After well more than 2 hours of reading multiple pages of FAQ and best practices from Contact Form 7, I seem to have gotten it fixed for ONE of my sites.

If a plug-in author wants to make changes to their product, fine, and I accept that English might not be their first language, but if your plug-in is a featured component of Jetpack, then spend the time and money to hire a GOOD, English speaking technical writer to handle your help sheets. This was simply ridiculous.

And another tip…”this field contains a syntax error” is an extremely unhelpful warning message.

I must agree with Mr. Kaufer, and I’ll go further. You’ve made this plug-in almost unusable and your laughable excuse for an FAQ and Best Practices guide offer not help at all.

Even following your instructions I get syntax errors for the ‘From” field when the only thing I’ve got in that field is [your-email]. How, exactly, could that be an error when that’s the most basic function of the field?

I’m now looking for an alternative to Contact Form 7. Thanks for nothing.

Yes it is a managed installation, through GoDaddy. Your explanation makes sense, thanks for taking the time.

It’s more of a minor annoyance, as everything still works properly. And I do like receiving the alerts, just in case.

This didn’t work for me…any other ideas?

Yes, I can drag to/from any of the columns, but nothing changed in my screen size or page width, the third column just showed up yesterday. And like I said, it causes my dashboard widgets to display incorrectly.

Is this plugin no longer supported?

Nevermind, figured it out. The Star Box plugin was causing it. Not sure what it’s conflicting with, but I really like that plugin. This sucks.

In a child theme stylesheet.

As I said above, I’ve tried both of those options, neither worked.

But I have found a workaround, even though it isn’t ideal.

Thanks for the advice, but even that didn’t work.

Ok…just figured out that jetpack is the problem…which sucks.

So…why did I not get a single response to this problem?

Ok…did I not provide enough detail about the problem? Or does no one have a clue how to fix this?

Has no one ever seen this before?

Nevermind…fixed it. I was panicing, but a cooler head prevailed!
