I’m using version 2.0. I had only just installed it yesterday through WordPress.

Thank you – it worked!

I’ve had the same problem as well and found a way to solve it without hacking either this plugin or CF7.

It stems from the CF7 update which began using a new REST API for validating the fields. It returns a field wrapper class (span.wpcf7-form-control-wrap) that the script uses to find the field and display the resulting validation message. The CF7BS plugin does not use this class in its field group wrappers, and hence the messages are not displayed.

To fix this, add this code to your theme’s functions.php:

// BEGIN CF7BS validation messages hotfix

function filter_cf7RestResponse( $response, $result ) {
	// Quits processing if validation passed
	if ( 'validation_failed' != $result['status'] )
		return $response;
	// Alters wrapper classes in every field
	foreach ( $response['invalidFields'] as &$field ) {
		$field['into'] = str_replace( 'span.wpcf7-form-control-wrap', '.form-group', $field['into'] );
	}
	// Done
	return $response;
}

add_filter( 'wpcf7_ajax_json_echo', 'filter_cf7RestResponse', 10, 2 );

// END CF7BS validation messages hotfix

It alters the wrapper class in the REST response to the class used by this plugin (.form-group).

^ I can confirm that.

There are no settings for this, I have looked into the code and the phrase is hardcoded.

No, for just this one phrase it would be overkill.

At any rate, altering the code directly solved the problem for the website where I used it (although I had to disable updates for this plugin). I just wish for the author to take this change into consideration for future versions.

Yes, that takes care of it momentarily, but it is not upgrade-proof.

The plugin author should’ve added a filter call where you can insert you API key, as supported by the regular ACF Google Maps field.

Alright, thank you for the fast reply.

Hmm, well thought. I deactivated the plugin (WP-Compress-HTML) and this was indeed the source of the problem.

Thank you for your assistance!
