Question About New Form IDs

    I have not had any trouble so far with the changed form IDs, but I have a question about future development. Currently, in the DOM, the HTML output near the top of the form has a hidden element that looks like this:

    <input type="hidden" name="_wpcf7" value="18608">

    This is probably a question for the developer @Takayuki. Will this element’s value eventually be updated to the new hashed ID? Or will that hidden input value remain the post ID?

    Thanks!

    Yes, the _wpcf7 field value refers to the post ID for ever. The SHA-1 hash is only used in a shortcode.

    My Form Ids appear to be corrupted.

    [contact-form-7 id=”301″ title=”Contact Us Regarding DUI”] was working, however the back end changed the form id to the following
    [contact-form-7 id=”3098036″ title=”Contact Us Regarding DUI”]

    This has happened with all of my forms –
    here is another example the form ID was previously a 3 digit number.

    [contact-form-7 id=”a2cae2d” title=”Contact Us Regarding Behind the Wheel Training”]

    How do I fix this? What could have caused this?
