    Re-upload a fresh, unpacked, copy of the plugin’s folder to wp-content/plugins using FTP or whatever file management application your host provides.

    Can you elaborate on why this will fix it? I am confused because I still see that function in the php file.

    I just did both a WordPress auto-update, and then a manual install by removing and unziping and I still see this line in both cases:

    wp-contact-form-7.php:  define( 'WPCF7_PLUGIN_BASENAME', plugin_basename( __FILE__ ) );

    So, anyone know how to fix this bug?

    @bwooster47 – The plugin is working for me on many different websites and several different servers. Any issue you have is almost certainly due to something on your local WP install.

    I didn’t receive any form-generated emails that day so not sure what’s up. Maybe a spammer?
