VistasWordpress Contact Form 7 dynamically autoselect dropdown field based on referral url
I have been working off of these two answers:
Wordpress Contact Form 7 dynamically select dropdown field based on url
Auto-select fields in Contact form 7 based on referral link
Currently, the code below is pasted in the CSS block on the /contact page:
(function($){
$(document).ready(function() {
//determine the previous page,
let page = document.referrer, opt='';
switch(true){
case page.indexOf(’douglas-h-flint’)>0:
opt=‘douglashflint’;
break;
case page.indexOf(‘john-f-connolly’)>0:
opt=‘johnfconnolly’;
break;
case page.indexOf(‘david-l-walker-jr’)>0:
opt=‘davidlwalkerjr’;
break;
}
$('select[name=“select-recipient”]’).find('option[value="'+opt+'"]').prop('selected', 'selected');
})
})(jQuery);
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<select name="select-recipient”>
<option value="">General Inquiry</option>
<option value=“douglashflint”>Douglas H. Flint</option>
<option value=“johnfconnolly”>John F. Connolly</option>
<option value=“davidlwalkerjr”>David L. Walker, Jr.</option>
</select>
My website is: https://c7n.f22.myftpupload.com/
My goal is that when someone navigates to the /contact page directly from one of these people's individual pages—(/attorneys/douglas-h-flint) or (/attorneys/john-f-connolly) or (/attorneys/david-l-walker-jr)—that the "Inquire with:" dropdown field in the contact form would autoselect their respective name and that when someone navigates to the /contact page from any other page on the site, the "Inquire with:" dropdown field would remain defaulted to "General Inquiry" option.
What am I missing? Or what am I doing incorrectly?
Thank you in advance for any help!

Watch the funny stylish quotes (‘, ’, “ and ”) that you have. Those will break JS. Remove them from the HTML markup and CSS as well.
Beyond that, the expected value for the second argument of the .prop() method is a boolean (true or false), so that would be:
$('select[name="select-recipient"]').find('option[value="'+opt+'"]').prop('selected', true);
Finally, it is quite scary to read the code below is pasted in the CSS block... Place this code inside the <head> tag of the page:
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
//determine the previous page,
let page = document.referrer, opt = '';
switch(true){
case page.indexOf('douglas-h-flint') > -1:
opt = 'douglashflint';
break;
case page.indexOf('john-f-connolly') > -1:
opt = 'johnfconnolly';
break;
case page.indexOf('david-l-walker-jr') > -1:
opt = 'davidlwalkerjr';
break;
}
$('select[name="select-recipient"]').find('option[value="'+opt+'"]').prop('selected', true);
})
</script>

While the other answer is a good answer, it's not quite WordPress useable as is. Since this is contact form 7, and WordPress, there are a few things wrong with it.
- Don't re-add jQuery this way
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>the jQuery library is already included with WordPress. - jQuery is loaded in
no conflictmode, so you have to initialize first withjQueryand not$ - You can add your script to your contact form 7 form like this
although this is not the absolute best way to do it. It will work without adding a bunch of javascript to another file. There are also easy ways to use wp_add_inline_scriptto properly enqueue your script conditionally.
So if you add the following to your contact form... it will work.
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(function($) {
//determine the previous page,
let page = document.referrer, opt = '';
switch(true){
case page.indexOf('douglas-h-flint') > -1:
opt = 'douglashflint';
break;
case page.indexOf('john-f-connolly') > -1:
opt = 'johnfconnolly';
break;
case page.indexOf('david-l-walker-jr') > -1:
opt = 'davidlwalkerjr';
break;
}
$('select[name="select-recipient"]').find('option[value="'+opt+'"]').prop('selected', true);
});
</script>
