# Error on CF7 admin

 * I recently updated to latest version of CF7 and when I try to edit a form in 
   wordpress admin it shows and error:
 * `Deprecated: WPCF7_TagGenerator::add(): El uso de instancias del generador de
   etiquetas anterior a la versión 2 está obsoleto. Instancia (password) de la versión
   1 detectada. in /var/www/vhosts/ribesalat.com/httpdocs/wp-includes/functions.
   php on line 6085`
 * Also I can’t visualize the title field to modify. If I create a new form it works
   but once it’s created In cannot edit the title anymore.
 * I let you a screenshot of what I’m trying to explain: [https://duplotest.com/duplo/temp/cf7.jpg](https://duplotest.com/duplo/temp/cf7.jpg)
 * Thanks!

 * If you have [Contact Form 7 – Dynamic Text Field](https://wordpress.org/plugins/contact-form-7-dynamic-text-extension/)
   installed, please update to the latest version, released today, as it now uses
   version 2 of the form tag generator.

 * Hi [@takayukister](https://wordpress.org/support/users/takayukister/),
 * The site in question is [https://ribesalat.com/](https://ribesalat.com/) but 
   in the front end you can’t see anything. Is there any plan to resolve this in
   an imminent update?
 * Thanks!

 * Try switching to the default theme, deactivating all plugins excluding Contact
   Form 7 and Yoast SEO, and clearing all cache data.

 * The theme works fine but the 2 errors are cause by:
    - **Contact Form 7 Signature Addon**: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/digital-signature-for-contact-form-7/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/digital-signature-for-contact-form-7/)
    - **Redirección a Contact Form 7 Pro**: [https://es.wordpress.org/plugins/wpcf7-redirect/](https://es.wordpress.org/plugins/wpcf7-redirect/)
 * The second one we must use it to redirect to thank you pages after submiting 
   the form.
 * Do you have an idea about the solution?

 * I hope [@takayukister](https://wordpress.org/support/users/takayukister/) doesn’t
   mind me jumping in since this isn’t necessarily an error with Contact Form 7.
   CF7 made an update to the tag generator when releasing [version 6.0](https://contactform7.com/2024/11/03/contact-form-7-60/)
   so any CF7 addons that add custom form tags will see this deprecation notice 
   until they update it to be compatible again.
 * With the Contact Form 7 Signature Addon plugin, their current version still uses
   version 1 of the tag generator on [line 25 in this file](https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/digital-signature-for-contact-form-7/trunk/main/backend/digital-signature-backend-cf7.php#L21).
   Since it’s up to them to update, [please create a thread](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/digital-signature-for-contact-form-7/)
   there with this information 🙂
 * As for Redirection for Contact Form 7, it’s the same situation on [line 165 of this file](https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/wpcf7-redirect/tags/3.1.9/modules/cf7-shortcode-password-field.php#L158)(
   and is your specific error since it’s the form tag `password`) but it looks like
   a [thread has already been created](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/depricated-wpcf7_taggeneratoradd/)
   in their support forums so I’d recommend subscribing to it for notifications 
   on when it’ll be resolved.
 * If you need an _immediate_ solution, you can set `define('WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', 
   false);` in your `wp-config.php` file so that the error does not mess up your
   screen, however it does not solve the problem until those two plugins update 
   themselves.
 * Cheers!

 * Hi [@tessawatkinsllc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tessawatkinsllc/),
 * Thanks for the explanation. El error sólo se muestra en el administrador, así
   que prefiero dejar los errores visibles. Así si se soluciona puedo comprobar 
   que se ha solucionado. I will be attentive and if it is solved I will put it 
   in this thread to close the issue.
 * Thanks again!
