 * Is there a way to put an age gap to the form
 * Only people of 13 years old and older should be aloud to fillout the form that
   is why I need a gap

 * You could include a required [number field](https://contactform7.com/number-fields/),
   where the minimum entry is 13. e.g.
    `[number* your-age min:13 max:99]`
 * Or an [acceptance checkbox](https://contactform7.com/acceptance-checkbox/) to
   confirm the person is aged 13 or over before they send the form. e.g.
    `[acceptance
   your-consent] I confirm that I am 13 years of age or older [/acceptance]`

 * That is what I tried but I need to be able to have a message saying if they are
   not 13 and over they can not submit the form

 * Place the acceptance box at the end of the form and in “Messages” >> “There are
   terms that the sender must accept” insert something like _You must be aged 13
   or over to submit the form_, which should show if the user does not check the
   box (although this may be browser dependent).

 * Unfortunately, this doesn’t cover the COPPA law ([http://www.isafeventures.com/2015/08/04/coppa/](http://www.isafeventures.com/2015/08/04/coppa/))
 * I need a gate (a message saying you cannot submit this form because you are not
   13 years old or older) to show up after they submit the form if the year of their
   birthday in not 13 and up
 * If not we’ll be violating the law
 * This used to work with contact form 7, I had it working but after the last update
   this stopped working

 * Try disabling all other plugins and switch to a stock WordPress theme (e.g. Twenty-
   Seventeen) to rule out a conflict. You can use the [Health Check plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/health-check/)
   to prevent any visitors to the site from seeing any changes while you test.
