 * I was trying to make changes to my Conditions and I never did notice that something
   went wrong!
 * When I go to the form, I click the “Conditional Fields” Tab, it then scrolls 
   to the bottom where I see a box that has the title of the tab and nothing more!?
 * Why can’t I see the content in the box?

 * Can you share a screenshot, and check the browser console for any javascript 
   errors?

 * Hello,

 * Seems like your page stopped rendering all of a sudden. Could be due to a PHP
   error. Can you enable php debugging to see if any errors show up?
 * You can enable debugging by going to your wp-config.php file and adding/modifying
   this line:
 * `define( 'WP_DEBUG', true );`

 * Hey,
 * thanks for that.
 * Sorry, just a heads up that I will be delayed on your next troubleshooting step.
   Busy Busy.
 * Hopefully will be done within 24 hours.
 * Cheers for your help so far! You are the first Dev that actually puts the effort
   into detailed help and instructions and I love it!

 * Hey,
 * I found the issue! Debug shows Error…

 * Looks like you are not using the latest version of Contact Form 7. Could you 
   check your version? The current version of CF7 is 7.4.7

 * Yes, you are right.
 * It would seem it is considered as “up-to-date” because the latest CF7 is not 
   compatible with my WP version. I am a lower version due to theme Dev not making
   updates for it fast enough.
 * Note that I consider making an upgrade, but I am still in planning phase.
 * So unless I install the latest CF7 and hope it does work, I guess it is a matter
   of reverting back your plugin version that matches compatibility with my version(
   CF7 4.4.2).
 * Please advise?

 * If you really cannot update CF7, than you might just go to plugins/cf7-conditional-
   fields/admin.php
 * And change lines
 *     ```
       26: $all_fields = $post->scan_form_tags();
       39: $all_groups = $post->scan_form_tags(array('type'=>'group'));
       ```
   
 * to
 *     ```
       26: $all_fields = $post->form_scan_shortcode();
       39: $all_groups = $post->form_scan_shortcode(array('type'=>'group'));
       ```
   
 * Make sure to not update Conditional Fields again before you have updates CF7.
   The plugin updates are only tested with the latest versions of CF7 and WP

 * For some reason, I get this:
 * > Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘&’ in …/wp-content/plugins/cf7-conditional-
   > fields/admin.php on line 26

 * you probably added an & while pasting?
 * make sure to paste the code and not type it over. remove the line numbers and
   colons.
 * the first sign is a dollar sign $ which you might be confuding with &. sorry 
   if this sounds stupid but i have no idea how familiar you are with coding php
   🙂

 * Hey,
 * right, the email read like this (which I copied and pasted):
 * “26: $all_fields = “$post->form_scan_shortcode();””
    “39: $all_groups = “$post-
   >form_scan_shortcode(array(‘type’=>’group’));””
 * But I see it is now better looking with the forum lolz
 * Edit: Ok, the forum keeps correcting it lolz. so the email shows “$post-&gt” 
   not the proper code.
