  • The plugin is working for me on many different websites and several different servers. Any issue you have is almost certainly due to something on your local WP install.

    See Contact Form 7 Email Issues.

    In your case I’d be asking your Hosting provider about any recent changes to their email sending policies and looking for Javascript Conflicts.

    It is always possible that Contact Form 7 didn’t install or update correctly on your site. It’s a general problem with WordPress updates due to the unreliability of internet connections.

    Delete the plugin folder at wp-content/plugins/contact-form-7/ and install the plugin again.

    Thanks for answering.

    I reinstalled the plugin, and filled in the old form info, and now get the following error:

    contact-form-7 404 “Not Found”]

    I’ve update the id number in the shortcode.

    See My contact form doesn’t appear. Instead, a code [contact-form-7 404 “Not Found”] appears.

    Thanks buzzone, but I mentioned that I’d updated the id number in the shortcode. That’s not the problem.

    You possibly still have something corrupted in your WP Install. Try to correct the problem by reinstalling elements that may have become corrupted.

    You may need to :
    1.) Deactivate Contact Form 7 and completely delete it. Then re-install it into your WordPress instance.
    2.) Reinstall your theme.
    3.) Re-upload your wp-content folder with a fresh copy.

    If you are talking about the FS Contact Form written by Mike Challis, we also noticed a strange behavior after updating to the latest version of WP and the Contact Form.

    While it still works fine when used on posts or pages, one form which was employed in a text widget suddenly inserted about 8 inches of blank space at the top of the form before the user-fillable fields appeared. We couldn’t find any way to stop this strange behavior and instead had to link to a post where the form worked correctly.

    Donshirer: no, we’re talking about ‘Contact Form 7’.
