Hi, how are you ?
it is a very great plugin I’ve been using since early days.
I really like the simple way to handle forms.
Nevertheless, I still don’t understand why there’s not an easy way to hide the form after submit.sent BUT leaving the output message visible !

it is not clear to me that this, is still not working !
hours and hours and hours trying do resolve this since years and even with chat GPT I do loose my mind in this .

Please move the wpcf7-response-output out of the form !
this would resolve everything in this need.
so easy…

this makes the UxUi for visitors not good !
and a headhache for a lot of people.
and I precise I am not a beginner, 15+ years with wordpress.
still can’t figure out why, but I keep using the plugin.

thank you for reading and understanding.
still lot of gratitude.

hope to read from you

I’m not the author of this plugin, but it can easily be done with some javascript:
```
<script>
  document.addEventListener( 'wpcf7mailsent', function( event ) {
    document.querySelectorAll("form.wpcf7-form > :not(.wpcf7-response-output)").forEach(el => {
      el.style.display = 'none';
    });
  }, false );
</script>
```

Hi, thank you, sorry, but I tried this several times
can’t make it work into child theme functions.php
https://www.benjaminbossu.com/contact-benjamin/
```
add_action('wp_footer', 'custom_wpcf7_hide_form');
function custom_wpcf7_hide_form() {
    ?>
    <script type="text/javascript">
     

          document.addEventListener( 'wpcf7mailsent', function( event ) {
            document.querySelectorAll("form.wpcf7-form > :not(.wpcf7-response-output)").forEach(el => {
              el.style.display = 'none';
            });
          }, false );

        </script>
    <?php
    }
```
thank you

You have another problem you need to fix first. Your page is reloading when you submit the form. See: https://contactform7.com/why-isnt-my-ajax-contact-form-working-correctly/

True !
mostly I do delete the css from loading and add the lines to my childtheme/style.css
and I do try to load the js only when needed.
I’ll check with default theme and see.
I’ll let you know,
thank you
