Problems with Checkboxes after Update

Hi @rabox66 , your problem description is not very specific about what exactly does not work anymore.
I am affected by a checkbox/radio button problem that might be a problem for you, too:
https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/swv-enum-rule-fails-for-checkboxes-radio-buttons-with-surrounding-whitespace/
So if you are using whitespace surrounding your radio buttons or checkbox values, then I recommend to follow this support request.

Where can we see the website in question?

Hi ,support team.
Unfortunately, I’m unable to provide a link to the bug, as the issue needed to be resolved urgently. I managed to fix it by downgrading to CF7 version 5.9. Here you can see the form, but the bug is not visible in the moment: https://dr-tauber.de/kontakt/

However, I’ll describe the bug in detail:

1. I was using a required checkbox field.
2. I tried multiple ways to embed it, as there was a linked description included, which made the setup a bit tricky. Even the simplest setup (e.g., adding a checkbox shortcode followed by a <p> tag containing text and a link) failed.
3. In all cases, clicking the checkbox immediately triggered the red validation warning.
4. After downgrading to CF7 5.9, the issue was resolved.

I hope this description helps. While I can’t upgrade the live site to reproduce the bug, I’m happy to assist in any other way. If needed, I can create a staging site, though I’d prefer alternative solutions if possible.

Please let me know how you’d like to proceed.

Thanks very much,
Raphael

Try using the following code on pages with forms (requires jQuery – if $ is undefined, replace with jQuery):

$('.wpcf7 input[type="checkbox"]').on('change', function(e) {
	e.stopPropagation();
});

Hi Gal Baras,
thank you for that idea. I can try that jQuery, that looks intersting. But what I do not understand, that is, that there is a problem after a major update and nobody reacts. The plugin worked perfectly on 5.9 and on 6.0 it does not.
Thanks

Hi Gal,
I had a deeper look at your code. Unfortunately it does not help. My problem is, that the chackbox itself does not work anymore. As soon as I am using a checkbox CF7 does not work anymore. It is not after changing the checkbox. It is always.

I don’t see my code on your site. When I add the following code in the brower console, validation is no longer triggered on your page when the checkbox is checked or unchecked.

jQuery('.wpcf7 input[type="checkbox"]').on('change', function(e) {
	e.stopPropagation();
});

Try this, because it can work even when $ is undefined.

Disclaimer: I haven’t tried submitting the form, only checking/unchecking the box.

This problem has been there long before the recent update, and several people have reported it, but for some reason, @takayukister shoots it down as a “wontfix”.
