 * Hi
 * I’m getting the below Fatal Error when submitting my name and email using this
   plugin. The user is actually being subscribed to the email list, but being redirected
   to a page with this messaging:
 * `Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to a member function get_status() on null 
   in /home/sitename/public_html/wp-content/plugins/contact-form-7/includes/contact-
   form.php:734 Stack trace: #0 /home/sitename/public_html/wp-content/plugins/contact-
   form-7/includes/controller.php(14): WPCF7_ContactForm->submit() #1 /home/sitename/
   public_html/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(284): wpcf7_control_init() #2 /home/
   sitename/public_html/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(310): WP_Hook->apply_filters(
   NULL, Array) #3 /home/sitename/public_html/wp-includes/plugin.php(515): WP_Hook-

   home/sitename/p...') #9 {main} thrown in /home/sitename/public_html/wp-content/
   plugins/contact-form-7/includes/contact-form.php on line 734`
 * Any clues greatly appreciated!
 * Thanks

 * To add some more info, I have checked my PHP version and am using 7.0.33.

 * The issue turned out to be an additional plugin on the site to change the url
   from the default, all working now

 * I’ve received the same error, and I was able to come up with a bizarre workaround
   for it, but I don’t believe that I’ve necessarily solved the problem. I found
   that changing the URL on the pages that I saw the error on bypassed the error
   and sent the email. e.g if [http://www.xyz.com/4097-2/](http://www.xyz.com/4097-2/)
   generated an error (4097-2 is a specific URL that failed on the site I used to
   generate a failure), I’d change the URL to [http://www.xyz.com/completely-new-page/](http://www.xyz.com/completely-new-page/)
   and all was well. We do have a caching plugin as well (WP Super Cache) but I 
   disabled it, so I know that’s not the issue either.
 * Wondering what the underlying cause may be.
