 * Hi there,
 * I have followed the instructions, using CF7 and simply get
 * > Failed to send your message. Please try later or contact the administrator 
   > by another method.
 *  on submit. The post is submitted but the error still occurs. I can change the
   error message to be a success message but any reason why it registered as failed
   even though the post is submitting?
 * This is my contact form:
 *     ```
       <p>Your Name (required)<br />
           [text* post_title] </p>
   
       <p>Review<br />
           [textarea* post_content] </p>
   
       <p>[submit "Send"]</p>
       ```
   
 * So your plugin detects that the form has the insert post fields and so submits
   a post instead of emailing? Can you still use CF7 for emailing on the same page?
 * Thanks

 * I just pushed an updated version of the plugin. It was not compatible with CF7
   version 3.9 which was recently released.
 * Try the update and let me know.

 * Hi Michael,
 * I now have version 0.5 but am having the same problem with the same form.
 * I’ve just changed the css and message for the first error to resemble a success
   message. Only issue is if there is a real error, and the fields dont reset on
   submit. But still, your plugin is incredible and has saved me a lot of time already.

 * I created a contact form by copying & pasting what you have above. I put that
   CF7 short code in a post. I submitted on the form. CF7 reported that it was successfully
   submitted and the post was created. There seems to be something peculiar about
   your site.
