 * I have installed & successfully created several contact forms. Out of the blue,
   one of my contact 7 forms is suddenly giving me the yellow bordered error that
   says: Validation errors occurred. Please confirm the fields and submit it again.
 * the form is located: [http://www.team-sparkle.com/travelingsparkleskirts/2010/03/31/what-are-the-traveling-sparkle-skirts/](http://www.team-sparkle.com/travelingsparkleskirts/2010/03/31/what-are-the-traveling-sparkle-skirts/)
 * I’ve re-built the form several times. & Still the same problem continues to happen.
   Although my other forms have remained okay. any suggestions or help?

 * RE: Version 2.3
 * I need some help with this too, I had the form working but the sender kept showing“
   WordPress” so I changed the email field from [email* email] to [email* your-email]
   in the form and the Mail, and now I’m getting a yellow border box with a message
   that says:
 * Validation errors occurred.
 * The problem is the only field I changed was the email field, and I’ve read and
   re-read the FAQ so many times, and it appears correct. The email validation error
   is not showing up, just a generic error…

 * This is my first time using Contact Form 7. I was getting the validation error
   message every time. I changed the email* field to a text* field, and it worked
   instantly. For some reason, the email* field validation was rejecting valid email
   addresses. My form is located here: [http://christmasspirit.ca/submit/](http://christmasspirit.ca/submit/)
 * >  <p>Your Name (required)
   >  [text* your-name] </p>
   > <p>Your Email (required)
   >  [text* your-email] </p>
   > <p>Your Phone Number (required)
   >  [text* your-phone-number] </p>
   > <p>Please tell us as much as you can about the Nativity
