Title: Problem with “duplicate” module Last modified: August 23, 2025 --- # Problem with “duplicate” module * [angsalazio](https://wordpress.org/support/users/angsalazio/) * (@angsalazio) * [10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-duplicate-module/) * Hi, I found a problem with the latest release of Contact Form 7.If you duplicate a module, it doesn’t create a real copy. Instead, it uses the same ID and overwrites the original module. Does anyone else have the same issue?

First of all, I’m referring to the Contact Form 7 plugin, which I usually use to create contact forms on websites. * When I create a new contact form, I typically duplicate an existing one and customize the copy. However, after the latest plugin update, I’ve encountered a problem: when I duplicate an existing contact form, it appears that a copy is created, but the “id” remains unchanged. * Here’s an example: If I duplicate the contact form called [contact-form-7 id=” 6a45f40″ title=”Brace e relax in Casa ANGSA 15 OTT 23″], the plugin generates[ contact-form-7 id=”6a45f40″ title=”Brace e relax in Casa ANGSA 15 OTT 23_copy”]. * Although I can modify the title, the ID stays the same as the original. This means I’m actually overwriting the original contact form instead of creating a new one. * Plugin Author [Takayuki Miyoshi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/takayukister/) * (@takayukister) * [10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-duplicate-module/#post-18613407) * What other plugins and theme do you use on the site? * Thread Starter [angsalazio](https://wordpress.org/support/users/angsalazio/) * (@angsalazio) * [9 months, 4 weeks ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-duplicate-module/#post-18614693) * ```wp-block-code The theme is called NewsupVersione: 4.0.0.86 (Themeansar’s)These are all the plugins installed:Accept Donations with PayPal & Stripe Versione 1.5 | Di: Scott PatersonAddToAny Share Buttons             Versione 1.8.13 | Di: AddToAnyAdvanced Editor Tools   Versione 5.9.2 | Di: AutomatticBetter RSS Widget           Versione 2.8.1 | Di: grandslambert Classic Widgets Versione 0.3 | Di: WordPress ContributorsConditional Fields for Contact Form 7     Versione 2.6.3 | Di: Jules ColleContact Form 7 Versione 6.1.1 | Di: Takayuki MiyoshiCookieYes | GDPR Cookie Consent           Versione 3.3.3 | Di: CookieYesDownload Manager        Versione 3.3.19 | Di: W3 Eden, Inc. Easy Maintenance Mode              Versione 1.4.2 | Di: Ankit Agarwal,Priyanshu Mittal Newsletter         Versione 8.9.3 | Di: Stefano Lissa, The Newsletter TeamNewsletter - Addons Manager and Support         Versione 1.3.7 | Di: The Newsletter TeamNewsletter - Import/Export         Versione 1.5.9 | Di: The Newsletter TeamQ and A Focus Plus FAQ Versione 1.3.9.7 | Di: Lanexatek Creations Really Simple CAPTCHA Versione 2.4 | Di: Takayuki MiyoshireSmush.it Image Optimizer        Versione 1.0.4 | Di: reSmush.itSmart Custom 404 Error Page     Versione 11.4.8 | Di: NerdPressSuper RSS Reader            Versione 5.3 | Di: Aakash ChakravarthyTelegram Bot & Channel               Versione 4.0.1 | Di: Marco MilesiUltimate Product Catalog             Versione 5.3.5 | Di: Etoile Web DesignUpdraftPlus - Backup/Ripristino Versione 1.25.7 | Di: TeamUpdraft, DavidAndersonVertical News Scroller     Versione 1.25 | Di: I Thirteen Web SolutionVideo Gallery by Huzzaz               Versione 10.5 | Di: HuzzazWidget Responsive for Youtube Versione 1.6.2 | Di: StefanoAIWP Downgrade | Specific Core Version  Versione 1.2.6 | Di: ReisetigerWP Fastest Cache            Versione 1.3.9 | Di: Emre Vona ``` * Plugin Author [Takayuki Miyoshi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/takayukister/) * (@takayukister) * [9 months, 4 weeks ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-duplicate-module/#post-18615013) * Try switching to the default theme, deactivating all plugins excluding Contact Form 7, Classic Widgets and Really Simple CAPTCHA, and clearing all cache data. * [Why you are advised to deactivate plugins and switch to the default theme.](https://contactform7.com/2019/12/02/why-you-are-advised-to-deactivate-plugins-and-switch-to-the-default-theme/) Viewing 7 replies - 1 through 7 (of 7 total) The topic ‘Problem with “duplicate” module’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/contact-form-7/assets/icon.svg?rev=2339255) * [Contact Form 7](https://wordpress.org/plugins/contact-form-7/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/contact-form-7/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/contact-form-7/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/contact-form-7/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/contact-form-7/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/contact-form-7/reviews/) * 7 replies * 2 participants * Last reply from: [Takayuki Miyoshi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/takayukister/) * Last activity: [9 months, 4 weeks ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-duplicate-module/#post-18615013) * Status: not resolved
