 * After applying the new Contact Form 7 Update, the configuration error modules
   report that there is a syntax error using TAGS such as [your-name]. This error
   unable the form to work anymore. Client go to the form on the webpage, fill up
   the field and when they click on SEND they receive this message: Failed to send
   your message. Please try later or contact the administrator by another method.
 * Any solutions? Can we go back to the previous plugin version that was working
   ^
 * Please Contact Form &, fix this issue rapidly.
