Success message doesn't show up

RE: I also tried disabling Javascript in wp-config.php but to be honest it didn’t change a thing.

??You may not have done this correctly – all of CF7’s Javascript is definitely still running on your link.

I tested your form again in a couple of browsers. Is possible that you have hidden the CF7 green Success message using CSS styling?

I added these lines to the bottom of wp-config.php

/* Contact Form 7 Javascript disable */
define('WPCF7_LOAD_JS', false);

That should disable the Javascript, right? Any idea what may have gone wrong?

Buzztone, I received two your e-mails (one regular and one tested on Chrome). And I went through the custom CSS settings (as follows) and I didn’t find there anything related to CF7. Well, see for yourself though.

I want to stress once again how I appreciate you helping me out. Merry Christmas, buzztone! ??

Hi

I had the same issue.
I just found out (5 minutes ago) that adding the following in Additional Settings worked out for me:

on_sent_ok: "location = '/contactform-send.html';"

Hi Robin,
I added your code to Advanced settings but it doesn’t redirect to the success page upon submission. It seems like the form doesn’t know that it’s been sent successfully…

Buzztone, would it be any help if I gave your access to the WordPress administration? If so, please provide me your e-mail address where I can send details.

RESOLVED!

The things was hidden in Additional settings in the particular form. I had on_sent_ok action hook there to track submissions with Google Analytics. I use Google Analytics by Yoast plugin and recently I checked in an option Ignore traffic from Administrators. That means that tracking code doesn’t display on the website when you as an admin are logged in. So this JS conflict (couldn’t find the __gaTracker object) resulted in not showing up the success message.

Then on the testing site when I disabled all the plugins including GA by Yoast, there was again no __gaTracker object so that why it failed there as well.

The good news was that the form has been working well for regular site visitors. So this problem was showing up only to me as I was logged in most of the time. I disabled that Ignore traffic from Administrators functionality to see the JS success messages once again.

Hope that will help someone ??
Cheers!

WOW!!!! Thank you, Jan for diligently and relentlessly getting to the bottom of this. I was having EXACTLY the same problem. I’m not sure how to make it work when I’m logged in as an Admin, but like you at least I can see that it works for regular (non-logged-in) visitors.

I was using Contact Form 7, Really Simple CAPTCHA and Google Analyticator (with Admins not tracked). Looks like Google Analytics by Yoast and Google Analyticator work the same (and cause the same odd behavior with the javascript).

Problem solved!!! THANK YOU, AGAIN!!!
