Did you follow the instructions in the link you gave? Those are INCORRECT – do not follow them or it will not work.

To add an ID, use id:my_id
To add a class, use class:my_class

Have you tried those?

Well, I don’t have any particular direction for you beyond the reality that you’re probably stuck with doing backend coding (php or javascript) to change the actual variable prior to submission. What you’re doing in CSS is just aesthetics of the text and (as you’ve found) is not actually modifying the text entry. It’s the same thing with how the color, font type, etc. aren’t stored either.

Unless you’re really familiar with those languages, I’d just nix the idea (and CSS caps) so you don’t “break” your site or the plugin functionality. Then, just make a (big) “NOTE:” that tells users to only use caps. Some won’t follow it but then it’s on them if they don’t get what they wanted out of the form. =)

Anyway, sorry I don’t have a magic/quick/easy solution for you. Perhaps someone else will. But, at the least, hopefully it’s helps refine your direction some.

You’re welcome!

If your problem is resolved, don’t forget to mark it as such in the sidebar. Thank you! =)

@dkpalash, please start your own support thread and include more details of the problems you’re having / what assistance you’re looking for.

Thanks!

I’d love to try to offer some creative help. However, further clarification would be useful before I get too far.

What’s the goal of using the same form for multiple submissions but having a different recipient on the second submission?

Once I hear back, I’ll see what might be a possibility for you with tag creativity. =)

Any chance that spammers just have your email address used in the form? CF7 just uses the PHP mail function so it’s a fair possibility that your issue is outside CF7, since it’s not grabbing form data. I’ve personally not had spam bypass CF7.

Do you have any sort of security plugin (e.g. Wordfence) to scan your site for vulnerabilities?

You have to code in HTML inside your form instead of using the CF7 tags. If you’re not sure what you want the code to look like, add your text field and then inspect the element. What you’ll find is that this tag:
[text pword123 20/ id:my_ID class:my_Class]
becomes this HTML coding (or something very simalar):
`<input type=”password” name=”pword123″ value=”” size=”20″ class=”wpcf7-form-control wpcf7-text my_Class” id=”my_ID” aria-invalid=”false”>’

So, if you use that “longhand”/html in your contact form, the characters will turn to dots. At least, they do for me.

Then, you’ll use [pword123] in your form, or whatnot, to gather what they input. Plus, if you use CFDB, it will store there (unless you exempt that form).

Keep in mind, though, that when you do it this way, the user’s browser and related browser add-ons will read the field as a password and may try to enter their site password in the field. I don’t think you want it to look like you’re mining for their passwords, so just be mindful how you use it.

Nonetheless, there’s an option for what you were requesting. =)

Try using the menu function:

In your form, it would look something like:
What product would you like? [select* menu-172 "Product 1|s-01" "Product 2|s-02" "Product X|s-0X"]

Then, in your email form, do something like:
Download your product <a href="https://www.example.com/td/[menu-172].pdf">here</a>.

If you need to allow them to download/request more than one at a time, it would need to format a little differently. However, the above will get you the clickable links based upon the customer’s selection.

Hope this helps!

Hi,

I’d love to help, although I may be misunderstanding what’s happening…

Nonetheless, contrary to that link… you only put id:my_id_here and class:my_class_here instead of using html_id="my_id_here" and html_class="my_class_here". I’m not sure when the switch happened but that’s what gets it to work for me (and how CF7 builds them in the forms with the “wizard” on the side).

Hope this gets you what you need!

Can you post the code you’re using?

Also, try adding BCC:[email protected] to the additional headers and leave [your-recipient] in the ‘to’ field. Then you can see what it’s rendering (incorrectly?) in the selectable-pipe-field tag and post what happens here.

Hopefully that will help us figure out your issue since you’re sending other form emails okay. =)

You have an !Important tag in your themes CSS (found here) that appears to be causing the issue. It’s specifying the width for several CF7 items:

/* Contact Form 7
----------------------------------------------- */

.wpcf7-form-control {
	padding: 10px;
	border: 1px solid #f0f0f0;
	width: 50% !important;
	font-size: 15px;
}

.wpcf7-textarea {
	width: 70% !important;
}

.wpcf7-submit {
	width: auto !important;
}

You can either modify these or get rid of them. Hope this helps! =)

As an added boost to what Takayuki has offered, I use a custom permalink structure but my CF7 forms work just fine. So, it’s not the permalink structure itself but something else that is causing the break.

Hope you get it sorted out soon!

I’m sorry – that’s frustrating! Hopefully this will help, though:

You can specify the “from”/sender in the contact form itself. Just go to the contact form you are working on and look for the “from” field in the “Mail” or “Mail (2)” section.

If you really want, you can use the WP-Mail-SMTP plugin to choose SMTP over PHP’s mail() function. I have sites that work fine both ways and in each I can specify the “sender” I want.

It’s possible, as it seems you are thinking, that your mail is not receiving a “PASS” on the SFP rating because of a mismatched domain (specified sender vs. actual sender), since you’re not hosted on a gmail server. BUT, it could also be that your domain’s server IP is on some blacklists. I was on the Spamhaus XBL for one of my sites because of a compromised site on its shared host server. I had to request a cleanup that took my host over 2 weeks to take care of (a whole ‘nother issue though)… In the meantime, we couldn’t have form emails sent to yahoo, etc…. So, if adjusting the “from” field doesn’t solve your issue, then you should check the hosting email account (I imagine you have a default one included). If you have a rejected email there, it should help you figure out if you’re on a block list.

Again, hope this helps some and you get back up and running soon!

So, I was able to adjust the php.ini , wp-config.php , and php upload temp folder and now I can upload up to 10MB without issues on the install that previously had errors over 1MB. After that, I’m having it just spin (no error). I’ll keep chipping away and see what I can do, since it seems like I’m closer to experiencing your error.

Out of curiosity, are you using Microsoft IIS for your site, @kristinanewyork? That’s the host I’m having issues with…

Although, it might be different since you can’t send at all and mine just seem to “top out” somewhere between 1-2MB…
