Same issue here, but with the WP Email Users plugin.

You might want to think about adding a plugin specific prefix to your function names.

You can do this in the form settings under the ’email’ tab.

Using four exclamation marks and calling the documentation confusing (which I can understand) and outdated (which it isn’t), is not very supportive towards a plugin developer who has been maintaining this plugin for many years for free.

Contact Form 7 is a plugin that might take some time to fully understand. But when you do, it is very powerful and you can create all kinds of forms with it. If you need a fancier plugin with drag and drop or other than community support, this isn’t your plugin.

To go back to your question, if you are looking for more examples or documentation, try googling for it. It will bring you this Mini Guide by Tuts+ for example.

If you need specific help, explain what kind of form you are trying to create and someone here might be able to help you. That’s what community support is for.

The plugin only allows you to choose a custom header image, not custom header text.

With regard to the header text, it only let’s you choose whether to show or hide the default header text on specific pages and which font color to use.

All of this only works if your theme supports these default WordPress custom header functionality, which for TwentyThirteen should be the case.

Well, you could either delete those widgets from the sidebar or select a full width layout for your posts (thus hiding the complete sidebar). Additionally, you can also use a plugin like Display Widgets to specify where to show or hide certain widgets (for example, only showing these widgets on the home page and/or archive pages).

OP hasn’t replied to your solution, but since I had the exact same question, I tried it. And just to let you know, it works exactly as expected. So if you could include this in a future version, that would be great.

Are you using the [your-email] tag in the form as well? And is it set to be a required field?

Sorry, but I’m not the plugin author. Only a user giving some support here on the forum. So this goes a little beyond that.

Did you check whether it might be a css issue?

There is a – missing in between ‘your’ and ’email’. It should probably read [your-email], unless you changed this in the form itself.

You can easily find out whether the PHP mail function is the issue, by trying the reset password option for WordPress. If you don’t receive that email either, the issue is most probably with that.

However, if you can receive the normal WordPress mails, than the problem lies somewhere else. Did you double check that you’ve set up the email address properly? And did you also check your spam folder?

Could you provide a link to the site?

Sounds like maybe the update didn’t completed successfully. My suggestion is to try to upload the plugin files via FTP and see if this fixes the issue.

It is explained in the docs how you can take care of this this yourself: https://contactform7.com/loading-javascript-and-stylesheet-only-when-it-is-necessary/.

The information filled in the form is send by email to a designated email address. Nothing is stored anywhere by default. However, you can choose to store the information in your sites database and access it from within WordPress by using an extension plugin.

I have had the same problem on some sites, but this had nothing to do with the plugin itself. Types is a rather large plugin and on the sites where the problem occurred, the update process hadn’t successfully completed. Probably due to a php memory time out or something. This occurred the site not to work properly and in one case, resulted in the white screen of death.

Uploading the plugin files via FTP fixed the issue for me. So be sure to first check whether the update process went well or not. If in doubt, just upload the files again via FTP and see if it fixes things.
