[Plugin: Contact Form 7] The spinning arrow is spinning all the time

@esmi, Seen that already and tried the solutions mentioned: disabling all plugins and using the default theme. Didn’t work

Hello esmi. Thank you for the quick reply.

The only item I see in the FAQ with regards to the spinning arrows is #15.
“The spinning arrow icon shows up once I submit a form, but then nothing happens.”

As you can see by my post above this has nothing to do with my issue. The arrow spins all the time from page load. And the form submission process works fine. The only issue is a constantly spinning arrow.

In short, if you tell me where in the plugin this line of code is

<img class="ajax-loader" style="visibility: visible; zoom: 1; opacity: 1; " alt="Sending ..." src="/wp-content/plugins/contact-form-7/images/ajax-loader.gif">

I can remove it and be on my way (I don’t need the animation). Thank you.

Sorted out that in my case (see above) that there was a problem being caused by my feedblitz subscription code that was causing the search button to also malfunction. Updated the feedblitz code, and voila, all was working again.

Thanks for the suggestions and help, everyone!

I had the same problem, form validation was not working and after submitting the arrow continues spinning indefinitely. However email would arrive. The only plugin I installed after Contact form was working was Akismet, disabled it did not help, and I upgraded to newer version of WordPress now 3.0, contact form is version is 2.4.2.

I’m happy t report that for me Simon’s solution (in Cadred’s post above) works.

Once again, add to your contact form in form creation window at the top:
<p style=”visibility:hidden;”>[file upload]</p>

Worked for me ??

Same problem, none of the solutions here work for me. Can anyone else help?

I have the same problem. solved it by removing any file upload field. it works like that. but i need the file upload field ??
any ideas?

Hi, the hack with
“<p style=”visibility:hidden;”>[file upload]</p>”
worked for me too.

OK… i have searched through forums and found a solution to my particular problem:
I’m using mystique theme and got a jquery problem. now i’ve just overwritten the js folder of the theme with the js folder of Mystique-Version 1.7.2
??

davidperriard,

Not sure I follow. It sounds like you just said you updated the js folder of the theme with the js folder of the theme (Since Mystique is your theme).

Are you saying the theme provider provided an update which fixed this issue?

I appreciate any input you can provide. Thx.

I was able to remove the spinning arrows by editing

contact-form-7/modules/submit.php

Find:

$html .= '<img class="ajax-loader" style="visibility: hidden;" alt="' . esc_attr( __( 'Sending ...', 'wpcf7' ) ) . '" src="' . esc_url_raw( $src ) . '" />';

Replace with:
$html .= '';

Hi,
I’m having an odd issue: the contact form is working fine on my local installation, but not on the live server: the loading arrow keeps spinning and the form is not sent.
The form validation though works correctly (i.e. I get the warnings when I try to send an empty form)

I’ve updated the plugin to the latest version, turned off all the other plugins, tried all the above solutions, and still it doesn’t work on the live server. Any idea what it could be?!?

I’ve also checked that the hosting server allows function php mail() and it does…

Any help is much appreciated.. I really don’t know what else to try…

Hi, I’m too having the spinning arrow problem after clicking send. I found out that in my case it is happening on a form on a members only page. It is not happening on a form that is visible to everybody.

Also when i disable Buddypress, the problem is not occuring.

Anybody else experienced this? I could do with some help on this one, since i tried all suggestions that are in the faq of the plugin.

This fix also worked for me. Thanks a bunch!

<p style=”visibility:hidden;”>[file upload]</p>

How does this works: <p style=”visibility:hidden;”>[file upload]</p> ?

I got the same problem, however when I put the <p style=”visibility:hidden;”>[file upload]</p> within my form, the upload button disappears? So how should this work?

Hi.

Then? there isn’t solution? I got the same problem.. =(

PD:
<p style=”visibility:hidden;”>[file upload]</p> .That makes the field disappears, it isn’t a solution.

Thks
