Messages stopped sending… (possible bug?)

  • I’ve been using CF7 for years without any issue, but starting some time within the last few days (potentially some time today), the contact form has been unable to send. It just shows the spinner and nothing ever happens.

    I’ve read the FAQ, which says this is often caused by a conflict with another plugin or the theme itself. So, I deactivated 100% of my plugins except for CF7, and I switched to the default Twenty Nineteen theme, and I cleared all of my caches. But the same issue was still present.

    I’m using the most current version of CF7, WordPress, php, and everything else you can think of.

    I contacted my host about this to see if they could figure it out, and after looking into the problem they disabled the ajax load by adding this to the wp-config.php:
    define( ‘WPCF7_LOAD_JS’, false);

    And after that, the form started sending again.

    I’m not sure if this is a bug, or if it’s something you’re already aware of, but just in case you’re not, I wanted to let you know about it.

  • I have the same problem on my website… Disabling the ajax load with “define( ‘WPCF7_LOAD_JS’, false);” in wp-config.php fixed that problem too !

    Using define( ‘WPCF7_LOAD_JS’, false); is not fixing the problem – it’s just disabling CF7’s JavaScript which does lots of useful stuff including form validation.

    You almost certainly have a JavaScript conflict somewhere – consider using JS trace to find source of problem.

    @buzztone I deactivated every plugin I have and switched to the default theme. The same issue was present. What other JC conflict could there be?

    Some hosts add some JavaScript automatically to every WP install – JS trace should identify all sources.
