CF7 4.1.2 – Issue with "placeholder"

Can I see the site?

My test site is HERE ! ??

Where is the form?

Form without “placeholder text”
> https://www.vendran.com/shop/?page_id=310

And a form (with placeholder) in the home page header

??

I couldn’t find the form in the home page header.

I have create another page with a form with placeholder code
> https://www.vendran.com/shop/?page_id=315

His shortcode is : [contact-form-7 id=”314″ title=”form placeholder”]

The form is :

[text* your-name placeholder “Your Name *”]

[text your-subject placeholder “Subject”]

[email* your-email placeholder “Your E-mail *”]

[text your-issue placeholder “Your Issue”]

[textarea your-message placeholder “Your message”]

[submit “Send”]

??

What other plugins and theme do you use?

My 5 active plugin :

Aksimet
BackWPup
CodeStyling Localization
WP-Memory-Usage
Contact Form 7

??

Try deactivating all other plugins and switching to the default theme.

I have desactived all other plugin and switch on default theme … but it’s the same ! ??

Check your PHP error logs. If you are not familiar with that, you can also try WP_DEBUG temporarily.

WP_DEBUG actived (on True)

Issue solved !

It’s just a problem with ” in the code !
The form code come to a copie/past and this caractere ” made the issue.

Good to hear that. Don’t forget to deactivate WP_DEBUG.

I’m having a problem where my placeholders are actually getting in the way of validation. If I remove my placeholders then the form validates as normal. Its doing it when I use text* input. It just won’t validate or recognize errors when I have a placeholder added to the code. here is my code:

[text* first-name class:size-1 placeholder “*First Name”]

I tried rearranging the code so that class is at the end but that just hides my input field.
I also tried making all the text “text only” in case I ran into your problem above with the “
being a problem. Not the case.

I’m using the latest version of both WP and CF7

Thanks!
