Validation messages stay on the screen

Hello,

With Contact Form 7, I was used to this behavior: when I had error validation messages (like email not correct or topic not provided), I was able to remove them by hovering the message (they were disappearing with a fade out effect).

Since the new version 3.6, messages are still present when I hover them, they remain on the screen and are hiding part of the field.

Anyone has this same behavior?

It has been removed from Contact Form 7 3.6, as part of accessibility improvements.

Thanks for your quick answer (and many thanks for this great plugin).

In my opinion, the accessibility is not as good as before because the field is hidden by the validation message…

See this screenshot: http://snag.gy/cvAUh.jpg the user cannot see what he is actually typing.

What do you think?

You probably have custom style for .wpcf7-not-valid-tip in your theme’s stylesheet. Try removing it.

Yes, you’re right. Now it works, now the error messages are displayed under the field and cannot disappear.
Fine for me 🙂 Thanks for your help!

SO how do we get the “Your Message Sent Successfully, Thanks” to disappear after 5 seconds?

Anyone do this before? I’ve searched about 100 pages of support, getting depressed.
