Spinning arrow is a common symptom of a Javascript conflict.
Use Firebug or Chrome Dev Tools to try to find the conflict. See http://wiki.simple-press.com/installation/troubleshooting/plugin-conflicts/ for some general guidance.
You may need to :
- Deactivate Contact Form 7 and completely delete it. Then re-install it into your WordPress instance.
-
Reinstall your theme.
Hi
Thanks for the help. I did also find the wiki you linked to and I did install firebug. I am not 100% familiar with how to use it correctly but I clicked on the scripts tap and ran the form. The only thing i got was a validation error if I put in incorrect data though still the spinning icon.
If I put correct data then no error. Is there somewhere else I should look other than the script tab? Or should I have to set up differently?
I will try complete delete and reinstall as well.
Thanks again

I could not find any noticable issues with firebug but I guess there is a lot to learn with this but I did find what is causing it however not how to resolve it.
It is the custom permalink structure:
/%postname%
If I turn this to standard then the form works.
However with this custom activated, it does not work.
Is there a reason why this would happen and is there any workaround?
Thanks for the help.
Please supply a link to your CF7 form if possible. Others here may be able and willing to offer a possible solution.
Sure

The user and pass is both sandbox
The main form is currently disabled because of all the testing but there is a form at the bottom left which is the default contact 7 form.
Had a look at your site – it seems to have quite a bit of Javascript . The spinning arrow definitely looks like a classic Javascript conflict.
I think the custom permalink structure issue is just a further symptom of problems on your site rather than the root cause.
It looks like some of your plugins are loading javascript directly into your page content. This is a likely cause of the Javascript conflict with CF7.
Thanks for the help.
I will go back to basics and try and find it!
Best regards
Olly
