 * The submission of contact forms has stopped working since upgrade to WP 5.7 and
   CF7 5.4. Hitting the submit button results in an ever-spinning wheel.
 * When the page with the form is loaded I see the following errors in the javascript
   console:
 *     ```
       jquery-migrate.min.js?ver=3.3.2:2 JQMIGRATE: Migrate is installed, version 3.3.2
   
       api-fetch.min.js?ver…fc7d6dbd156a44561:2 GET http://xxx/wp-json/contact-form-7/v1/contact-forms/221/refill?_locale=user 403 (Forbidden)
   
       api-fetch.min.js?ver…fc7d6dbd156a44561:2 GET http://xxx/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=rest-nonce 400 (Bad Request)
   
       index.js?ver=5.4:1 
       Response {type: "basic", url: "http://xxx/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=rest-nonce", redirected: false, status: 400, ok: false, …}
       ```
   
 * where xxx is the path to my WP installation
 * The same error messages are repeated in the JS console when hittinmg the submit
   button.

 * It’s a large site… I use 55 plugins, of which 24 have been developed by me. I
   also use a custom theme based on _tk, but with the version of Bootstrap updated
   to 3.4.1 to be compatible with the new version of jQuery included with WordPress.

 * I have tested to deactive plugins and change theme in my development environment.
   It appears that the javascript errors occur when I switch on Woocommerce. When
   I deactive Woocommerce things are back to normal again.
 * Hope this will put you on the right track

 * I have now downgraded to 5.3.2 on the production site mentioned above, since 
   I don’t want to leave it in a non-working state. Anyway it seems there is a conflict
   between version 5.4 and Woocommerce

 * I have the same problem, but do not have woocommerce.
    My first conclusion was
   a conflict between my theme and Elementor, but only on Iphone touch phones. It
   all started with a double click problem right after we launched the site this
   week. During this past week the form also stop working (also on web), not just
   that you had to doubel tap. If I empty the cache, it works for a while again.
   Now I managed to detect in the console these bad requests. Took a print screen.
   I have removed the form on the customer’s site, (but has set up one that is not
   in the menu to be able to test) The same phenomenon occurs on the development
   site located on a completely different server. The only new thing I can think
   of is the cache plugin. I deactivated wordfence as it was a problem during the
   move and have not activated it again. Also had reCAPCHA on the page but read 
   that it could cause the problem so removed it with. But the problem remains..
   sporadically …
 * So active plugins on site is:
 * Bulk Media Register
    CMP – Coming Soon & Maintenance Plugin Contact Form 7 Flamingo
   GutenBee Lefkada Essentials Post SMTP Shareaholic – Grow and Engage Your Audience
   Smush UpdraftPlus – Backup/Restore WP-Optimize – Clean, Compress, Cache Yoast
   SEO
 * Test site (developer site): [https://dinlayout.se/2102/](https://dinlayout.se/2102/)
   
   Live site hidden form: [https://trad.nu/kontakta/](https://trad.nu/kontakta/)
 * Theme: Child of [https://www.cssigniter.com/themes/lefkada/](https://www.cssigniter.com/themes/lefkada/)
   
   Printscreen: [https://dinlayout.se/6100/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/2021-04-10-1.png](https://dinlayout.se/6100/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/2021-04-10-1.png)
 * I have started an investigation regarding double clicks with the theme creator,
   so the test site may change both theme and other things in the near future. I
   have to solve this for my customer as fast as possible. I do not know if this
   conflict also causes some other buttons to not work properly. There could probably
   be two separate problems, and we were unlucky enough to suffer from both.
    If
   anyone has any tips, love to hear about them … working around the clock to get
   a working page for the customer.
