The action you have requested is invalid

Question

I am using EE 2.4

Dummy signup: http://tensports.zeecdn.com/test-login-native.php

When I click on register it gives me an error The action you have requested is invalid.

I am submitting a form with action ="http://tensports.zeecdn.com/ee/index.php/register/login-signup"

Can I get some guidance on this?

In case if you want to refer the code :

<form id="signupForm" action="<?php echo $STATIC_URL;?>ee/index.php/register/login-signup" method="post">
    <input type="hidden" id="form_status" name="form_status" value="signup">
    <li class="emId remReg"><a href="javascript:void(0);" onClick="javascript:validate_signup();"
        class="acLogin">Register</a>
    </li>
    </ul>
</form>

Answer 1

You will get that error if you have secure forms enabled, and you submit a form without including a valid XID in the post.

Add this to your form:

  <input type="hidden" name="XID" value="{XID_HASH}">  

You can disable secure forms in your config, although this is not recommended:

$config['secure_forms'] = "n";
