Here is what I did. I installed the original v14.6 Still didn’t work (stuck on one moment please and no info from form sent to me) I turned off the ajax setting at the top of the form settings and the form worked

I updated to 14.6.3 turned on ajax and form didn’t work. Turned off ajax and form worked.

So the issue seems to be in the ajax setup. I looked over the version history and nothing jumped out at me between 11.7 and 14.6 but I’m not a programmer. Like I said the plugin worked for years with the ajax setting on.

Any ideas

*side note* as soon as I activated the form I would get at least one filled out spammy form so I know my wordpress install is good since the form command is working

The 1.4.2 update fixed the issue

That’s why it is better to edit CSS files instead of function files because if you make mistake with the CSS the worst that will happen is the code will be ignored.

Do you have any other way to edit that “contact-form-7/includes/css/styles.css”? I use Filezilla and a text editor instead of the editor in the admin. Do you have access to the file manager on your webhost control panel – you can use it to edit the file.

If you can’t find a way to edit the contact form css then make the change to the code in the function file.

Just change the 1600px auto in background-size to 100% 100%

You have a complicated header because of the form element.

Try adding the site header code to the css file your form7 plugin uses. The issue doing that is when the plugin gets updated you will have to add the code back to the file each time:

.site-header {
background-size: 100% 100% !important;
}

Add to /wp-content/plugins/contact-form-7/includes/css/styles.css

It it still doesn’t work then you will need to edit your header file that has this code in it:

<style type="text/css" id="twentythirteen-header-css">
.site-header {
background: url(http://amberandsteph.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/assitebanner121.jpg) no-repeat scroll top;
background-size: 1800px auto;
}
.site-title,
.site-description {
position: absolute;
clip: rect(1px 1px 1px 1px); /* IE7 */
clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);
}
</style>

Where you see the background-size: selector you would need to change the numbers to 100% 100% !important instead of the 1800px auto;

Try adding the code to the form css first

I looked at your css file at http://amberandsteph.com/wp-content/themes/twentythirteen-child/style.css and didn’t see the code. Did you save the file back when you added it?

When I added the code using Firebug it worked for me.

I solved my issue. Inside the function I finally figured out what the block of code was to choose what url to write in the og:url tag:

<?php if(!is_single()){
    if(is_home() || is_front_page()){ // not sure if you have set a static page as your front page
        echo '<meta property="og:url" content="'.get_bloginfo('url').'" />';
    }elseif(is_tag()){
        echo '<meta property="og:url" content="http://'.$_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"] . $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"].' ">';
        }
}
?>

The main issue was syntax errors in the data used for the echo statements and I used a PHP syntax checker to knock them down.

I am getting the notice in the admin that an update is available but the system isn’t doing the update automatically. It worked with the same plugins and setup for the 3.7.1 update.

I’ve also posted new posts and updated plugins since the 12th

I read where the updates aren’t in real time but are rolled out and I was concerned that it had been 5 days and no update.

I hit the update button just now and it updated fine

I ended up making that element:

.site-header {
background-size: 100% 100% !important;
}

Making the height 100% seems to reduce the space at the bottom more than set at auto. On my child theme there was no space between the header image and the nav bar with both set for 100%

There will be some overlap where the nav bar overlaps the bottom of the header image by a few pxs but nothing you can’t fix by editing the header image
