How to add placeholder for contact form7 for dropdown? [closed]

by

to answer the question: this is not possible.

AFAIK, (HTMLwise) there’s no way to add a placeholder to select tags.

A lot of devs I know however tend to use disabled selected combination for the option…

<select>
    <option value="" disabled selected>Select your option</option>
    <option value="ydasdas">ydasdas</option>
    <option value="dasda">dasda</option>
    <option value="ydagfdsdas">ydagfdsdas</option>
    <option value="ewefsdf">ewefsdf</option>
</select>

I have checked CF7’s source code (version 4.3.1), and there’s no easy way we can achieve this html format.

You can go the hard way by removing wpcf7_add_shortcode_select action on wpcf7_init and add yours instead.
