values empty in email

Because all the fields are optional?

No it doesnt matter what i enter. It stays empty in the email

Don’t you have configuration errors in the Mail tab panel?

No, thats the strange thing. No errors and i triple checked all the fields. No errors in the console as well. I am out of clues…

Try switching to the default theme and deactivating all other plugins.

Hi just letting you know that i have the same issue; just trying to use contact forms and noticed that all fields are empty in the generated email, also have installed flamingo for fault finding, there i noticed that this is actually recording the fields and information in the inbound emails. Also using WP 4.9, also other theme specific contact form- which is working.
So situation seems for contact forms plugin : general email function is working (send etc) – field content is recorded somewhere (e.g. in flamingo ) but field content gets lost somewhere along since no info- field content is in the final sent email.

Defaulting to standard theme without any plugins except cf7 doesnt work either, the email stays empty..

I have the same problem! Updated everything to be sure nothing was out of date, but it isnt fixed yet!

Hi just saw that there was an update on the plugin few hours ago Compatible up to: 4.9.1- unfortunately i am trying with 4.9.2 where it still does not seem to work, same problem as before

I fixed the problem for myself.

Go to a contactform.
Add fields with an ID like [your-name] and save.
Scroll back upwards and go to the other tab called ‘E-mail’.
Here you have to replace all your field ID’s you used at the previous tab and save.

Now it has to work. I hope it will fix your problems to. Answer for any other questions.

thanks for the info, yep working for me now.

Do you mean replacing the values like [text text-201] to a random other number? That doesnt work for me for some reason.

I wrapped it in a table. Is that the problem maybe?
