 * hey guys
 * there is something myself and my hosting provider can’t seem to be able to fix.
 * Basically, my users complain about not being able to send messages via the form(
   randomly!) as the system seems to hang forever.
 * The hosting told me there is smth related to a funcion of your plugin:
 * [Wed May 17 18:41:09 2017] [warn] [client 79.7.60.70] mod_fcgid: stderr: PHP 
   Fatal error: Call to a member function get_status() on null in /var/www/vhosts/
   timelapseitalia.com/httpdocs/wp-content/plugins/contact-form-7/includes/contact-
   form.php on line 656, referer: [http://timelapseitalia.com/contattaci/invia-video-a-tli/](http://timelapseitalia.com/contattaci/invia-video-a-tli/)
 * Do you know how this can be fixed?
 * thanks a lot
    Marco

 * First, you are using [Contact Form 7 version 4.8-dev that is not officially published yet](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/version-4-8-dev-update/).
   Rollback it to the current stable release (4.7).

 * Try switching to the default theme and deactivating all other plugins.

 * I have same problem, checked on default theme and without plugins, it wasn’t 
   help.
 * Few moments:
 * 1. Site domain is Cyrillic (Domain of the site transforms in special characters,
   example: xn--h1aaboag0bf.xn--p1ai).
    2. Not work just in Mozilla Firefox.
