  • Okay, a quick test run replicated the issue. I’m in dark mode, so it showed a black rectangle instead of white, but the result was the same, as if the cloudfare branded humanity challenge either didn’t load or was behind the block reserved for it (z = -#).

    I filled out the form and clicked to Download Brochure. It actually refreshed the form, retaining the data, and showing the humanity challenge in full.. .and i was able to click the box and earn my checkmark.

    I’d suggest getting into developer tools on your browser (right click, developer tools, inspect) and compare the CSS classes, ids … that apply to the challenge space (is that what you’re calling the widget?) on the page. What differences are happening in the classes etc before the Download Brochure is pressed/tapped/clicked, and after it is.?

    I have only workaround suggestions based on what you find out from an inspection of the widget area.

    1. add some CSS to your site to format the widget container to display:none … assuming that the widget or it’s container is changing classes after the download button is pressed. so it would still be a two step process, but the widget would only show up after one click. not ideal, but a stopgap for a better visual.
    2. maybe one step further is to change the text on the download button so that the innerhtml changes from “Security Check” before it is clicked, and then the widget appears (per above) and the text becomes “Download Brochure” at that point.

    I’d be interested to hear how it goes.

    I had s similar issue with formatting the field length.. .all the CSS tricks with additional classes and formatting of divs would not shorten the size of the field that a form filler outer would use to enter their response. But then I saw somewhere, not sure where, that you could add the text size:## inside the brackets of the field, like so

    [text* First-Name akismet:authorfirst autocomplete:first_name size:18
    maxlength:25 placeholder "first name"]

    Cross your fingers, and adjust your form like so, I’d be interested to hear what the result is.

    [type=”text” background-color: #ffffff ]

    (tangential friendly reminder; the placeholder tag must always come last or the input question gets screwed up in rendering the form on your page. )

    Have you tried…. ???

    Here’s a few options for each of your questions.

    1. Date and Time — the mail tab on the CF7 plugin interface allows you to add html formatting. I wonder if other things might work too… so, have you tried adding this to the mail response for the form in question?
      • <script type=”text/javascript”> let now = new Date(); document.write(“Current date and time: ” + now); </script>
    2. Maybe the above suggestion will also work to answer this question? Or perhaps the question isn’t clear. If you have the system setup so that the data from the form is emailed RIGHT AFTER the form is submitted, then is the date/time stamp on the email good enough ?? if you’re using gmail, you could have a script at the ready to populate a spreadsheet with the contents of those incoming emails, including the date-time stamp of it’s arrival. Would that work? (it’s a longer answer and involves systemic steps on your part as an admin.
    3. Multiple File uploads: Have you tried... using the CTRL key plus a click on multiple documents to select more than one? Do tell, what happened?
    4. No file selected info… Again, back to the mail tab in the CF7 plugin interface. Since I don’t have any forms that require document uploads, i can’t say, but for all other fields you can add the field tag to the email template so that whatever is entered by the visitor to your form will appear when the form is submitted… My questions is, have you tried adding the tag for the file upload to see if it poplulates either the name of the files attached or some other message (nothing selected, or blank, or just an empty field?
