Actually, the regular way of specifying the text area works, too.

But, its handling of the number of columns is different than that of the handling of the length of text or email fields.

For example, a text or email field that is specified with a width of 28 roughly has the same width as a textarea specified with a width of 21.

If you work your way up from a smaller textarea to the proportions you ultimately want to see on the screen, you will see how it changes.

Here’s an example of the form:

<p>Name:<br />[text* your-name 28/100]</p>
<p>E-mail address:<br />[email* your-email 28/100]</p>
<p>Phone number:<br />[text* your-phone 28/100]</p>
<p>Message<br />[textarea* your-message 21x5]</p>
<p>[submit "Send"]</p>

To use it in the sidebar, install the “PHP Code Widget”
and place the PHP Code widget on the sidebar. You can then
reference your Contact Form 7 form from within the widget
by entering
<?php echo do_shortcode('[contact-form 4 "Sidebar Contact"]'); ?>
where [contact-form 4 "Sidebar Contact"] needs to be adjusted
to whatever number and name applies to your form.

Update: Several hours later all of the submissions suddenly arrived in one fell swoop. Makes we wonder if there was something wrong and/or misconfigured at the provider’s end (which for the sites in question was GoDaddy).

I am encountering the same behavior, albeit with WordPress 2.9.2 and Contact Form 7 version 2.2.

The response message “Your message was sent successfully. Thanks.” is displayed by captcha once the form has been submitted, but the emails never arrive.

I did not change anything on the form, only upgraded to 2.2.

Unfortunately I don’t have access to the mail server’s log files.

Are there any other steps that would help in troubleshooting this issue?

Thanks for working on this plugin, staxxx. Unfortunately it does not seem to generate any output when I include
<?php echo wpTestimonials_output(); ?>
in the sidebar.

Is there a newer version available by now?

I tried to visit your plugin’s homepage at

https://wp-plugins.staxx.nl/wp-client-testimonials/

but all I received was an error message:

Forbidden

You don’t have permission to access /wp-client-testimonials/ on this server.
Apache/2.0.52 (CentOS) Server at wp-plugins.staxx.nl Port 80

I’ll gladly assist with beta testing if that’d be of any help to you.

I am using WordPress 2.7.1 with the latest version of Contact Form 7.

In the left section of the “Form” section, I have defined (albeit with a larger table):

<p>Type of Service</p>
<table border="0">
<tr>
<td> => Service Category I </td>
<td> [checkbox TypeOfService "Service1"] </td>
<td> [checkbox TypeOfService "Service2"] </td>
</tr>
</table>

In the “Message Body” section of the “Mail” section, I have specified:

Type(s) of Service: [TypeOfService]

Yet, the checked boxes are not listed in the email.
