 * Hello, I’ve done a pretty exhaustive search trying to find a solution to my issue
   and now I’m just exhausted. This may be a simple fix, but I’m not a developer,
   coder, or web designer, so forgive me.
 * I made a custom submit button that includes the word “Send” by creating a custom
   background image to a new class I created for the submit button, then changed[
   submit “Send”] to [submit class:buttons_form ” “]. When I published the site 
   in late July, it looked and behaved exactly how I wanted it. I’m not sure what
   happened, theme update, WordPress update, plugin update, but now the default 
   value for the button is “Send” and it’s showing on top of my button, therefore
   it says, “Send” twice.
 * Here’s the snippet I’m getting from Firebug:
 * <input class=”wpcf7-form-control wpcf7-submit buttons_form” type=”submit” value
   =”Send”>
 * I cannot for the life of me, figure out where to change the default value for
   the button. I understand what is happening, if I change the form to [submit class:
   buttons_form “TEST”], of course, the button reads “TEST,” but if I leave it blank
   or just have spaces, it reverts to the default value of “Send.”
 * Thanks in advance.

 * Well, it’s not the best solution, but I finally figured it out.
 * In /contact-form-7/modules/submit.php I deleted the word Send in the following
   code:
 *     ```
       if ( empty( $value ) )
       		$value = __( 'Send', 'wpcf7' );
       ```
