This same thread exists about this topic. But it has nothing to do with modern wordpress… The linked pages do not have anything in close to the same locations. All I did was select the contact forms available in X. They are called “Creative Contact Forms.” I applied them to entirely blank content, but in every case I get the same error:
“This element cannot render because Contact Form 7 is not active”
I do have the latest version of Wordpress & it is freshly installed.

So I just selected the template in the “Design Cloud” - so I need a plugin too? I didn’t see that anywhere… Will try that now. Thanks.
Hello @derptacious
Yes, you need to install the Contact-form-7 plugin and activate it from the plugin list dashboard. After the Contact-form-7 plugin activation, you can install the “Creative Contact Forms” template from Design Cloud.
Thanks
Going a bit crazy… I did the following at least 5 times:
I googled for a while and tried everything in this thread:
It is a yellow dialogue box. I see no validation messages or errors on the admin dashboard anywhere.
I also don’t see any wordpress errors or mysql errors in the output on the server.
Maybe there is a free contact form 7 alternative that works with X theme?
I’ve seen reports that certain domain names do not work with contact form 7 - is this true? Certain TLDs are not compatible?
I pretty much give up… This software is terrible.
So many total garbage threads like this with no solution & no real debugging help:
This doesn’t help me because I have basically no themes installed except what I mentioned in this thread. I have no other plugins.
More details:
– entirely fresh install of wordpress (latest version) using wordpress’ official docker image
– entirely fresh install of X (latest version)
– tried creating the contact form 7 first, then the page 2nd (and vice versa)
– searched everywhere for “validation” issues, which is what all websites say I have (none exist anywhere on dashboard)

Hi @derptacious,
This has something to do with your server mail option. I suggest that you will WP Mail SMTP Plugin and configure all the requirements. For more details on how to fix your issue, please check this article.
Hope that helps.
Thank you.
They should have mentioned that on debug for Contact Form 7. Yes, there were a few workarounds, but I needed to get SMTP server working. So their debug process is bogus with the yellow error message, etc…
It is good enough, but I just looked at the site without my browser’s dark mode extension… Ouch. Can I get the same theme in dark mode natively?
Thanks.
Hi @derptacious,
If you are using the integrity as stack there’s an option where you can set your design as dark mode.
Hope that helps.
Thank you.
