Please Fill The Required Field

  • Hi, when a field is completed wrong, or missed when it’s required, the message PLEASE FILL THE REQUIRED FIELD shows up in red.

    That would be fine except that message displays over the top of the field and will not go away. The user cannot access that field and has to hit REFRESH which deletes the entire form completed form info.

    Help? Suggestions?

    It indicates that your theme applies wrong style to Contact Form 7’s fields. Try switching to another theme, or contact the theme author and ask to fix it.

    So you advise that I change themes because of this bug? Really? That’s not the answer. I’ll probably have to change my form plugin if you can’t fix.

    Hey mibtp,

    I was running into the same annoying problem, and this fix worked for me…
    Try changing the error message style to the floating-tip type. Here’s a page with the instructions:

    https://contactform7.com/customizing-validation-error-messages/

    the default style is ‘static’, but changing this style will remove the error message upon hover of the text field. All I did was add this code:
    html_class=”use-floating-validation-tip”
    to the line where the contact form is added on the page in the admin panel, and it fixed it right up for me.

    Hope it works for you too!
