Spinning Arrow keeps on spinning after clicking submit button

I’m also having this issue since upgrading to the latest version of CF7 and WordPress 3.6 today. The spinning arrow icon keeps spinning and no email is sent.

Looks like CF7 is not compatible with WP 3.6 yet.

I guess this issue will get fixed in the next CF7 update to make it work with the latest version of WordPress.

This is most likely due to a Javascript conflict with either your current WordPress theme or one of the other plugins you are using – see Solving CF7 Javascript Conflicts.

Use Firebug or Chrome Dev Tools to examine Javascript conflicts in detail – see Use Firebug or Chrome Dev Tools

I am also having the same problem as @littlelogic. Will deactivating plugins and switching to the default theme wipe out any revisions I’ve made to plugins and the theme I’m currently using?

For now, I guess I’ll just put a footnote to ignore the spinning arrows after clicking submit.

And this is all beyond my scope of understanding. Sigh. https://developers.google.com/chrome-developer-tools/docs/javascript-debugging

This is one of the pages I am having a problem with: http://theethnicpantry.com/contact/

I just installed Contact Form 7 (version 3.5) to my development website today, and am also getting the spinning arrow. Eventually, if I leave it for awhile, it sends the email, but it takes a long time (like an hour or so). I just installed Contact Form 7 today – and it installed the latest version.

Interestingly, though, I had the old version of Contact Form 7 (version 3.4.2) on another website. I also updated it to the new version today, but appears to be working fine. It’s not getting the spinning arrow nor is it taking forever to send an email.

Thanks for the help dougiegsd – I removed my checkbox group with multiple selections, and the spinning arrow doesn’t happen anymore.

But for some reason I’m not receiving the email? It’s been over a half hour now and I still haven’t received the 2 emails that I sent from the form. I know it’s setup correctly because yesterday I was eventually getting the email, although it took an hour or so.

The only plugins that I have activated are Under Construction, Contact Form 7, and Really Simple CAPTCHA. CF7 was my 2nd plugin installed. I’m using the Aspen theme.

I noticed the problem today when I was giving a demo to my client…RRRRRRRrrr why do they always malfunction at such times?!

Anyway, Chrome’s network inspector showed the following output from the AJAX call upon submitting a Contact Form 7 form that contained checkboxes:

<br />
<b>Warning</b>:  trim() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in <b>/home/jagfs/public_html/id-content/plugins/contact-form-7/includes/classes.php</b> on line <b>599</b><br />
<br />
<b>Warning</b>:  trim() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in <b>/home/jagfs/public_html/id-content/plugins/contact-form-7/includes/classes.php</b> on line <b>599</b><br />
{"mailSent":true,"into":"#wpcf7-f2062-p2063-o1","captcha":null,"message":"Your message was sent successfully. Thanks."}

The icon keeps spinning because Javascript doesn’t know how to handle the error message. It only knows what to do with the JSON (the last part){"mailSent":true,"into":"#wpcf7-f2062-p2063-o1","captcha":null,"message":"Your message was sent successfully. Thanks."}

The solution is to do what was pointed out in another thread: open up /includes/classes.php and from line 599 change

$submitted = trim( $submitted );

			if ( is_array( $submitted ) )
				$replaced = join( ', ', $submitted );
			else
				$replaced = $submitted;

to this instead

//$submitted = trim( $submitted ); Lose this line
			if ( is_array( $submitted ) )
				$replaced = join( ', ', $submitted );
			else
				$replaced = trim( $submitted );

I was able to solve the spinning issue by deleting the ‘WP Super Cache’ cache files that were in the plugins folder.

Hope this helps….
