I’m having the same problem with the Pro version of the plugin, although without making any change to the code.

Like MarekR said, clicking the footer link to switch to desktop site seems to be working only after a second click or refresh.

Dan, please can you help us out here!

Thanks,

Philip

I was having the same problem – images upload fine but then cannot be displayed. My excellent hosting company found the solution. Maybe the problem is the same for you:

Try calling the ms-files.php script directly:
Enter something like this in your browser address bar. You won’t have the subdomain bit, but a different path instead. You may need to experiment. If you get ‘file not found’ it means you have the wrong path.
https://subdomain.mysite.com/wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=2012/02/test.jpg

If you can see the image, then you know the problem is with the rewrite; if you can’t then it suggests your host is blocking the method that ms-files.php uses to display the images.

Thank you once again. This code worked perfectly.

When using HTML code in the Form textarea, is there any way to specify CF7 properties for that particular field. For example, to make a field mandatory?

Thank you for your response. I have tried the second approach that you outlined. This is great functionality! Contact Form 7 really is a superb plugin.

It works well for checkboxes which are ‘on’ (checked) but it doesn’t seem to recognise checkbox fields which haven’t been checked. So my output looks something like:

Entered in the form:
Box1 [ ]
Box2 [x]
Box3 [x]

Received by email
Box1: [checkbox-1]
Box2: on
Box3: on

I get similar results when checking different combinations of box1,2,3.

Am I missing something or is this due to the way the plugin works?

Thanks,

Philip

Immortality would definitely be a good solution.

But this isn’t really about your personal wellbeing – even really big companies can and do go bust.

Back in the days when I worked for a big IT company, developing systems for banks, I believe they paid to have a third party hold copies of all the proprietary code in a vault. I recall the word ‘escrow’ being used. You might try googling that.

This arrangement meant that their future didn’t depend on ours. In the same way, your clients need to decide whether they are willing to pay for an arrangement which allows their web sites to outlive your business.

Yes, this is really easy to achieve with the latest version of Contact Form 7. You use the ‘watermark’ functionality. Here’s an example of how you use it:

[text* your-name watermark "Your Name"]

(Thanks to Dan at New Icon for showing me this originally)

Hi georgiePorg,

If you need help with the approach that I’ve used, you’re welcome to get in touch. There’s quite a bit of reading in my article, so let me know how you get on.

I’ve used this on two commercial sites: One in English and German, the other in English and Welsh.

cheers,

Philip

I’ve written a long piece on this (not quite a step-by-step tutorial, but almost). It’s a bit too long to paste here so check out my blog entry:

Let me know how you get on.

Thanks esmi. But the problem I’ve experienced is a different one:

Here is how it came about:

1. A chunk of formatted text was copied from a web site
2. The formatted text was pasted into the visual editor
3. It looked fine. Bullet points and other formatting were preserved
4. We noticed that the page on the live site was not validating and observed it was due to missing ul and /ul declarations
5. In the visual editor the text was highlighted
6. The ‘unordered list’ button was clicked
7. The page was updated/saved
8. When the editor page refreshed the content had all been lost.

I observed this consistently on a couple of different sites with different versions of WordPress. This was using the Chrome browser.

You can also edit the CSS to position the message somewhere else. If you use inspect the page using Firebug (in Firefox) you can see there are good, clear class names to assist this.

I have noticed that the recent posts widget has changed the ID of the containing DIV.

Before the DIV had the ID ‘recent-posts’ but now it is ‘recent-posts-2’.

If you used this ID for formatting then a quick change to the CSS should solve the problem.

I suspect you are having problems because of the extra speech marks. Change the inner ” to ‘ like this:

on_sent_ok: “window.location=’https://www.domain.com/nextpage’;”

Thanks.

Thanks for that link. I had already found that page but am not confident which file to download:

Please excuse my ignorance of terminology: Is the 2.7.1 RC1 installer the final release of 2.7.1?
