Validation isn't working, but form is actually submitted

    It appears as though nothing is happening on the front-end, but emails are being sent from the form.

    – Submitting an empty form displays the loader image, but no validation messages.
    – Submitting a filled out form submits the email, but the loader image keeps spinning and there is no success msg.

    It was working perfectly on my dev site with Media Temple hosting, but after migrating the site with UpdraftPlus to HostGator hosting this issue started occurring.

  • The spinning arrow is a common symptom of a Javascript conflict with either your current WordPress theme or one of the other plugins you are using – see Contact Form 7 Email Issues – there is a link there that covers Javascript Conflicts.

    Setting define(‘WP_DEBUG’, true); in wp-config.php helped me find it!

    Host Gator was forcing the WP Super Cache plugin to be installed within wp-config.php, but because I migrated the plugins from my dev site it just left an empty reference to the plugin.

    Thanks for the help though @buzztone, it got me to the solution in a way.
