 * Something strange just started happening with my site. Very recently the placeholder
   in Contact form 7 has stopped working when using the autopopulate from google
   places api value is used. The form field is defaulting to ‘Enter a query’instead
   of ‘Enter Your Address’ as I have coded in the form. Any guidance is greatly 
   appreciated.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fplaceholder-function-not-working%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * I fixed this by creating a javascript to replace the default placeholder text.
   Not ideal, but it worked.
