Hi, this contact form plugin works fine for me. I just have a issue of my page being validated. The beginning of the contact form code starts with a <div> tag. Thanks for WP's annoying feature of adding <p> where I don't want them, it adds a <p> before that <div> and thus results in a validation error. Does anyone know how to turn this stupid feature off? I've already looked into turning off the wautop function in the default-filters.php file and that hasn't stopped the <p> adding. My page with the contact form plugin used is here:

I don't think that the contact form is adding this
<p>tag. It may be coming from your template or the enclosing post's content. I've used Contact Form 7 many times and I've never had this problem. and, yes, I do validate all pages so I know I've not had an issue with an unclosed p tag. -

- I'm using Contact Form 7 in a WordPress Page,
- its content is only the [contact-form ...] tag.
- My contact-form starts with a <label> tag (no blank-spaces before).
Contact Form 7 is adding its form tag and wrappers, and then a <p> tag (which never closes), and then my first <label>... resulting in validation error.
Any workaround?
-
Place each label/input pair in a set of
<p></p>tags? Or enclose all label/inputs inside the form within a set of<p></p>tags. -

But I still consider this behavior a bug, some people would like to use:
<dl> <dt><label for="...">Label</label></dt> <dd><input id="..." name="..." type="text"/></dd> <dl>which is easily stylable, and could be semantic in some context.
