Form is not saved

[VincentSC]

All data under tab “API Integration” is not being saved. I tried different browsers, but all I got was “Contact form saved” and an empty form.

What could be the cause? “max_input_vars” is 1000.

Same

Putting it to 10000 did not work. https://wordpress.org/support/topic/form-is-not-saved/

Same issue here. Nothing is saved any suggestions?

Same for me - it can be fixed temporarily by downgrading to Contact Form 7 v5.5.2 -- it appears some change in 5.5.3 is what broke this.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/contact-form-7/advanced/ and scroll to the bottom to get to older versions of the form plugin.

[VincentSC]

I can confirm this works. As suddenly test-data showed up, I assume the data is actually saved but not shown in the form.

WP has a plugin called "Rollback" which made the process of rolling back nice and easy. I think if you haven't tried to re-save the API details, they will come back when you rollback

[VincentSC]

No need for that plugin. By manually uploading the old version, it also rolls back without problems.

I can say that the plugin stops working after an update to 5.5.3. So it needs to be held at 5.5.2 until this is fixed.

Doesn't appear to always be the case. The was the first thing I tried and it said "This plugin already exists"

[VincentSC]

Click "Replace current with uploaded"

[AllCdnBoy]

I don't have those options. It goes from this:

to this:

Weird. No sure why there is a difference, assuming you also have the latest Wordpress version.

About this bug. When I've done my taxes, I'll spend some time to debug the problem. I found another plugin who had the same problem, so it can be done by example. If you cannot wait for my taxes, please be my guest. :)

Main problem is to get a PR accepted, as maintenance is not really done here

[VincentSC]

Fixed! (yes, finished taxes)

Add one line to includes/class-cf7-api-admin.php on line 82, after add_filter( "wpcf7_contact_form_properties" ,array( $this , "add_sf_properties" ) , 10 , 2 );:

    add_filter( 'wpcf7_pre_construct_contact_form_properties', array( $this, 'add_sf_properties' ), 10, 2 );

That's all.

I'm not at my dev-machine, so cannot easily create a PR. So if you want it fixed now, you need to manually edit that file. I've already contacted the author some days ago, but did not get a response yet.

(all credit goes to @mariovalney, as he figured things out)

Thanks for the props @VincentSC :)

Actually the answer is in CF7 release post. The problem is CF7 seems to do not follow semantic versioning and introduced a breaking change.

I've made the PR #49 to fixes it.
