Making the Checkbox text a hyperlink

Change the acceptance line as follows:

[acceptance acceptance-956 invert]I accept the<a href="https://www.latorre.co.uk/contact" target="_blank"> Terms & Conditions</a>[/acceptance]

* Ideally you should link to a specific T&C page.

Thanks for this.

Sorry, I meant link to https://www.latorre.co.uk/terms-and-conditions/

Unfortunately when I tried that (below) I just got a line of text but not a link.

[acceptance acceptance-956 invert]I accept the Terms & Conditions[/acceptance]

I’ll keep it for a few minutes to show you here: https://www.latorre.co.uk/contact/

Did you copy the full HTML?

[acceptance acceptance-956 invert]I accept the<a href="https://www.latorre.co.uk/terms-and-conditions/" target="_blank"> Terms & Conditions</a>[/acceptance]

That should work. I just tried this on a test site and a) the link takes me to the T&C page for the site, and b) the acceptance checkbox works.

That’s very strange.

This is the exact code I’ve used:

[text 1="your-name" language="*"]Your Name[/text*]
[email* your-email]Your Email[/email*]
[text your-subject]Subject[/text]
[textarea your-message]Your Message[/textarea]
[acceptance acceptance-956 invert]I accept the Terms & Conditions[/acceptance]
[submit “Send”]

It’s still showing a line of text at the bottom instead of a hyperlink.

Can you wrap the code in backticks so the forum software doesn’t convert the html to a link?

Another question. Where do you get the [text 1="your-name" language="*"]Your Name[/text*] syntax from?

This plugin uses:

<label>Your Name *
[text* your-name] </label>

https://contactform7.com/editing-form-template/

Maybe this is why the html link is not working.

Try building a new form and following the guidance in the docs.

I’ve created a new contact form by clicking new and then inserting the one line of syntax into it, which should be the T&Cs as a hyperlink.

This is it (Including a backtick at the start and end):

‘[text 1="your-name" language="*"]Your Name[/text*]
[email* your-email]Your Email[/email*]
[text your-subject]Subject[/text]
[textarea your-message]Your Message[/textarea]
[acceptance acceptance-956 invert]I accept the Terms & Conditions[/acceptance]
[submit “Send”]’

Unfortunately, the link is not showing as still appears as ‘I accept the Terms & Conditions‘

Should be:

‘[text 1="your-name" language="*"]Your Name[/text*]
[email* your-email]Your Email[/email*]
[text your-subject]Subject[/text]
[textarea your-message]Your Message[/textarea]
[acceptance acceptance-956 invert]I accept the Terms & Conditions[/acceptance]
[submit “Send”]’

Sorry – the * (asterisk) after the word ‘text’ keeps converting to a ‘1’ when I post.

1) note that the backtick (`) is not the same as the apostrophe. On my keyboard it is in the top left corner.
2) Check my last message regarding the syntax you are using. I think it applies in this case.

I’m afraid this looks like it’s beaten me!

I’ve read and re-read the instructions and all about syntax and I can’t get it right.

This is the code (with backticks):

[text 1="your-name" language="*"]Your Name[/text*]
[email* your-email]Your Email[/email*]
[text your-subject]Subject[/text]
[textarea your-message]Your Message[/textarea]
[acceptance acceptance-956 invert]I accept the<a href="https://www.latorre.co.uk/terms-and-conditions" target="_blank"> Terms & Conditions</a>[/acceptance]
[submit "Send"]

I’m still getting the line of text :- I accept the Terms & Conditions

Backticks looking good!

Try deleting your Form code and inserting this in your Form page and test:

<label>Your Name *
[text* your-name] </label>

<label>Your Email *
[email* your-email] </label>

<label>Your Subject
[text your-subject] </label>

<label>Your Message
[text your-message] </label>

[acceptance acceptance-956 invert]I accept the<a href="https://www.latorre.co.uk/terms-and-conditions" target="_blank"> Terms & Conditions</a>[/acceptance]

[submit "Send"]

This is the correct syntax for this plugin.

I’m still getting the same issue.

I started afresh with a new form, deleted the syntax in the form template, then copied and pasted the syntax you gave me and this is the result, on this test page: https://www.latorre.co.uk/attractions/

PS Bizarrely, looking at my previous post on this, the line of code that I pasted has appeared on the post exactly as I wanted it (‘I accept the Terms & Conditions’).

I’ve created a test form here using that exact syntax (except I changed [text your-message] to the correct [textarea your-message]). It works as expected

I suggest you try disabling all other plugins and activating the Twenty-Seventeen theme. Then test the form. If it works and appears correctly (it should) reactivate them one by one and test each time until you find the conflict.

That’s perfect.

I will do as you say.

Thanks for your patience and perseverance!
