Email address field label gone

    Since the start of November, the field “Email address” (or however I name it in the backend) doesn’t display that label. The field is shown (with the “*” asterisk marking it as obligatory to fill in), but without the label.

    The problem started with the LiteSpeed Cache plugin update. Not sure if it’s related, but I think it’s worth noting.

    PHP 8.1.

    PHP warning code (if that’s relevant):

    [02-Nov-2022 11:13:28 Europe/Berlin] PHP Warning:  Cannot modify header information - headers already sent in /home/username/domains/mysite.com/public_html/wp-config.php on line 22

    Hi,

    We found the issue, and we will fix it in the next plugin update.

    Almost 6 months later, this bug is still present. For me, it started occurring once I upgraded the website to PHP 8.1. Note this is a very high severity issue, because if the Email field label is not displayed, and it’s a required field, users won’t know what they need to enter in that field and won’t be able to submit the form. Please fix this!

    I just noticed there was another thread about this same problem from a year ago with a promise to solve it in the next version, which never came. At this point, I doubt this problem will ever be fixed officially, so here’s a quick hack to fix it yourself. In the contact_form.php file, go to line 1030 and replace the following:

    $cntctfrm_options['email_label'][ $lang ]

    With:

    'Email:'

    (or whatever you want your email field label to be)

    We apologize for the delay. We are changing and fixing a lot in the code for the best experience. The delay in updates is related to the war. We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for the temporary solution.
