    In the process of updating my functions.php to work with v3.9, my function is not getting called and causing the following debug error:
    [03-Aug-2014 21:25:33 UTC] PHP Warning:
    Parameter 1 to wpcf7_attach_instructions() expected to be a reference, value given in /home/danbro89/staging.secretfamiliesmc.org/wp-includes/plugin.php on line 470

    This is the function:
    /*
    function wpcf7_attach_instructions(&$WPCF7_Form) {
    //check if it is the Team Sign Up form
    if ($WPCF7_Form->id()==405)
    {
    // get the dropdown menu value and the corresponding instruction file
    $submission = $WPCF7_Submission::get_instance();
    if ($submission) {
    $myDocName = $submission->get_posted_data(‘TeamType’).”.pdf”;
    }
    $mail_2 = $WPCF7_Form->prop(‘mail_2’);
    $mail_2[‘attachments’] = “uploads/Instructions/”.$myDocName ;
    $mail_2[‘attachments’] = “\nuploads/Instructions/TeamSignUp.pdf”; // attach team sign up sheet
    $WPCF7_Form->set_properties(array(‘mail_2’ => $mail_2));
    error_log(“***********WRITTING TO LOG *******************”);
    error_log($mail_2);
    }
    }
    add_action(“wpcf7_before_send_mail”,”wpcf7_attach_instructions”);

    */

    Remove “&” from &$WPCF7_Form.

    function wpcf7_attach_instructions(&$WPCF7_Form) {

    Thanks so much for the quick reply. I am pretty rusty at coding (been out of the loop for 8 years), so do I need to alter the lines that use $WPCF7_Form then? (to get the form id, mail_2 access for the attachment field)

    Just replace &$WPCF7_Form to $WPCF7_Form.

    before the plugin updated (I’m not sure what version I was running previous, but it couldn’t have been more than 2 months old) This hook was calling correctly:

    add_action( ‘wpcf7_before_send_mail’, array(&$this, “contact_forms_post_submit”), 10, 2 );

    class Candidate
    {
    function contact_forms_post_submit( &$contactform )
    {
    ….
    }
    }

    and then inside that function I could use things like: $contactform->posted_data[“text-79”];

    now if I pass by reference I get the above php warning, and if I don’t, my $contact_form doesn’t have a posted_data member and I cannot add dynamic recipients to the form

    I’m running

    • Contact Form 7: Version 3.9
    • Contact Form 7 – Dynamic Text Extension: Version 1.1.0.2
    • Contact Form 7 widget: Version 1.0
    • Contact Form DB: Version 2.8.5
    • WordPress: 3.9.1

    Same problem here. Any way to fix it? I cannot modify WPCF7_Form inside the hook =(
