Plugin symptom Contact Form 7

Contact Form 7 GA4 conversion tracking not firing

Contact Form 7 tracking often fails because the form submits with AJAX, redirects inconsistently, fires duplicate listeners, or interacts with GTM and consent settings in a way the conversion trigger does not expect.

When this usually happens

Common triggers

after changing a form or redirect plugin
after editing GTM triggers
after adding a consent banner
after switching themes or builders
after installing tracking plugins
after changing thank-you page behavior

Common causes

What could be misconfigured

AJAX submit does not create a pageview
GTM trigger listens to the wrong event
thank-you redirect is inconsistent
GA4 tag is duplicated
consent blocks conversion tags
plugin-injected tracking competes with GTM

Not always the plugin

When Contact Form 7 is probably not the root cause

Contact Form 7 may not be the root cause if GTM is duplicated, consent blocks the tag, GA4 is configured incorrectly, or another plugin intercepts the redirect or submit event.
