Hello!

On my “Get A Quote” form (link above – created with Contact Form 7), I have a date field entitled “What’s your preferred completion date?”. On Chrome & Edge, I get a nice drop-down menu that allows users to select the date. On Firefox, nothing is provided – and if users do not fill out the blank field in exactly the correct format, the form won’t be sent.

This Firefox issue is known by the Contact Form 7 developers; they’ve provided an FAQ regarding how to fix the issue:
http://contactform7.com/faq/does-contact-form-7-support-html5-input-types/

However, it requires adding a piece of code to a particular PHP file. Do I need to use child themes to accomplish this, or is there an easier way for me to do it using the Customizer?

The simplest approach would be best in this case, as I’d rather not dive into child themes if I can help it.

Thank you!
Luke

Hey Luke,

It is strongly recommended to use a child theme. The code must be added in functions.php. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9VNXh506ys to learn how to add code in functions.php.

Thanks.

Hello,

I re-investigated Child Themes (I hadn’t done so in a year or so). A whole lot easier than I remembered! I got that up & running in five minutes, and was able to get the code as needed. Thanks for the help!
