    Hi Gang –

    Ok, this shouldn’t take more then a minute, but for some reason I am not able to pin down what’s the error in my simple contact form that used to work so well until the 4.4 update:

    <p>Your Name (required)<br />
    [text* your-name] </p>

<p>Your Email (required)<br />
    [email* your-email] </p>

<p>Subject<br />
    [text your-subject] </p>

<p>Your Message<br />
    [textarea your-message] </p>

<p>[submit "Send"]</p>

    Anything I am doing wrong? The error catcher is not that smart to at least point me to the issue.
    thanks,
    gabster

  • The subject line should now be required to ensure that it contains some content when sent:

    <p>Subject (required)<br />
    [text* your-subject] </p>

    thanks – tried that. Didn’t work.

    The errors are usually in the “Mail” tab, where there might be problems sending email. Click that tab and you’ll likely see the errors.

    The two most common one I’ve run into are:
    Subject could be blank (Meaning your subject field is not required), fix by either making it required, or just removing it altogether. People don’t need to enter a subject.

    The more important one is the “From” address – if you send from an email that’s not the same as the domain of the website, some servers will reject the message, as your server might not have the correct credentials.

    If you’re using something like Mailgun, though, you can be sending through a different domain, and it shouldn’t actually matter.

    Thanks majorredbeard

    Unfortunately I tried all those fixes with no luck (and not using Mailgun). At this point I dropped Form 7 and installed Contact Form by BestWebSoft.
    Worked like a charm.

    Thanks for the help!
