and All works.. The script for images is setup to re-code image to strip out location info and ML bugs, then renames them for storage.. All done before sending to your server.

I'm not running php 7+ due to a problem with the paypal code since 1.5.5 for payflow uk

Any chance the problem is with php 5.6.40?

Yes... Although untested, everything in the image rewrite PHP says is supported in php5 - 7+ however, I think the sql statements may throw errors too.. I don't have anything older then php7.2 installed right now to test with...

Blast!

The issue only happens if the customer doesn't select to upload an image, if I choose to upload an image it works as expected, however if no image is uploaded the submitted image is saved as

Submited image:
includes/classes/observers/auto.vat_for_eu_countries.php

instead of a blank value

Also noted that when a testimonial is submitted the avatar is being saved with a double // in the database

So file saved as

avatars//img_01.jpg

I can not recreate the errors to even get a image save to come closes to that folder.. I don't see any configurations that would allow for that type of a cross up. I would switch off the image upload for now... I would guess theirs something going on with the old php that does not agree with the code.

avatars setting in admin, remove the ending / or at lest check for doubles..
