[Plugin: Contact Form 7 (CF7)] Shortcode Error

    Getting the following error message upon entering phpBB Forum integrated into WP, using Atahualpa v3.3.3, via WP-United mod:

    Fatal error: Call to a member function add_shortcode() on a non-object in /home/thehol9/public_html/09/06/WP_2.8/wp-content/plugins/contact-form-7/includes/shortcodes.php on line 125

    Disabling CF7 solves the problem of entering the phpBB Forum integrated into WP via WP-United mods.

    However, once CF7 is enabled, we receive the error message above.

    Have cleared SQL DB entries related to CF7. Did not resolve.

    Have reverted back to WP default theme v1.6, activated CF7 plugin. Did not resolve.

    We’re not sure if CF7 is causing the error or just exhibiting systems of the error.

    All other plugins work and have tried disabling those, too.

    Site works just fine without CF7 enabled.

    Any clues?

    Thanks.

    RESOLVED:

    We did try other contact forms but, Contact Form 7 was certainly better and had worked within the last three weeks. Unfortunately, the other contact form plugins just didn’t give us what we needed.

    After a week of troubleshooting, we posted this topic in hopes of running across someone with the same issue, though we finally figured it out late tonight.

    CF7 v1.10.1 is the ONLY current version which works with WP v2.8.2, WP-United Connection v0.7.1 Beta (phpBB3) plugin and phpBB3 v3.0.5 with WP-United v0.7.1-RC1 mod.

    The Atahualpa theme we discovered had no function in this plugin conflict after further testing. Using the Default WP exhibited the same issue. Therefore, we decided it wasn’t a theme issue.

    It appears the CF7 authors have moved into two new versions plus a beta version in short time, where we believe there may be coding issues inadvertently generated.

    We continued with the CF7 plugin upgrades, from v1.10.1 to v2.0 however, didn’t immediately discover the conflict. We believe this may have been a cache issue and once the cache was flushed during routine maintenance, we discovered the conflict.

    For now, as of the date of this posting, we will stay with v1.10.1 until further testing.

    Thanks for the reply samboll.

    Hope this helps others.

    I think this works…

    In the file [wp dir]/wp-content/plugins/contact-form-7/includes/shortcodes.php

    Before
    $wpcf7_shortcode_manager = new WPCF7_ShortcodeManager();

    Insert
    global $wpcf7_shortcode_manager;

    Remove your “I think”, your fix works!
