Contact form 7 Error with SSL or wp-api or both.

So my question is first of all if contact form 7 does work with SSL sites.

Yes.

The other question would be if it can be a problem with the wp api instead.

No.

What do you have in the WordPress Address and Site Address fields in the Settings > General admin menu?

Ok,

Thank you for your quick answers.

In those two fields I have the same value: https://www.example.se.

Bump…

I have investigated even further. Everywhere, both in the database and at the settings page, the site address is with ssl.

Where can we see the site?

I managed to fix the problem yesterday.

Thank you very much Takayuki for your time.

After you asked which plugins I used I started to turn my plugins on and off to see what plugins maybe could have caused the problems. No of the plugins did anything; better or worse.

So I started looking at my htaccess file and started to commenting out rules one by one.

It turned out that it was three lines of htaccess-code that was my problem. It was htaccess code that added a trailing slash on my urls. Don’t remember if I added those lines there myself or if a plugin once did it.

Anyway, now everything is working fine and maybe someone can read this and get some help.

Thanks for your time Takayuki!

I’m having the same issue. Is the only solution to change those files in htaccess?

I having same issue.

How I fix that?

Thanks

I’m having the same issue. Is the only solution to change those files in htaccess?

Hey Guys!
I think I have found the cause of the problem and therefore the solution. Thanks to this thread.

My .htaccess has a rule to force a trailing slash after all URLs. The rule is:

# Force trailing slash
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(.*)/$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://mysite.com.br/$1/ [L,R=301]

So, as @mikele3 explained in the thread linked above, this redirection was forcing all URLs to have a “/” in the end, including the wp-json path, which is used by Contact Form 7 after the 4.8 upgrade.

I just have to add an exception in .htaccess to not redirect the /wp-json path. The final snippet is:

# Force trailing slash
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(.*)/$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/wp-json
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://mysite.com.br/$1/ [L,R=301]

Now I have the version 4.9.1 and all the forms are sending through ajax without any issue.

I hope this could help others with the same problem.

Thank you @webmoon, that has helped.

Thanks for the help @webmoon. I have a question will this completely disable the wp-json path by adding an exception you mentioned as:

`# Force trailing slash
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(.*)/$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/wp-json
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://mysite.com.br/$1/ [L,R=301]’
