 * As I wrote in the [release note](http://contactform7.com/2013/04/09/contact-form-7-34/),`
   input[type="text"]` no longer matches email fields. Try using `input.wpcf7-text`
   instead.

 * I have the same problem. I’m kind of a beginner, so could you please explain 
   how I do that (“use input.wpcf7-text instead”)?

 * Same problem here. Deleted the old plugin, created a new form, but email field
   doesn’t show
 * <p>[text* text-389 placeholder “nome”] </p>
 * <p>[text* text-374 placeholder “cognome”]<p>
 * <p>[email* email-505 placeholder “e-mail”] </p>
 * <p>[select menu-63 “Vorrei informazioni sul corso…” “HACCP” “CQC (C-E)” “CQC (
   D-E)”] </p>
 * <p>[textarea textarea-519 placeholder “messaggio”] </p>
 * <p>[submit “invia”]</p>

 * Same kind of problem for me. The email box is not looking the same as the others.
   It would be great to get a helping hand and how to solve this.
 * Great plugin otherwise.

 * I solved in this way:
    Add to your input style this class: `.wpcf7-form-control`
   with the same properties of other inputs. For example, mine are: input[type=”
   text”], input[type=”password”], textarea. Search your own with Firebug or Chrome,
   and add to new class `.wpcf7-form-control` the same prop. Otherwise do what the
   author tell to do:
 * > If you don’t wish to use HTML5 input types, you can disable this by adding 
   > the following code into your theme’s functions.php file:
   >  add_filter( ‘wpcf7_support_html5’,‘
   > __return_false’ );

 * Sorry, this method is not really easy-to-use…
    Maybe is it possible to have a
   patch to fix it?
 * Thanks 🙂

 * A simple CSS rule isn’t easy?
    Don’t you have a child theme? You have to add 
   that rule in your child thme’s style.css file if you want a quick fix by now.
   Then, when the author gives a solution or plugin is fixed by an update, you can
   delete that rule. A third temporary way is the previous version.
