[Plugin: Contact Form 7] Validation Message Auto Close or Show Up On Another Page

Hey Everyone,

I’ve installed this plugin on a lot of sites. But this one in particular is making me bang my head. There is a email harvester in the upper right corner that’s just simply an email form submitting to an email address so the end user can then take that email and put it into a list. It works just fine.

However, the validation message, as you know, auto populates after clicking submit and if it’s in a content area with a white background, it shows up fine. For the area that I’m putting this form in, the validation box seems clunky and useless because there is no “X” to close the message, no “esc” button makes it go away, and the styling is all wrong (I know it can be fixed, but I’d still like it to close).

Is there a way to have this message auto-close after say 3 seconds? Or is there a way to close the message out manually that I’m unaware of?

The other option would be to send to a “Submit” page. I’ve seen the code you put into additional settings, but does the end result display that same message that normally populates when clicking submit? Or do I have to work some code in the page to make it display?

Thanks,
