• After updating to the latest version of CF7 (5.2), I am seeing the red alert box on the form before the form is submitted.

  • Yep, same here. In Chrome only though. Not Edge.
    This <div> is displayed
    <div class=”wpcf7-response-output” role=”alert” aria-hidden=”true”></div>

    I get the same pesky empty red error box under all my forms on page load. I have to go through the page and close them!

    See my screenshot: RedBox Issue

    It’s a cache issue, clear all cache, theme + browser.

    The same problem. It persists even though I cleared the cache. It occurs in Edge and FireFox.

    The website where this problem occurs (home page and dozens of others in website): https://institutsalutholistica.com/

    It’s not a cache thing. My clients site has no caching plugins and htaccess isn’t caching anything either. Just went from my wife’s laptop whose never been to this particular site and the red box is there still. This HAS to be a bug with the new update.

    I had the same problem after the update.

    I have the same issue.

    Hey there,

    we have the same issue – but only with “Avada” as theme. With dozens of other themes we don’t see this problem. PHP version doesn’t seem to be responsible, too – we tried PHP 7.1 to 7.4.

    @takayukister, perhaps that helps to track down the bug.

    Many greetings,

    Me too, how do we get rid of that red rectangle ?

    Steve

    Same here, but a black rectangle below the contact form

    I got the same problem and a quick fix was to inactivate and activate the plugin. I hope this helps for you too. (using Avada)

    I also use the Avada and I deactivated the plugin and reactivated (as mentioned above), and it appears to have solved this issue.

    True !!!. After deactivating and activating the plugin, the alert boxes have disappeared. Thank you very much Lidali.

    Solution:
    Click Avada -> Theme Options -> [Save Changes]
    to reset the Avada theme cache.
    (Click [Reset Fusion Caches] under Theme Options -> Performance would do the trick too.)
    Then clear plugin, CDN and , browser cache.
    It’s because CF7 updated the style.css and Avada cached the CSS in theme cache(combined CSS)

    if ( function_exists( 'wpcf7_plugin_path' ) ) {
    			$cf7_styles = file_get_contents( wpcf7_plugin_path( 'includes/css/styles.css' ) );
    			if ( function_exists( 'wpcf7_is_rtl' ) && wpcf7_is_rtl() ) {
    				$cf7_styles .= file_get_contents( wpcf7_plugin_path( 'includes/css/styles-rtl.css' ) );
    			}
    			$cf7_styles = str_replace( '../../images/ajax-loader.gif', wpcf7_plugin_url( 'images/ajax-loader.gif' ), $cf7_styles );
    
    			$styles .= $cf7_styles;
    		}
    

    i am having the same issue, deactivating/activating cf7 plugin didn’t resolve the issue,,any idea on how to fixed this?
