Email won’t validate? Possible fix.

Saw a couple prior posts about people having trouble getting the form to actually validate emails. I had a similar problem adding the Emma plugin to an existing site.

I discovered that the site was set up with wp_footer(); running before the <footer> html block that contained the Emma shortcode. Appearing after wp_footer(); prevents the form from validating any email addresses.

Moving wp_footer(); to be properly just before </body> so that the shortcode’s output is before wp_footer(); allows the form to function correctly.
