Contact Forms not working in Kickstarter Pro Sidebars

[Alpherjo]

Hi all on this site: http://www.teachandlearnliteracy.org/about-us/

I have a Contact Form 7 email signup in the sidebar. When you click your mouse in that email input field, it causes the page to automatically reload. I'm adding this form in the sidebar by adding the CF7 shortcode into a text widget.

I also tried using the CF7 Sidebar Widget to place the code, AND a Gravity Forms signup in this sidebar with the exact same results.

The CF7 Contact Form is working fine on this site's Contact Us page, so there has got to be some issue with the sidebar with this them and forms. I have not seen this issue before with any other Studiopress themes.

Any insight into this issue would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

The issue you are experiencing is generally caused by bad HTML somewhere on the page, not the form or theme. Bad HTML means missing closing tags, unmatched tags, stray tags, etc.. You have a lot of bad HTML on the page starting with the following line of text:

Being part of the Syrian Community Network/Heart 4 Refugees, we have designated non-profit status and donations to TaLL are tax-deductible

At the end of this line you have a closing strong tag without a corresponding opening tag. This one error could be generating all the rest of the errors on the page. You need to fix one at a time and revalidate the page after each fix. https://validator.w3.org/nu/?doc=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.teachandlearnliteracy.org%2Fabout-us%2F
