 * This could be due to a conflict with your WP theme or one of the other plugins
   you are using.
 * Switch temporarily (nothing will be lost when you switch back) to a WP default
   theme & disable all plugins other than Contact Form 7 to see if the problem goes
   away.
 * If it does you can switch back to your theme & re-activate each plugin one by
   one to see when the problem occurs.

 * I can`t do that because it doesn`t let me acces the wp-admin panel. I don`t know
   why.
 * I`ve deleted the contact form-7 plugin via ftp. And now this error appears:
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘text’ (T_STRING) in /home/webrigad/public_html/
   wp-includes/class-oembed.php on line 424
 * Any idea?

 * It’s starting to sound like your WP install is corrupted. If you have a suitable
   backup you should consider re-installing from there.
