Just want to pass along to others…I finally found the problem to this issue in my case.

These lines had been added to my wp-config file:

/** Absolute path to the WordPress directory. */
if ( !defined(‘ABSPATH’) )
define(‘ABSPATH’, dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/’);

/** Sets up WordPress vars and included files. */
require_once(ABSPATH . ‘wp-settings.php’);
//Disable File Edits
define(‘DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT’, false);

It had been added to the bottom of the file UNDER where the “stop editing” text was shown.

Removing the lines solved the problem completely.

If others are having this problem, and if they have given access to their site for any kind of technical assistance, they should look for this in their wp-config file.

PS…also added it for input type “tel”. They have a bunch…wonder if there is a simpler way to code it for “any input via Contact Form 7”. that would be great.

Or basically, since it has to work with any theme/plug-in…”any input form” would be terrific!

Thanks Tara. I’ll give it a try. Yikes. That’s a lot of stuff for a rookie.

I’ll try not to seriously break anything. LOL.

Neither of these methods worked, either:

Use phpMyAdmin to deactivate all plugins.

In the table wp_options, under the option_name column (field) find the active_plugins row
Change the option_value field to: a:0:{}
Or reset your plugins folder via FTP or the file manager provided in your host’s control panel. This method preserves plugin options but requires plugins be manually reactivated.

Via FTP or your host’s file manager, navigate to the wp-contents folder (directory)
Via FTP or your host’s file manager, rename the folder “plugins” to “plugins.hold”
Login to your WordPress administration plugins page (/wp-admin/plugins.php) – this will disable any plugin that is “missing”.
Via FTP or your host’s file manager, rename “plugins.hold” back to “plugins”
