    Hi,

    Since a few days ago, all my text box on my Contact Form 7 forms won’t allow more than 80 characters to be entered.

    Previously they had accepted more and nothing has been changed with them if anyone could offer suggestions on how to fix this please

    Thanks,

    Jon

    See Contact Form 7 5.9.6

    80 is the default maxlength value. You can override it by setting the maxlength option.

    @takayukister The new default maxlengths for the various field types are set way too low. Please can you increase them in the plugin code to higher values. I appreciate it’s possible to manually override the default values in the shortcode, however many people using this plugin have it installed on numerous websites and updating this manually on every website is a big task. The maxlengths you have set are way too conservative.

    Many thanks,

    John

    Ah… I appreciate this plugin and all the work you’ve done over the years on this for the WP community, but @takayukister you’re kidding right?!
    This is a bit of a big deal! Not only will a lot of our fields now be sending through truncated data, but any forms which are embedding things into fields (like our signature plugin) have stopped working out of the blue.

    Please change this to at least 128 or better yet 168 characters. 80 characters default is just nuts and is going to break a heap of things.
