Form validation errors

I get the error “Failed to send your message. Please try later or contact the administrator by another method.” when using the form as is.

See Date Field

This is most likely due to a JavaScript conflict with either your current WordPress theme or one of the other plugins you are using – see Contact Form 7 Email Issues – there is a link there that covers JavaScript Conflicts.

Also see Plugin Conflicts for general guidance.

If it was a conflict with another plugin – wouldnt it cause ALL of the forms to fail? The “Take a Tour” form on the home page (https://www.solelpreschool.org), which is built with ContactForm 7, works flawlessly. As I mentioned previously, I copied the code from that one into this new one & it still failed. I made sure all the settings were the same, including who the email is delivered to, but it still gave the error.

Scripts are sometimes made to load only on certain pages, usually on as-needed bases. It is therefore not surprising to have the same form behave differently on different pages on the same website.

Here is a step by step approach to solving JavaScript conflict

1. Switch temporarily to a WordPress default theme (Twenty Eleven etc.) and see if the problem goes away.

If it does, you’ve most likely got a JavaScript conflict with your current WordPress theme.

If switching to default theme doesn’t help it could be one of the plugins you are using that is causing the problem.

2. Disable all plugins other than Contact Form 7

If doing that solves the problem, you can then add back each item – one by one, until you find the real cause of the problem.

You will need to disable, temporarily, ALL JavaScript, other than that from CF7, including anything in your theme (switch temporarily to a default theme), to get to the source of the problem.

Awesome – thanks! I’ll give that a shot now.

failed.

I’m starting over.. going to add one field at a time and test.
