In reply to: [Contact Form 7] Pass variables from shortcode to formI have a similar issue. My WordPress site uses a back-end database feed, do I have number of product pages with multiple products on them. I want to have a linked CF7 form that pops up on in a modal that allows the customer to inquire about each product. I cannot use any techniques I’ve see up to this point because all of the wp meta stuff doesn’t differentiate between multiple different links on the same page generating the same form, but with a unique value. I’ve tried passing a value using GET, but that doesn’t work because the link quickly triggers the modal and then generates the new URL with the parameter after the form is already visible. I really need to pass the value IN the CF7 shortcode or an attribute of the button/link element because I can dynamically work with that easily in my code.
If anyone knows a way to pass a value IN the CF7 shortcode, it would sure solve my problem in the easiest way.

In reply to: [Contact Form 7] Yahoo Senders Not Going ThroughHaving the same problem.
Here’s how I’m set up: I have a contact form on every page of my site which collects sales leads. The form sends an email to an email address which I monitor, but I also have that email address forward all leads automatically to my sales manager, who happens to use outlook.com.
Now, here’s what’s going on: I get the contact form emails from yahoo.com address no problem. However, the forward to my sales manager doesn’t go through, presumably because I’m using the actual customer’s email address as the “from” or “return” address (not sure which) when it forwards to him.
Here’s the cause I think, but I’m stumped as to how to address the issue:

Basically, Yahoo requests that other servers decline to forward emails that say they are coming from Yahoo, but are not actually coming from Yahoo. I could change all of my contact forms to generate an email that DOESN’T use the customer’s email address as the originating email and just pass the customer’s email address as data in the email, but that means the sales person who is working the lead can’t just reply to it and it kills some other useful stuff in terms of how we enter customer info into our customer relationship management system.
I’m going to look deeply at how I have my forms set up, but I’d love to hear from any others how they are dealing with this.
