 * Hello,
 * the text fields, phone fields, email fields have stopped working – they have 
   become static.

 * Try switching to the default theme (twentyfifteen).

 * thank you but not helpful – I tried this in the past while developing the site
   which resulted in a lot of disruption of content. The forms have been working
   for several months until recently.

 * The actual look of CF7 forms on your website will depend largely on the current
   WordPress theme used and the CSS styling that theme applies to standard HTML 
   form elements. To change the style of your CF7 forms you would need to edit the
   CSS style sheets used by your WordPress theme.
 * See [Styling Contact Form 7](http://kb.cf7skins.com/styling-contact-form-7-forms/)
   Forms for a general explanation of styling CF7 forms using CSS.
 * The problem is cause by the code below
 *     ```
