Wordpress Contact Form

thecelt

Hey all,

Has anyone any contact form plugin that they would reccommend for wordpress.org

I had been using contact 7 and its not sending the email,
also Fast Secure Contact Form seems to send the email from the form, but it never turns up?

Any ideas appreciated as starting to give up!

More than likely it's the PHP mail configuration is the problem. Check the sendmail_path setting.

You could test it using a simple script such as the following, be sure to change the email address first:

<?php
  mail ('email@address.com', "Test Email Subject", "Test mail from PHP mailer.");
?>

If the email isn't delivered then WordPress is not the issue.

There's also a plugin to save Contact Form 7 submissions to the database: Contact Form DB.

I found this contact form quite good:Clean and Simple Contact Form.
To configure SMTP I used "Easy WP SMTP". The only thing with Easy WP SMTP is that it seems to only be able to send the mail to a mail address that is the same as the server hosting the wordpress site. E.g. if it is a site www.dogs.com then the email address the contact from is sent to has to be an address that is "sometyhing@dogs.com".

I set up an email at the domain and had it forward to my regular mail, this works if i send an email to it,
I tried clean and simple,
it says email sent, but not sending,
if i activate easy wp smtp it then says cant sent email, any ideas appreciated

Like Talisman said, it sounds like it's not a WordPress issue. Your server probably isn't setup to send email.

1) Talk to your hosting company.
2) Use an external email service like Mandrill.

Thanks for your advice,
Just to mention also,
I was using contact form 7 but for some reason it stopped sending email.
It was working fine the last year and now it says email is sent and nothing ever arrives

Second the Mandrill suggestion. SMTP is often disabled on shared hosts due to compromised accounts sending spam.
