Internal Refferal Fields Not Populating

    Official UTM fields from Facebook are coming over and populating fine via ContactForm 7, but the plugin’s internal functions (like “[handl_landing_page]”) are not and just populating the tag name in brackets.

    Any idea what the issue might be?

<p>[tel* your-phone minlength:10 maxlength:16 class:required watermark "Phone"] </p>

<p>[textarea your-comments watermark "Comments/Questions?"]</p>

    Hi @jdiamondprogressive,
    Can you confirm the version you are using? If it is not the latest (v2.4) can you update the plugin to the latest version and re-try?
    Thanks

    Yes, this installation is only a matter of days old and was installed directly from the WP directory.

    I see no updates available.

    can you link me a page where you see the shortcode tag?

    Sure. Great thanks:

    Now that page refers to a form with the above code in it.

    correct me if I am wrong but I do not see any shortcode (like [handl_landing_page])?

    Yes, Contact Form 7 works by using a shortcode include that references a built form, but doesn’t actually include the form code in the page.

    The form code was pasted above.

    I am confused, I actually see that they are generated and the cookies were captured in the form, please see the image below

    Hmm…ok, well that’s good actually. Here’s the email template that’s supposed to display and send the data to us.

    For Contact Form 7 on WordPress:

    Yeap this actually should work. The funny thing is I am recording a YouTube video right now, and it is almost exact same template I used in the video and it worked on my localhost ??

    Hmm…see, and it’s getting the top core UTM stuff…just not the urls…maybe something to do with the pre-populated nature of them, or the ” “…I’m grasping at straws here…

    oh, i see what’s going on… you have to use the “name” field in the template. So for your case (given the field names in your first post), it should be like this…

    Referral to site:
[original_ref]

Landing Page:
[landing_page]

Referral to form:
[ref]

IP:
[ip]

URL:
[url]

    This should fix your problem.

    As soon as you try this, May I ask you to go to this URL and review the plugin if you find it useful. It will help us to reach more people!

    Thank you!

    Doh, how’d I not see it? Alright, will try this in the AM. I copied those fields from the documentation, so maybe the docs could be clarified a bit when you get a chance.

    Will update you.
