 * When trying to send a message with the Contact Form 7 plugin, this error comes
   up:
 * `JSON Parse error: Unrecognized token '<'`
 * I disabled all other plugins and switched to different themes, emptied caches,
   deleted Contact Form 7 plugin files and re-installed again.. Did all of this 
   three times, 🙂 still nothing changed.
 * You can try for yourself at [http://www.xizi.nl/offerte](http://www.xizi.nl/offerte)
 * I’m using the Swatch theme 1.7.6 by Oxygenna.
 * Any ideas? Thanks!

 * Try switching to the default theme and deactivating all other plugins.

 * same prob here.
    the form sends the mail only if there is juste one word in the
   name field. Otherwise the turning arrow never stops an the div “ajax-error” says:`
   <div class="ajax-error">JSON Parse error: Unrecognized token '<'</div>`
