My Contact Form 7 is adding an extra p tag so it’s causing a validation error.

This is the code I have in the admin panel.
<p class="subject"><label>Subject *</label><span class="select-shadow clearfix"> [select* subject "General Inquiry" "Problems with the Site" "Support"]</span></p>

This is what’s being outputted.
```
<p class="subject"><label for="subject">Subject *</label><span class="select-shadow clearfix"> <span class="wpcf7-form-control-wrap subject"><br />
<select name="subject" class="wpcf7-form-control  wpcf7-select wpcf7-validates-as-required">
<option value="General Inquiry">General Inquiry</option>
<option value="Problems with the Site">Problems with the Site</option>
<option value="Support">Support</option>
</select>
<p></span></span></p>
```
You see, on that last line there’s a stray open p tag.

does anyone know how I can fix this?

No that’s not it.

The way it’s being outputted is
```
<p>
<lable></lable>
<span>
<span>
<select></select>
<p>
</span>
</span>
</p>
```
the way it should be outputted is
```
<p>
<lable></lable>
<span>
<span>
<select></select>
</span>
</span>
</p>
```
for some reason an extra <p> is being generated.

It’s a theme issue. Try switching to the default theme.

Yeah, it renders correctly on the default theme, but I have no idea where the <p> is coming from. There’s nothing in my theme that should be making it.

this is the code on the page.php file.

I just don’t see what can be causing it.

That didn’t make any difference. I’m pretty sure it’s not the CSS. I’m thinking it might be a plugin.

Did you sort this, gilgimech? I am having the same problem..

Yeah, I had to go into the plugin and remove them there. It’s in each of the files in the modules folder.

Look for $html variables. That’s where I edited it.

If you’re not comfortable with PHP I don’t recommend editing the files.

That is pretty annoying, considering they’ll just respawn when the plugin updates!

I’ve used this plugin on dozens of sites without any markup problems. It’s definitely a theme issue.

It’s only a problem on one page, and I can’t see what could be causing it at all – but the weirdness in the validation is causing ie7 and 8 ajax validation to fall over. But, only on that one page…

Yeah, the more I use this plugin the less I like it. I plan on switching to Gravity Forms in the near future.

I did switch to gravity forms, then my client hired some idiots while I was ill that replaced it with contact form 7!! I am not happy!
