WordPress 4.0 Breaking

Need more info. Any error messages? Are you sure it’s CF7? I haven’t had a problem with it in WP4

I am also experiencing problems with wp 4.0 only the text area is showing and the email to and name fields aren’t showing. It seems the css isn’t pulling through from contact form 7.

Same problem here, with this page -https://www.mp3bymail.com/contact-us/

I got three emails yesterday, each came through fine. Then I upgraded to WP 4 and the messages thereafter have all failed.

When I go through to the mail database via the WP control panel I can see the messages people have tried to send.

Are you using akismet in the fields that aren’t working? If so, move the akismet attribute to be after the field name.

Has the plugin been fully tested on version 4 of wordpress? Is there going to be an update?

@cocoonfxmedia, @jeffunderwoodwp & @2001web – The plugin is working for me on WP 4.0 on a few different websites. You will probably be mistaken if you focus on this happening since the last update – it’s most likely just a coincidence.

@mashwebdesign – try deleting the plugin folder at wp-content/plugins/contact-form-7/ and then install the plugin again.

Next try following:

Step by step approach to finding problems

1. Switch temporarily to a WordPress default theme (Twenty Eleven etc.) and see if the problem goes away.

If it does, you’ve most likely got a JavaScript conflict with your current WordPress theme.

If switching to default theme doesn’t help it could be one of the plugins you are using that is causing the problem.

2. Disable all plugins other than Contact Form 7

If doing that solves the problem, you can then add back each item – one by one, until you find the cause of the problem.??

Yesterday was a very, very bad day. A couple of minutes after posting yesterday my website was taken down by my host. When I submitted a bug report they (eventually) told me my account had been hacked. You can imagine but I hope never experience, the rest of the day.

Thankfully I found the great people at Securi who for a modest subscription sorted it all out for me. They gave me a list of all the infected files and indeed some were associated with CF7. Late yesterday, after some negotiation with my hosting people, the site was put back up. That gave me all I had before (WP 4 plus CF7) and I’m pleased to say it does all work OK now.

I have to agree with buzztone – it was a coincidence, of the very worst kind.

It seems to be working a member of staff left a id of a css which hide the form. Sorry..

Hi Guys,

Thanks for all of the replies, i have been away.

The error i am getting after enabling wp_debug is:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 41943040 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 7680 bytes) in /Users/adamcollins/Documents/Sites/Mash Clients/Shire/wp-admin/includes/list-table.php on line 66

If any of you WP Masters! can share some advice id be seriously appreciative.

Adam

Also, tried using twenty fourteen theme and installing it but still have the issues.

@mashwebdesign – Part 2 of the step by step approach I suggested above is equally important. In your case running out of memory is a further indicator of a plugin issue.
