Thanks Rene. I downloaded the cf7 again and it installed easily through my dashboard.

Hello,

I have 3 forms on my website using ContactForm7. As there is no unique thank you page for these forms, I have followed the instructions and have set up 'events" instead to track if the submit button is hit or not.

Issue: under behaviour>events, I can see they are set up and tracking correctly.
under Conversions>overview they are not tracking??

It's only when I see these goals tracked via the Conversions>overview or funnel visualisation, that I will get the value out of tracking these goals.

Can someone assist me? Or am I overlooking something really obvious?

The problem:
After submitting, the screen jumps to different points of the form inconsistently.

Let's say, the name field is blank. When I submit, the screen jumps to the email field. The user isn't been taken to relevant error and will either overlook it (and get caught in a loop) or assume the website is broken.

What can be done? I've put much time into making the form responsive however this is one problem I can't seem to fix.

What I have:
I'm using Contact Form 7 responsively. Error messages (wpcf7-response-output) are positioned above the form,

What I need:
When I click submit and validation errors occur, I need the screen to jump to the relevant error or preferably. the general error message produced by wpcf7-response-output.

Hello,

I have a contact form that is sending through to my inbox, however none of the data from the form comes through. For example, I have this textarea:

[textarea* sw-message placeholder "*Message..."]

And in the message body under Mail I have:

[sw-message]

To me, this looks correct and is following the documentation. However in the email message, I see [sw-message], not the message that was sent through the form.

Plugin and WP are both up to date, and this is happening with multiple forms that used to work. One for example was working back in May.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Looking back, I found this thread: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/contact-email-not-generating-entered-content-from-form-on-site?replies=15

Someone else found they got it workeing when they deleted and reinstalled the plugin. I have found this to be the case for myself as well. Glad that's all that needed to be done but quite odd. If you have FTP, you won't have to re-do your forms if you just rename the old CF7 folder and upload the new one, test to make sure your form works, and then delete the old renamed folder.

I've managed a workaround:

$('.wpcf7-submit').click(function() {
	$('html, body').animate({
		scrollTop: $(".wpcf7").offset().top
	}, 2000);
});

The root of the problem appears to be the positioning of the [response] shortcode.

Good find. Thanks for the solution. Very useful:-)

Thanks for the feedback and solution:-)

Maybe a dumb question from my side, but did you create an event AND the specific separate goal?
http://blog.adstage.io/2013/11/26/tracking-conversions-with-google-analytics/

Otherwise you will not get any conversion. A conversion is at least one event and one goal afaik.

not afterwards when you did not set up any mail or debug logging. But you can use such this plugin for future logging: https://wordpress.org/plugins/email-log/

Hi Jacob, i posted a solution for geting value of different checkboxes here:
http://wordpress.org/support/topic/on_sent_ok-addition-setting-using-select-option?replies=4

hard to say without any detailed error description.
Did you get any error message? If not, the problem is probably a not well configured php sendmail() so try an additional plugin which gives you the option to connect to your smtp host: https://wordpress.org/plugins/amazon-ses-and-dkim-mailer/

Though the plugin successfully sends millions of emails every day, there are a host of issues that can stop or delay emails on both the sending and receiving ends. It depends entirely on your local Server & WordPress configuration. You will need to investigate this issue for your particular local configuration.

See Contact Form 7 Email Issues. Most people that work through this information appear to be able to resolve their email sending & receiving issues.

Datepicker should automatically open on click, but may depend on browser being used.

Contact Form 7 has some Datepicker support via the new HTML5 date input type (see http://contactform7.com/date-field/) but this is currently only supported on some browsers - see http://www.wufoo.com/html5/types/4-date.html

well, I think I did. I set up the event goal, via admin>goals>createnew
and ticked the box for event tracking instead of a URL goal.

When I am under "events" I can see the events are triggered, but they don't match what I see under "goals".

Did I miss a step??

On the mobile version of the text field does not work correctly in fact, the keyboard appears but disappears immediately and the user can not write. I use samsung android with Android browser and Google Chrome. Is there a solution? sorry for my English

Hey Rene,

First of all thank you very much for your help. I'm going to take your advice and try it out. In my form I use Select option (pull down menu) I was wondering if the "type" can be converted into "select" instead of "checked" Sorry to say I'm not so good at this that is the reasonI'm struggling.

Thanks
Jacob

I put a "placeholder" in "input", it normally appear, but when I want to send the mail with just the placeholder in required field: the program don't send a error, it considers that the field is not empty.
Is it possible to have a empty field with a placeholder ?

my line code:

<div class="form-group col-sm-6">
[text* email id:email class:form-control placeholder "E-mail"]</div>

https://wordpress.org/plugins/contact-form-7/

Ok, Maybe my answer is silly, but would that be possible to have an option to avoid this screen-reader output to be generated, or at least have whether display it or the inline errors?

Also, it would be nice having an error message text message to be attached to each field?

I've done something like this in the past - http://code.web-ma.com/javascript-validator/ - but at that time I wasn't using wordpress as a CMS.
Perhaps a nice feature to integrate?
