Email message is not showing the correct values / Wrong values are submitted

All field names should be unique

Even though your fields might never show up at the same time, it is still important to realize that WPCF7CF will not remove the fields, it merely hides them. So all fields will be submitted when the form is sent. Because of this no two fields can have the same name.

Incorrect form (2 input elements having the same name “a”):

[group group-1][select a "1" "2" "3"][/group]
[group group-2][select a "1" "2" "3"][/group]

Correct form (all groups and fields have unique names):

[group group-1][select a "1" "2" "3"][/group]
[group group-2][select b "1" "2" "3"][/group]

All my groups show up all the time and never get hidden.

Reason #1: Javascript error
Check your browser console (F12) for any javascript errors. WPCF7CF loads it’s scripts at the bottom of the HTML page, so if some javascript error gets triggered before that, the code will not be executed in most browsers.
Before reaching out to the support forum try to determine which plugin or theme is causing the problem, by gradually disabling plugins and changing theme.

Reason #2: wp_footer() isn’t loaded
Check if your theme is calling the wp_footer() function. Typically this function will be called in your theme’s footer.php file.
The conditional fields javascript code is loaded during wp_footer, so a call to this function is crucial. If there is no such call in your theme, go to your theme’s footer.php file and add this code right before the closing </body> tag:
<?php wp_footer(); ?>

2.2.10 (2022-12-11)

• Fully tested with Contact Form 7 version 5.7 (when WP_DEBUG is false). Note: due to some errors in Contact Form 7 version 5.7 you will need to make sure WP_DEBUG is set to false in your wp-config.php file.
• disable automatic insertion of paragraphs. Recent CF7 updates have changed the autop mechanism, causing too many problems with parsing the HTML code. If you still want to use autop (at your own risk) copy this code to your functions.php file: add_filter( 'wpcf7_autop_or_not', '__return_true', 41, 0);. Untill further notice Conditional Fields and Conditional Fields for Contact Form 7 will not use the automatic paragraph feature of CF7. Always try to write clean and valid HTML code. GH issue 85
