 * In the includes/js/scripts.js there are two syntax errors because of missing 
   semicolons. Here is the section of code with the fix indicated. Because of the
   new lines, the loose interpretation of browsers works, but when you minify the
   code it breaks. jsl (js lint) also finds the errors.
 *     ```
       wpcf7.notValidTip = function( target, message ) {
       	var $target = $( target );
       	$( '.wpcf7-not-valid-tip', $target ).remove();
       	$( '<span role="alert" class="wpcf7-not-valid-tip"></span>' )
       		.text( message ).appendTo( $target );
   
       	if ( $target.is( '.use-floating-validation-tip *' ) ) {
       		var fadeOut = function( target ) {
       			$( target ).not( ':hidden' ).animate( {
       				opacity: 0
       			}, 'fast', function() {
       				$( this ).css( { 'z-index': -100 } );
       			} );
       		}; // **added missing semicolon here**
   
       		$target.on( 'mouseover', '.wpcf7-not-valid-tip', function() {
       			fadeOut( this );
       		} );
   
       		$target.on( 'focus', ':input', function() {
       			fadeOut( $( '.wpcf7-not-valid-tip', $target ) );
       		} );
       	}
       }; // **added missing semicolon here**
       ```
