I have rebuilt the contact form a couple of times now, it worked a couple of times, but I had to adjust the fields as I was testing the form and how the email message came through.
I removed the code you suggested and but [contact-form-7 id="3489" title="Contact Trip Guide Form"] is still showing yellow validation error.
Also I cannot delete file fields once browsed and selected could there be something wrong with the code in the fields i created?
