    CF7 would display a message once form has been submitted “Successful” however since installing Flamingo this no longer happens the icon on the bottom left keeps spinning.

    Clicking on Flamingo via WP and click on inbound I see messages from clients, however this is not being delivered to my inbox, I have to go to WP, then flamingo to view any submissions.

    Where can we see the website in question?

    The conflict caused by CF7 v5.4 is two fold.

    One, if your caching plugin is derring JavaScript then it breaks CF7. If you have WP-Rocket they have issued a fix for the conflict. The WP-Rocket fix can be replicated in other caching plugins by excluding the deferral of this JavaScript script.

    /wp-includes/js/dist/(.*).js

    But even with this fix in WP-Rocket or another caching program, CF7 forms will fail after 24 hours due to the author’s use of nonces (security tokens). The only way to workaround the problem is to refresh your page cache every 24-hours or uncache the page.

    I don’t consider this a solution, just a workaround due to the performance implications. Both fixes will degrade performance and hurt SEO.

    @pca2014 did you experienced the CF7 issue also on websites that are not under a caching system ?

    The easiest way to check if you’re being affected by JavaScript (deferment/combining) or caching is to log in as Admin and test the form. Logged in users automatically bypass all caches to include the minification (deferment/combining) of Javascript. If the form works, then somewhere Javascript is being minified (deferment/combining) and/or your pages are being cached. Both problems have to be solved for the form to work.

    To be clear, a website doesn’t require a WordPress caching plug-in to be cached. Some themes have caching functions and some hosting plan servers have caches built in too. If you’re using Cloudflare (minification/rocket loader) that could possibly have an affect.

    I rolled back to the previous version of CF7 5.3.2 because these fixes have a negative affect on performance.
