# WordPress updates cause plugins to stop working

 * The last two security updates (4.4.1 and 4.4.2) caused my contact plugins to 
   stop working. When the user clicks ‘send’, it will not email me their information.
   It knows that the form isn’t being sent and tells the user that it wasn’t sent.
 * To fix it, I had to restore WordPress to a previous date. This is not a long 
   term solution.
 * I have two contact form plug-ins: Contact form 7 (see it here: [http://insiteshred.com/about/](http://insiteshred.com/about/)),
   and Jazzyforms (See it here: [http://insiteshred.com/quote/](http://insiteshred.com/quote/)).
   Both of them break similarly when it is updated.
 * The plugins perform fine otherwise; they just won’t email me the information.
 * So I figured that there must be some type of PHP setting at my hosting company(
   godaddy) that was getting screwed up. They told me that it was my plugins not
   updating quick enough to become compatible with the new version of wordpress.
   Their suggestion was to dump my current plugins and create new forms with other
   plugins.
 * So that’s my question – is their information bull? It would be a lot of work 
   to change out my plugins. Or, is there something that I’m missing? I’m only reasonably
   adept at wordpress, so I’m unable to challenge them on this. However, it seems
   unlikely that two plugins would simultaneously stop working on two separate updates.
   Both plugins are updated to their most recent versions – but jazzyforms hasn’t
   had an update in quite some time.
 * Any help or advice from you experts would be greatly appreciated!

 * Does this sound like what you’re encountering?

 * Well, I think you’ve hit something here. I checked my “from” email fields, and
   they were (both) not simply an email address. So, I’ve changed that.
 * Now, I’m having difficulty checking it, because Godaddy is a managed wordpress
   host, and now it won’t let me simply update. Since it already updated once, it
   thinks that it is still updated (even though I rolled it back).
 * So I guess I have to download the new version, and reupload it? Not sure I’m 
   swift enough to do all of that.
 * I appreciate your help.

 * That’s possible, yes, but since GoDaddy’s manage WordPress hosting includes WordPress
   support, I recommend running that by them first.

 * I know. Perhaps I’ll wait. They update it almost weekly.

 * Just an update – My website has updated wordpress five times since I made this
   change – and no problems! Thanks for the help!
