I’m using siteorigin too, but disabling their plugins doesn’t solve the issue, for me anyway

Hi, sure…

When the form is completed it sends an email to the client (website owner). At present that email comes from the name and email of the person who completed the form.

This is what I want to be able to change.

I should have also added remove the name field from your form first.

Simply create two required text fields, like this:

[text* firstname]
[text* lastname]

add placeholders if you wish, save the form, then go to the mail tab and you’ll see [firstname] and [lastname] mail tags available to put in the mail field.

Could you please explain where to change the code to fix this? thanks.

Inspecting the form which is having issues produces a reference error: assignment to undeclared variable donationtype. This error is in the “jquery validation for contact form 7” plugin you have installed.

Try temporarily deactivating just that plugin and submitting the form again.

@shelob9 –

Further to my query, I found this but cannot seem to get it to work.

I realise that the code was last updated a few years ago but from what I can see it should do what I need, if I can get it to work.

Any suggestions please?

*Would have been better, I meant…

I see, would have been informed / given a caution at the time because I had no idea i had done wrong, but no matter. I would like it removed please.

You can’t let end users create fields, no

You could use the conditional fields plugin here to hide most of the fields from the user. Then use a drop down box to ask them how many they want (i.e. 0-5, 5-10, 10,15) and create conditional rules based on the drop down to show as many fields as they need.

Of course, you would have to create all the fields in the contact form initially, but the end user wont see them unless they choose an option in the drop down.

Hi Josh,

Thanks for your reply. I’ll take a look, but i’m not that much of a coder to be honest, i’m still a novice. However i’ll see what I can do. From what I can see i’d have to purchase a licence of some sort in order to open a support ticket?

Look in the mail tab, in the email content do you have [phone] somewhere? If you’re not sure post your form code and email code here and i’ll take a look.

I’m unsure why the field isn’t getting the CSS from your theme, i’m by no means an expert but if it were me I would use a colour picker to find the background colour of the other fields and then add

background-color: (whatever hex value the other colour is);

before the closing bracket above.

A quick google found this, https://themegrill.com/support-forum/topic/styling-fields-in-contact-forms/

Try the css mentioned there

input[type="tel"] {
 background-color: #f8f8f8;
    border: 1px solid #eaeaea;
    border-radius: 3px;
    line-height: 20px;
    margin: 0 0 30px;
    padding: 1%;
    width: 98%;
}

Obviously you’ll need to remove the width css I mentioned before.

Try adding this in custom css

.wpcf7 input[type="tel"] {
 width: 100%;
}
