 * Getting the following in devtools console when editing any multi-step form such
   as the
 * “Health Screen Desk” form:
 * `index.js?ver=6.1:1 Uncaught SyntaxError: Failed to execute 'querySelector' on'
   Document': '#.field-wrap-external_url,.field-wrap-page_id' is not a valid selector.
   
   at l (index.js?ver=6.1:1:1183)at index.js?ver=6.1:1:12672at NodeList.forEach ()
   at HTMLDocument. (index.js?ver=6.1:1:12659)l @ index.js?ver=6.1:1(anonymous) 
   @ index.js?ver=6.1:1(anonymous) @ index.js?ver=6.1:1
 * I already checked with the CF7 Addons and they said it wasn’t cause by their 
   plugin becasue when you deactivate it it’s still there. This is happening when
   editing the multi-step form and have devtools open on that screen.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Funcaught-syntaxerror-failed-to-execute-queryselector%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * Try switching to the default theme, deactivating all plugins excluding Contact
   Form 7, and clearing all cache data.

 * Ok, switched to default theme, and deactivated all plugins.
 * Turned on one at a time, when I turned on Redirection for Contact Form 7 the 
   error appeared.
