Rows & Column Styling Issues after Update

(@dominiccadle95)

Hello, ever since the new update most all my forms where I am using the following to create form columns, have changed to no longer display the columns correctly, here is the code I use:

<div class="row">
  <div class="col span_6">
[text* your-name placeholder "Your Name"]
</div>
  <div class="col span_6">
[text* your-surname placeholder "Your Surname"]
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
  <div class="col span_6">
[email* your-email placeholder "Your Email Address"]
</div>
  <div class="col span_6">
[tel* your-subject placeholder "Your Mobile Number"]
</div>
</div>

[textarea your-message placeholder "Your Message"]
[submit "Send Message"]
<script>
document.addEventListener( 'wpcf7mailsent', function( event ) {
    location = '/thank-you/';
}, false );
</script>

The problem is that the classic editor uses wpautop by default for the content, which seems to translate all line breaks since the update to a   in the frontend.

Same problem here, everything was working great and since the 5.7 update, my forms are broken.

Any solution ?

(Yes, I use classic editor too).

See here: https://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/topic/fixed-p-tag-added-with-latest-plugin-update/

After applying that, a re-save of the post with the contact form may be required.

define( ‘WPCF7_AUTOP’, false ); doesn’t work for me.

But add_filter(‘wpcf7_autop_or_not’, ‘__return_false’); works.

Thanks !

@kittmedia
The wpautop function is described as replacing “double line-breaks with paragraph elements”. The issue, here, is that even single line-breaks are replaced since version 5.7.

Even though it is described to only do that, it does more, which it shouldn’t.

So, maybe is better to wait next plugin update and hope this will be fixed…

Same here, this is a mess. Please guys, fix this asap with an update 😉

Also, if there’s an empty first value in a dropdown menu, it now is filled with “Please choose an option” – but that is not always wanted (in my case an empty value is required)

Thanks.

I fixed it by going back to the previous version.

Same here – we have 100’s of sites using contact form 7, now broken. Can you do an update please to fix this ASAP – or roll back to the previous version in the repository?

Respected CF7 Team,

When I update the version to 5.7, my form frontend completely destroy, even I used Cf7 with updates from 3 years. But this update impact my website a lot.

When I revert back everything fine again. As per my inspection I found this CF7 5.7 version not working good with PHP 8.1, works well with 7.4.

Moreover, same problem with email? if you have stylist email which is send when form is submit then you will find huge spaces under the email also. the tags also include under the mail code.

As “define(‘WPCF7_AUTOP’, false );” successfully resolved the problem of form frontend but how we can remove tags from mail?

please help if anyone resolved this issue.
