 * Hi,
    I have a “date” field in my form so I need to use the jQuery UI fallback.
 * I pasted the following line of code in the functions.php file of my theme but
   apparently nothing has changed.
 * add_filter( ‘wpcf7_support_html5_fallback’, ‘__return_true’ );
 * I followed [these](http://contactform7.com/faq/does-contact-form-7-support-html5-input-types/)
   instructions
 * Anybody can help?
    Thank you

 * Yes of course.
    Here’s the page with the form.

 * Maybe it depends by the theme I’m using (Bridge by Qodeinteractive)?
 * Thanks!

 * Ok, I definitely think the problem it’s the theme I’m using.
 * I tried switching to Twenty Fifteen and it works perfectly.
 * It doesn’t work with Twenty Fourteen and Twenty Thirteen though.
 * Hope this can help…
 * Thank you again

 * I’ve found a solution.
 * It was a CSS issue.
    JQuery UI was loading but hiding behind other elements.
 * Fixed this with this line of CSS:
    .ui-datepicker { z-index:9999!important }
 * Thank you
