Title: Inline CSS code issue 5.7 Last modified: December 13, 2022 --- # Inline CSS code issue 5.7 * [engrmhk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/engrmhk/) * (@engrmhk) * [3 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/inline-css-code-issue-5-7/) * Hi Team, * I have been using CF7 for almost a decade, but I saw a weird issue after the current upgrade, all the CSS design got scattered and even the bootstrap classes are not working anymore with the form. The row properties are invalid and the row items are showing vertically. * Can you please fix this? I already updated this on my 3 websites and don’t want to revert it back. * Thank you. * [Mudassir Hassan Khan](https://www.mudassir.co/) Viewing 14 replies - 1 through 14 (of 14 total) * [Vanoisbe](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lepapefrancois/) * (@lepapefrancois) * [3 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/inline-css-code-issue-5-7/#post-16283987) * This occurs because CF7 now adds

tag on every line return. * You can disable this behaviour : - open your `wp-config.php` file in the WordPress root installation directory. - add a line with `define('WPCF7_AUTOP', false );` in the beginning of the file. * WPCF7_AUTOP is an official constant of CF7, you can learn more here : [https://contactform7.com/controlling-behavior-by-setting-constants/](https://contactform7.com/controlling-behavior-by-setting-constants/) * [kimcoetzee](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kimcoetzee/) * (@kimcoetzee) * [3 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/inline-css-code-issue-5-7/#post-16284222) * Hi Vanoisbe I had the same problem as Mudassir but adding that line of code to the wp-config.php file did nothing. * The only place it works is if you change the code in wp-contact-form-7.php from true to false. (Which is a temporary solution at best) * Thread Starter [engrmhk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/engrmhk/) * (@engrmhk) * [3 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/inline-css-code-issue-5-7/#post-16284447) * Hi [@lepapefrancois](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lepapefrancois/), * This option worked for me.

tags also include under the mail code. * As “define(‘WPCF7_AUTOP’, false );” successfully resolved the problem of form frontend but how we can remove

tags from mail? * please help if anyone resolved this issue. * This problem comes in 5.7 version, the older version 5.6.4 was just perfect. * [Arafat Jamil](https://wordpress.org/support/users/arafatjamil01/) * (@arafatjamil01) * [3 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/inline-css-code-issue-5-7/#post-16284554) * Well, I think adding a

tag for every new line is not a good idea, because a lot of my themes have cf7 integrated, and the design breaks as soon as I change even a line of code. * Asking every user to add define(‘WPCF7_AUTOP’, false ); in wp-config is pretty hard for people with no code experience. * Please get back to the previous version. - This reply was modified 3 years, 5 months ago by [Arafat Jamil](https://wordpress.org/support/users/arafatjamil01/). * [shozo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shozoon/) * (@shozoon) * [3 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/inline-css-code-issue-5-7/#post-16284640) * Hi, Try putting the below code on functions.php. * add_filter(‘wpcf7_autop_or_not’, ‘wpcf7_autop_return_false’); function wpcf7_autop_return_false(){ return false; } * [Vanoisbe](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lepapefrancois/) * (@lepapefrancois) * [3 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/inline-css-code-issue-5-7/#post-16284726) * [@arafatjamil01](https://wordpress.org/support/users/arafatjamil01/) * > Asking every user to add define(‘WPCF7_AUTOP’, false ); in wp-config is pretty > hard for people with no code experience. * Totally agree! I spent half a day, changing 50+ website wp-config.php yesterday… At least, it will be set for the next update. I don’t know why there is not already a new upgrade of the plugin… * [Webviz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/babuagiorgi/) * (@babuagiorgi) * [3 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/inline-css-code-issue-5-7/#post-16284778) * This fixes the contact form but breaks the page. “open your wp-config.php file in the WordPress root installation directory. add a line with define(‘WPCF7_AUTOP’, false ); in the beginning of the file.” * Thread Starter [engrmhk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/engrmhk/) * (@engrmhk) * [3 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/inline-css-code-issue-5-7/#post-16285331) * Hi [@arafatjamil01](https://wordpress.org/support/users/arafatjamil01/), Agree with you. Asking everyone to do so is not an easy job and the as most people are not pro, so they face a lot of issues while fixing it. * [brownm52](https://wordpress.org/support/users/brownm52/) * (@brownm52) * [3 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/inline-css-code-issue-5-7/#post-16285728) * Having the same issues, why has this default behaviour changed? * Can this be regressed please to avoid the need to roll-back/update many sites. * Thx * [Daniel Chase](https://wordpress.org/support/users/riseofweb/) * (@riseofweb) * [3 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/inline-css-code-issue-5-7/#post-16287018) * [@shozoon](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shozoon/) – Thanks, this worked for me. Here is an even lighter weight code to add to functions.php. * `add_filter('wpcf7_autop_or_not', '__return_false');` * [shozo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shozoon/) * (@shozoon) * [3 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/inline-css-code-issue-5-7/#post-16287088) * [@riseofweb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/riseofweb/) – Ah, okay.

Not only will it take a lot of time to make the change on many sites but wouldn’t it get overwritten by a WordPress update? The better solution would be to create a toggle control for autop as an option in the settings of the plugin, would it?
