setting WPCF7_LOAD_JS (false) not working

Resolved Thomymaster

Hi

WordPress: 5.5.3
Theme: Storefront 2.7.0
CF7: 5.3

I have issues (and i don’t know where they come from) when using my contact form (for 3 weeks now). The spinning wheel is there forever and no mail is sent.

I am using the “WP SMTP 1.2.1”

Anyway, i wanted to set the constant WPCF7_LOAD_JS to false so i added in my functions.php

define( ‘WPCF7_LOAD_JS’, false);

It didn’t work so i set it in wp-config.php but it didn’t work either.

The only possibility to make it work (and mails are sent) is to modify
wp-content/plugins/contact-form-7/wp-contact-form-7.php

/*if ( ! defined( ‘WPCF7_LOAD_JS’ ) ) {
define( ‘WPCF7_LOAD_JS’, true );
}*/

define( ‘WPCF7_LOAD_JS’, false);

What am i doing wrong here? I thought it can also be enabled/disabled using functions.php (i don’t want to change the source code).

Best,
Thomas

Hello @thomymaster,

I already tried to send a message, and it’s to appear to be successful. Did you solve it?

However, please note the best place to put CF7 constants is wp-config.php file, just before this line:

/* That's all, stop editing! Happy publishing. */

You can read Controlling behavior by setting constants to learn more.

Best regards,
Yordan.

Hi

Actually i changed the setting in the wp-contact-form-7.php

I will try.

One further question, why is it not working when i set this in my functions.php?

That works, i placed the define constant below the magic line in wp-config.php, that was causing the error.

Now it works, but one question still remains:

Why is it not working when i set this in my functions.php?

Best,
Thomas

Hello @thomymaster,

This is because WordPress loading sequence. Constants determine whether a feature will be on or off and are queried by the functions that turn the feature on or off. The point here is that the constant that controls that feature must be set before the function makes the query. If you set constants in the functions.php file of your theme, the functions of the configurable features have already been executed, so the constants are not queried.

As wp-config.php is the place with the highest priority, if you set the constants there you will set their configuration globally.

Best regards,
Yordan.
