[submit “Send”] forever pending and not submitting

  • Hi,

    I’m pretty new to using wordpress and website design. Basically, I installed the contact form 7 plugin and copied the shortcode to the page on this link.

    I left everything unchanged except for the “To” mail address under the mail tab to my own email. When you hit “send” on the contact form it gets stuck forever pending and doesn’t submit.

    Form tab code:

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

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

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

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

[submit "Send"]

    Mail tab:
    To: [email protected]
    From: [your-name] <[email protected]>
    Subject: ANU Actuarial Society “[your-subject]”
    Additional header: Reply-To: [your-email]
    Message Body:
    From: [your-name] <[your-email]>
    Subject: [your-subject]

    Message Body:
    [your-message]

    This e-mail was sent from a contact form on ANU Actuarial Society (https://anuasoc.weblogs.anu.edu.au)

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

  • Your CF7 form setup looks generally good.

    Following may cause parsing problems:

    Subject: ANU Actuarial Society “[your-subject]”

    Try instead without surrounding “”:

    Subject: ANU Actuarial Society [your-subject]

    But the most likely cause of your problem is a JavaScript conflict with your WP theme or one of the other plugins you are using.

    The spinning arrow is a common sign of a JavaScript conflict.

    Switch temporarily (nothing will be lost when you switch back) to a WP default theme & disable all plugins other than Contact Form 7 to see if the problem goes away.

    If it does you can switch back to your theme & re-activate each plugin one by one to see when the problem occurs.

    Hi,

    Thanks for your suggestion.

    I removed the quotation marks “” from my subject in the mail tab. I also did as you suggested and deactivated all active plugins and changed to a WP default theme (I changed to Classic version 1.6 theme by Dave Shea). I then reactivated CF7 and copied the shortcode over to this link.

    I did a test of the contact form: typed my name, my secondary email and a few random words in the subject and message. I hit send and it had the same problem. It is forever pending and won’t submit. I’m quite lost on what to do.

    Is it possible to use a different contact form plugin? Or is there still some other way to fix it?

    Same problem. I have tried a lot of things without a result:

    I tested your site – it definitely looks like a JavaScript conflict & I’m surprised changing themes & disabling all plugins didn’t find it.

    As a temporary stop gap measure you may consider stopping Contact Form 7 from loading any JavaScript.

    You will lose all of CF7’s Javascript functionality which is quite useful.

    You can use Contact Form 7 Controls to disable all Contact Form 7 JavaScript via a simple option.

    For me, it works: “Disable AJAX for this form”
