Required fields not working with new WP 4.6

    Previous version of WP worked fine. Now on some forms the required field works and on other forms it doesn’t. Seems to need the required field on form tag to send out email to <[your-email]> in mail section.

    Both forms have the same form tag and mail tag – works on one form but on not on the other. I see there are problems with email as well. Additionally other required fields in the form also not working. If I take out the required part the form will submit.

    When using a required field such as [text* fname] I get an yellow boxed error in submitting the form saying the field is required when in fact it is filled in.

    Seems there are quite a few quirky things in this upgrade. I have many clients who use this form (upwards of 30) so hoping it will be fixed quickly!!!

    Also gives confirmation errors on Mail2. Tell me how this is incorrect syntax? Link to image:

    I am using Opportune. Haven’t yet made it a child theme as wanting to make sure this works as is. <G> Just the free edition.

    UPDATE:
    I changed the ../mail.php from return wp_mail(… to return mail(.. to see if that helped. Not sure that it did.

    But on one of the forms with tables, none of the data was submitted in the email. Everything is blank but the labels are there – no data from the form. This form is also the one trying to send Mail2 to another email. Not good.

    Found a solution… on this topic:

    Thanks to Barnez for the solution/workaround. I had changed the plugin /mail.php to mail from wp_mail and took out $attachments. Then wasn’t sending info from some of the larger forms. Had the ability to add the Custom function on my theme (if not you could add a custom functions plugin). Put everything back to “normal” and then added Barnez’s suggestion with the add_filter:

    add_filter( ‘wpcf7_validate_configuration’, ‘__return_false’ );

    Thanks so much- Worked for me! Crazy thing to try and solve.
