Setting the form select input css via jquery at top of my function seems to stick.

$('.wpcf7-select').css({ "width": "100%", "height": "42px" })

Not sure why other methods of declaring css weren’t working. But as long as this solves it for me, I am moving forward!

(I think this is jquery/moz browser problem, rather than CF7 issue)

Thanks again Takayuki Miyoshi for great plugin!

Another strange thing to note … when I visit the form first time in browser, the hidden div selects will display themselves correctly!

But in subsequent visits to the page, it is only then that the hidden divs become shrunk back down to empty width and height.

So, maybe something to do with the jquery? Hard for me to say. it is deflating the width and height of the inline select input style, and not re-inflating it! for lack of description ??

I have also now tried setting height of those elements via CSS, but still the same problem.

Only happens in Chrome / Android, and Firefox browser. Seems okay in IE. .. have not tested Safari / iphone.

Here are the markups for two select inputs from my form. The first one is in a div that is not set to ‘display:none’ or hidden via jquery .. note that it is given a width and height inline. The second is from inside the div that is hidden, then made to appear through a jquery click action on a separate element. Why is that second input not being given a width and height??


<select class="wpcf7-form-control wpcf7-select hasCustomSelect" aria-invalid="false" name="equipment-code" style="width: 1130px; position: absolute; opacity: 0; height: 42px; font-size: 14px;">

<select id="joblist2" class="wpcf7-form-control wpcf7-select wpcf7-validates-as-required hasCustomSelect" aria-invalid="false" aria-required="true" name="joblist2" style="width: 0px; position: absolute; opacity: 0; height: 0px; font-size: 14px;">

Thanks!

I added another plugin to track registrations, and turns out it does a great job at keeping these sploggers outa there!

Stop Spammer Registrations Plugin
https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/stop-spammer-registrations-plugin/

Seems to be doing what I need! Awesome. Also keeps a history log of IPs, scripts, usernames, etc .. great!

Hey Chad, been using your plugin for a long time, thanks! Is there a way to know where a registration is coming from? I wonder what logs I might look at to find that out. I have tons of sploggers signing up constantly, and so far have been unable to stop them. Using wp-members with recaptcha, also using wangguard recently but that isn’t doing anything to help .. splog could be coming from awpcp classifieds plugin .. not sure what other plugins might have registration requirement .. if I could figure out where they’re coming from, of course this would be easier to solve! thanks

Adding this to my theme’s CSS style sheet did the trick:

/* weptile nivo slider display on hover */
.nivo-caption { opacity: 0 !important; }
#widget-weptile-image-slider-widget-6-weptile-image-slider-widget-nivo-slider:hover .nivo-caption { opacity: 0.8 !important; }
.nivo-caption { -webkit-transition:all .3s ease;
-moz-transition:all .3s ease;
-o-transition:all .3s ease;
transition:all .3s ease; }

Note that “#widget-weptile-image-slider-widget-6-weptile-image-slider-widget-nivo-slider” is the parent element of the captions.

Thanks!

Configuring the SMTP plugin worked for me, as suggested by jenyus …

I am on DreamHost shared hosting ..

I use my own child theme of the Twenty Ten theme ..

I set SMTP host to be ‘mail.mydomain.com’ rather than ‘localhost’ .. this is a typical DreamHost setting ..

I supplied the username (“Use the whole thing!” right DreamHost :)) and password for my sending address .. ‘[email protected]’

And now it works! Thank you all. Good luck to the rest of you.

Wooohooo!!!!!! Great answer!

Except I must have to set some of the settings, I get an error now when trying to submit the form:

“Failed to send your message. Please try later or contact the administrator by another method.” – CF7

When in the plugin settings, I can do a test send; it says:

An error was encountered while trying to send the test e-mail.

SMTP Error: The following recipients failed: [email protected]

SMTP server error: 5.7.1 : Recipient address rejected: Access denied

Maybe SMTP settings have to not be ‘localhost’ but instead something DH .. looking … (your blog post says all i had to do was enable .. I think maybe settings need adjustment?) .. looking …

Thank you very much for the answer … DH love

A few more details .. I have a plugin that tells me whether or not emails are sent .. it says they are. I try changing email addresses in CF7 .. no lucks. Fast Secure works, Jetpack works .. sometimes I wonder, did another Jetpack upgrade knock out my CF7?? I disable Jetpack. Still no CF7 luckys in the box. I remember once talking with DH support about it and they referred back to plugin or WP. Now I am wondering, could it be a core WP update that got me? Jquery versions not jivin or some sort … trying to remember what else that killed of mine .. oh yeah an image slider. Was it me that put two jquery’s in there, or did WP add that? Using child themes on twentyten, did I update twentyten? in 2012? Na hhh.. could be WP core though? Injecting a little jquery into my heads?? Not even sure if CF7 uses jquery ////

ALSO I should note, that unlike the original poster, my forms do give the GREEN checkmark that implies success, ‘Thanks for your submission.” etc. So that’s good .. just not getting to the inboxes, somehow.

I have the same problem on a handful of sites. First it was one, now another, now I am checking all of them and a bit frightened that I will have a lot of work to do recreating forms! (lottsa sitessss ya)

I use CF7 to Database Extension plugin and all submissions are there (thank goodness!) but nothing coming to inboxes. Very very frightening Galileo. Have tried all sorts of troubleshooting. This is on DreamHost. I have other site on VPS.net and the forms are working, it seems. Very good, I am one step closer to understanding this perplexing issue.

Also I think it’s noteworthy to quote this person from this other post:

I’m having the same issue with any email address hosted by google. i,e, gmail.
The mail doesn’t even make it to my inbox / spam / junk folder. Seams to get highjacked by the server at some point.

Private ISP email address work fine – comes through to the inbox no problems.

I don’t have a Private ISP email address to test this out on right now, but that’s interesting. VPS.net does things differently than DreamHost.

Maybe there is something to do with DreamHost’s and other general shared hosting providers’ mail servers that don’t digest well CF7’s headers or something like that.

My hope is for Takayuki Miyoshi to have insight as to why this is happening, or somebody more knowledgeable than me on reading email logs etc. Thing is, the plugin is sending the emails … and I’m pretty sure the plugin uses WP’s built-in email engine, whatever that is .. some simple PHP thing, I think … so … what is the problem???? this is what confounds me .. and keeps me awake right now.

My issue is apparently caused by my host ..

It looks like mail was being delayed as there was an issue with the outbound relay server…. Unfortunately, these delays are being caused by spam runs that are causing your shared server to be temporarily blocked by our relay servers which send all web based mail. The block is temporarily while the spam run is found and removed. The remaining email is queued and processed immediately after the block is removed.

So, at least I am glad that I don’t have to troubleshoot WP or this plugin.

Same problem here. I also use Contact Form 7 to Database Extension plugin .. the submissions arrive in that database .. but only 1 of the past 5 emails has been sent.

Thanks for the reply, Joy.

I should have mentioned that these are custom post types. I wonder if that has anything to do with it.

And yes I am using Relevanssi search plugin.

I wonder if I have to add my custom post type to the search query. But that doesn’t seem like the solution since the posts are found after I open and ‘update’ them.

You know what, all I have to do is make use of the ‘reject URI’ feature … my custom posts have the string ‘/classifieds/’ …. uffda, I tried to make it complicated! ??

Add here strings (not a filename) that forces a page not to be cached. For example, if your URLs include year and you dont want to cache last year posts, it’s enough to specify the year, i.e. ’/2004/’. WP-Cache will search if that string is part of the URI and if so, it will not cache that page.

Okay Donncha it took me a while to figure your plugin out but I’ve finally got it working and have used it extensively enough to now be able to give it 5 STARS! Very good, and thank you very much –Joe

Thanks Chad and shamburg, worked for me! I love it when issues are found and fixed so quickly.
