Title: Sample Form Not Working Last modified: December 1, 2020 --- # Sample Form Not Working * Resolved [Sumukha](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sumukha/) * (@sumukha) * [5 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sample-form-not-working/) * I tried to follow the tutorial and used the sample code. Trouble is, it’s not working as in the demo. Now I am wondering if that sample code is just a dummy, not the code of the working sample. * Am I missing something? * Thanks! * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fsample-form-not-working%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 7 replies - 1 through 7 (of 7 total) * Plugin Author [Jules Colle](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jules-colle/) * (@jules-colle) * [5 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sample-form-not-working/#post-13728851) * No, it should just work.

CF7 also gives this error: “ Multiple form controls are in a single label element.” [https://contactform7.com/configuration-errors/multiple-controls-in-label/](https://contactform7.com/configuration-errors/multiple-controls-in-label/) * I’m using a child theme of oceanwp on php 7.4.

My mistake was naming a form-tag “children”. I guess it’s some sort of reserved word in CF7. * Thanks * Thread Starter [Sumukha](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sumukha/) * (@sumukha) * [5 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sample-form-not-working/#post-13749560) * Mine didn’t throw an error.

Any thoughts on this? * > Mattia (@albazeus) > 2 months ago My mistake was naming a form-tag “children”. > I guess it’s some sort of reserved word in CF7. * I have just had to go and fix several websites where all of the conditional field were never appearing. The solution was to change the ‘children’ field name to something else, and update the conditions to match. * Having a field called ‘children’ prevents all of the conditional field from working, but there are no errors in the console! * It is incredibly common to have a ‘children’ field on accommodation / holiday enquiry forms, and then to conditionally have children’s age(s) fields appear if there are any children. * I ran a little test on one of my sites, reverting updates with GIT, and my websites broke when I updated them from cf7-conditional-fields 1.9.9 to 1.9.11 back in Sept, so either 1.9.10 or 1.9.11 introduced the error. * Before I changed the field name, I had tried disabling all other plugins. It made no difference. * Regards * ps.
