Contact form 7 AJAX not working

  • The contact form is added through a shortcode.

    <? echo do_shortcode( '[contact-form-7 id="153906" title="Kontakt"]' );?>

    Somewhere I read something that the shortcode could be causing this problem, but I didn’t understand anything.

    Any ideas what’s going on?

  • Searching for my own resolution to a different issue I came across a article which made a reference “certain plugins block access to the WP-Admin folder and that this is okay provided the site does not use AJAX”. I am totally new to WP and don’t really know what all this is about but maybe you have something which is preventing access to the WP-Admin folder and if that truly is a requirement for AJAX to function, this might then be a clue to help find your solution.

    Apologies in advance if my reply proves useless.

    To elaborate on what crinkel suggests, all properly implemented Ajax in WP is channeled through /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php. There are certain security measures people use to block access to /wp-admin/ which would also block access to Ajax. Sites using front end Ajax need to have an exception for admin-ajax.php (and maybe admin-post.php) if /wp-admin/ is to otherwise be blocked.

    Failure of CF7 Ajax would not be limited to security measures. It’s conceivable some other plugin or even your theme could accidentally be interfering with CF7 Ajax. Shortcodes don’t really have anything to do with Ajax. Shortcodes generate HTML content. CF7 Ajax is invoked from jQuery script that is also loaded onto the page from external files independent of shortcode.

    To best help you resolve issues with CF7, we recommend people ask in CF7’s dedicated support forum where its dev and expert users are in the best position to help you. I see you already posted there. To keep replies in one place, I’m closing this topic. Anyone having suggestions for laptopsticker should continue at:
