Do you have placeholder set on the form config? – Shapely

I have tried using the placeholder but it doesn't work yet! :/ – Ontine

Did you try [text text-7 placeholder ""]? Or disabling other plugins/swapping themes? – Shapely

I have tried with the placeholder on the form config only – Ontine

Answer 3

If you want to make a field read-only, set the readonly option in the form-tag like this:

1. ****strong textTry this

[text* your-name readonly class:required "Write your text here"]

This answer worked for me using Contact Form 7, version 5.8.5. Adding "placeholder" makes the text uneditable and disappear when the user starts typing something into the input field. Make sure that "placeholder" comes straight after the field name as in the example - putting it in the wrong position can disable it. Using "readonly" makes it so the user cannot type anything into the input field. – Mathia

jQuery('.messagedata').keydown(function(event) {
                if (event.ctrlKey==true && (event.which == '118' || event.which == '86')) {
                    //alert('thou. shalt. not. PASTE!');
                    event.preventDefault();
                 }
            });
            jQuery(document).on('keypress', '.messagedata', function (e) {
                const pressedKey = e.key;
                let pressedKeyCode = e.charCode;
                
                
                if ((pressedKeyCode >= 33 && pressedKeyCode <= 47) || 
                    (pressedKeyCode >= 58 && pressedKeyCode <= 64) || 
                    (pressedKeyCode >= 91 && pressedKeyCode <= 96) || 
                    (pressedKeyCode >= 123 && pressedKeyCode <= 126) ) 
                {
                    e.preventDefault();
                
                    
                }
                else {
                    
                }
            });

In wp-admin you have seen Contact Menu form here you create the contact form

Full Name is the placholder which you are seeing.

your code in the contact form 7 like following

[text text-346 placeholder "full name"]

Kindly remove the "placholder full name" text form the field

 [text text-346]
