[Plugin: Contact Form 7] form not working in footer, works in content

FAQ

Can I embed a contact form into my template file?

It embeds just fine, but the interaction is off, when hitting submit it refreshes the page, and no sign of ajax interaction.

Why isn’t My AJAX Contact Form Working Correctly?

It is working in my page content though, there is another form on the page that is working?

So the HTML is valid, it does not conflict… but it is the placement that is debilitating it?

I had the same problem. Watch the placement of the wp_footer() function. They say to place it right before the closing </body>, but I had to move that right before my code for the form to work:

<?php wp_footer(); ?>
<?php echo do_shortcode( '[contact-form 1 "eNewsletter"]' ); ?>

The code works everywhere but in footer.php
