 * I have a form on a site I’m developing that generates a 404 error on successful
   send. I get the email without any problems, but the user will most likely think
   they’ve just wasted their time.
 * I thought it was because the page was password protected, so I took that protection
   off. I still get the 404.
 * Then I specified a custom thank you page & I built the page & double-checked 
   the URL was just right. I still get a 404.
 * So, what gives? I’ve used it before on other sites without problem. SHould I 
   go back to an earlier version?

 * Never mind, I managed to fix it.
 * Turns out that my footer file didn’t have the wp_footer(); function in it. A 
   soon as I fixed that the form fixed itself.

 * i sorted this by adding the below function in footer.php file
 * wp_footer();
 * Note wp_footer(); function should be in php tag like:
 * <?php wp_footer();?>
