 * Hello. The form we have on our registration page ([http://www.solelpreschool.org/infant-registration/](http://www.solelpreschool.org/infant-registration/))
   will not validate. I have stripped it down to just a date picker, down to just
   a name entry, and down to just the telephone, all of which have given me errors.
   The date picker generates one saying the format of the date is incorrect – it’s
   the default picker?!?!
 * I deleted everything from this form and copied all of the info from a form that
   is tested and working… again “validation error” is what I get.
 * Please help!

 * I get the error “Failed to send your message. Please try later or contact the
   administrator by another method.” when using the form as is.

 * This is most likely due to a JavaScript conflict with either your current WordPress
   theme or one of the other plugins you are using – see [Contact Form 7 Email Issues](http://contactform7.com/setting-up-mail/#Contact_Form_7_Email_Issues)–
   there is a link there that covers **JavaScript Conflicts**.
 * Also see [Plugin Conflicts](http://www.wpexplorer.com/plugin-conflicts/) for 
   general guidance.

 * If it was a conflict with another plugin – wouldnt it cause ALL of the forms 
   to fail? The “Take a Tour” form on the home page ([http://www.solelpreschool.org](http://www.solelpreschool.org)),
   which is built with ContactForm 7, works flawlessly. As I mentioned previously,
   I copied the code from that one into this new one & it still failed. I made sure
   all the settings were the same, including who the email is delivered to, but 
   it still gave the error.

 * Scripts are sometimes made to load only on certain pages, usually on as-needed
   bases. It is therefore not surprising to have the same form behave differently
   on different pages on the same website.
 * **Here is a step by step approach to solving JavaScript conflict**
 * 1. Switch temporarily to a WordPress default theme (Twenty Eleven etc.) and see
   if the problem goes away.
 * If it does, you’ve most likely got a JavaScript conflict with your current WordPress
   theme.
 * If switching to default theme doesn’t help it could be one of the plugins you
   are using that is causing the problem.
 * 2. Disable all plugins other than Contact Form 7
 * If doing that solves the problem, you can then add back each item – one by one,
   until you find the real cause of the problem.
 * _**You will need to disable, temporarily, ALL JavaScript, other than that from
   CF7**, including anything in your theme (switch temporarily to a default theme),
   to get to the source of the problem._

 * failed.
 * I’m starting over.. going to add one field at a time and test.
