Contact Form 7 works great with IE8 then including a form in a post. But when I include the same form in the widget, then submitting the message fails (The arrow rotates infinitly. Nothing happens after pressing the button.) But if any Contact-Form-7 form is displayed in a post AND the contact-form-7 widget is engaged (with another form), then contact-form-7-widget succeeds in sending an e-mail. I tested in on 2 wordpress blogs (with different themes). One of the blogs is XHTML valid. This is an IE Problem. Firefox is fine. Perhaps it is a coincidence but, after installing the Contact Form 7 Widget, I started getting a lot of spam through it. I removed this widget and replaced it with the Contact Form 7 shortcode and the spam stopped immediately. When I attempted to reinstall the Widget, the spam started again. I have removed the CF7 Widget and am now spam free. Contact Form 7 Widget I installed the widget yesterday; put in the options in the backend etc… The widget does not appear on the page. Only the title appears.??? What to do?
