Success even not firing

    Hello,

    So, I’m trying to get the plugin in working on our corporate websites(s). I use your plugin extensively on other sites with the same server and wordpress version so I know it works.

    What happens is that when I submit the form, the spinner starts and never ends. However, the data gets e-mailed (and also pushes to our salesforce account via some php code I found to do the job). However, it never gets a success message and never show the user that it was sent. I’ve disabled all other plugins (including my custom site plugin that has the function for sending the submitted form to salesforce) and at the same time used switched to the TwentyFourteen theme – so more or less barebones, and it still does the same thing.

    I did some inspecting through the Google Chrome console and there are some jQuery ajax errors. It appears that might be the problem. Here is the output:

    POST https://192.241.178.107/contact-3/ 500 (Internal Server Error) jquery.js?ver=1.10.2:5
    send jquery.js?ver=1.10.2:5
    x.extend.ajax jquery.js?ver=1.10.2:5
    f.fn.ajaxSubmit jquery.form.min.js?ver=3.50.0-2014.02.05:11
    b jquery.form.min.js?ver=3.50.0-2014.02.05:11
    x.event.dispatch jquery.js?ver=1.10.2:4
    v.handle jquery.js?ver=1.10.2:4

    The page with the form is at: https://192.241.178.107/contact-3/

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks,
    Isaac

    Same problem here.

    I was having this issue too and read through the hundreds of posts out there from over the years offering various suggested solutions. I tried many of them and none of them worked. The plug-in author states that it is other poorly written plugins causing the issue and to disable them and see if it fixes the issue. I tried this without success but the one plug-in I was NOT disabling was the “Really Simple Captcha” plug-in designed by the same author to work with Contact Form 7. Finally as a last ditch effort I de-activated “Really Simple Captcha”, removed the short codes from my forms, and what do you know – they work! Now this was a site that I took over from someone else, and maybe it was how “Really Simple Captcha” was implemented, but everything worked until the WordPress 3.8.1 update. My next step is to take a look at the “Really Simple Captcha” documentation and see why it was causing the issue but I thought it would be worth posting this to help others and maybe get some feedback from the author or anyone else.

    Thanks!

    Thanks for the notes MTIRWK. Like I said as well, I’ve disabled ALL plugins and the theme (using TwentyFourteen as a test). I would really love to get this running and resolved, otherwise I have to figure out another solution entirely. I’d say it is likely a javascript issue. Is CF7 not compatible with the newer jQuery (1.10.2:5)? Or maybe that message above has nothing to do with the issue – but I’m guessing the ajaxSubmit is part of the form handling.

    I’m not sure if this is technically resolved. But I did find out that after about a minute of spinning I now get a response page from salesforce. I tried Gravity Forms with the same speed issue. This might be just the speed of salesforce accepting the data and giving back a success.

    Alright. The speed issue wasn’t the CF7 plugin at all. This was improper host settings on my digitalocean server droplet.

    A simple fix for that short of installing an smtp server is here:
    https://deeemm.com/m-blog/entry/general/fix-your-painfully-slow-php-mail-function

    The lag was due to the e-mail (which I’m not really using) taking forever to send so the JS event took forever to fire which made for the 1 minute spinning after submitting the form.

    It turns out using the WordPress plugin “Forms: 3rd Party Integration” to map the fields for salesforce works fine and sent the data immediately, it was only the e-mail (which again I’m not really using as salesforce and our other marketing automation software will send the mail) was the hold-up.

    There is also a PHP solution, by the way, that works instead of that plugin (the plugin was based on this same code they say) that also works:
    https://www.alexhager.at/how-to-integrate-salesforce-in-contact-form-7/

    Bottom line: Make sure that your PHP e-mail and host file is set up properly so the mail doesn’t lag for a full minute.

    P.S. I would be interested in finding out how to bypass the e-mail function altogether. I didn’t see anything about this. If you don’t put an e-mail for the first e-mail, it gives a fail to the user, but in actuality it still sends the data to salesforce. It would be nice to disable the e-mail feature altogether.
