Loading when adding too much text! Otherwise works?!?!

  • I recently added a bunch of forms to my site (not online/public yet) for users to submit stories. I tested the forms out initially by adding a few words to each box and they all worked.

    I then went in to fill out a full form in detail with multiple text boxes that contain more content… anywhere from 50 to 200 words for example. EVERYTIME I input what seems like more than a couple sentences, the form just loads and loads when trying to send!

    I saw all the javascript posts about a conflict, but how can this be when it works fine with less text in each box?

    Looking for some help, would greatly appreciate it before all my hair is torn out!

    ?JavaScript can change anything & everything in a loaded web page by manipulating the DOM – so anything is possible.

    ?When faced with the sort of problem you have, I always start with a basic JavaScript/WordPress testing procedure to try to find the source of the problem.

    ?Step by step approach to finding JavaScript Conflicts

    1. Switch temporarily to a WordPress default theme (Twenty Eleven etc.) and see if the problem goes away.

    If it does, you’ve most likely got a JavaScript conflict with your current WordPress theme.

    If switching to default theme doesn’t help it could be one of the plugins you are using that is causing the problem.

    2. Disable all plugins other than Contact Form 7

    If doing that solves the problem, you can then add back each item – one by one, until you find the real cause of the problem.

    I just went through a series of tests and found the strangest thing!!

    The forms work for everything I add to them, long paragraphs, images..etc.
    They however will NOT work when I put either of these 2 sentences in!

    Don’t ask how long this took me to find out lol. But if I type in:
    always having a shake OR without having to re-work

    It will just continue to load! On any of the 5 forms I have setup on my site! Now try and figure that one out. I think I have a couple hairs left to pull out.

    Thanks but that does nothing for me, this site isn’t even live yet. There is zero in the blacklist box to cause this.

    I just tested in multiple browsers and still only those sentences are not working from what I can find. This has to be the most frustrating thing after spending hours setting up all our custom forms for all our user submission pages.

    I narrowed it down to any time I include a sentence with the word “having” it just constantly loads. Every other thing I type seems to work, but a sentence (not just the word alone) with the word “having” will not send!

    For example: I am having troubles sending this

    I also spoke with my hosting to see if anything on that side and nothing was found!

    Any help, ideas, magical things I can try?… getting desperate to find a solution to this very weird issue.
