Contact Form 7 not working

PK4PresE:

Did you not read my post? Read it several times.

I am in the same position as you. Now everything works, all files come in. Make sure you add Contact Form to DB Extension, that way you’ll never miss another form submission, and any file attachments, again.

Lastly, and something I did not mention, make sure you add the file formats you want to support through the form. By default it doesn’t support much. I added every conceivable file format in there. You do this by adding file extensions (e.g., “docx”) to your Form code in Contact Form 7 Settings. Check Contact Form 7 documentation on how to properly insert file formats.

Thanks.

Thanks for your input. Somehow I missed your post. The main problem is that the plug-in works great every time I’ve tested it – from multiple computers, with various files (and I already created a specific list of accepted files). The problem is that we’ve had numerous customers who have sent stuff that doesn’t ever arrive, not just delayed as you have experienced. So even if I implement all the changes that you’ve suggested, I’m not confident enough in the integration of this plug-in with WordPress and my Web-host to chance disappointing any more customers.

Anyways, once again thanks for taking the time to help me.

I tried all the solutions listed in the threads concerning this, except the one involving using a GoDaddy email address associated with the account as my client hasn’t set one up yet. None worked. Set up is the same as on my other site hosted with Godaddy that is working, so I called their tech support to ask for input.

The solution that seems to be working for now is to do the following:

Sign into GoDaddy. Go to Web Hosting > Lauch > Content > Form Mail > change address to match that used as destination for the form mail in your WordPress installation.

The test emails came through in a few minutes. Hopefully this solution will stick and will help someone out.

Spoke too soon. I can get test emails from miscellaneous domains but like others, never receive those form gmail, yahoo, or hotmail.

I see there are good things being said in this thread about 1&1 hosting- any other opinions on them? I hate to suggest my client to move, but she needs this functionality in her site, and if we can’t get it here…

Still find it odd it works fine on my other sites with the same hosting.

Please read my post. It is the answer. honestly I have had no issues with it. read my exact instructions and you will be able to get e-mail from any e-mial address be it gmail, hotmail or yahoo. With little to no time delay.

I looked at it but it looks extremely complicated for what I need to do, which is why I didn’t use it. Not sure my client could handle it.

Instead I sent up the fields for the from email address to be dropped in as two separate fields with (at) between them rather then the @ symbol. Gets anything through with minimal workaround.

I did try it out- client hated it and would rather use my (at) instead of @ workaround. Emails also came in after a 3 hours delay vs a 20 minute delay with the CF7.

Hey guys…
I’ve been reading this post and many others for hours now as I have experienced same problem with CF7 and Simple Modal Contact Form on WordPress with GoDaddy host. (Email sent successfully message comes up – no email received)

At first I thought I wasn’t receiving ANY mails at all…. until I saw a reply regarding a specific problem with Gmail/Yahoo/Hotmail emails.

But then I got lost a bit here with all the replies. I couldn’t figure out whether people had trouble receiving ANY mail using Gmail/Yahoo/Hotmail as their admin mail (meaning the mail associated with the plugin). Or was the problem with receiving mails when a user submitted a Gmail/Yahoo/Hotmail mail into the plugin form, regardless of the admin mail account.

My problem is the second one.

In the CF7 settings I’ve set up a GoDaddy webmail account from one of my sites (the site on which I try to use the form is dennisgal.INFO and the mail I’m using in the settings is [email protected] – so technically it’s a different domain mail, although both hosted on GoDaddy)
And I set up a copy to be sent to my Gmail account.

Im usually testing forms using “[email protected]” mail – that’s why I was sure im not receiving mail at all… but after reading this post I tried testing with [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] (which is a local webmail service like gmail or yahoo)

I have received all mails into both associated mailboxes except the @gmail.com, @hotmail.com and @yahoo.com test forms…

As far as I remember I used to receive forms submitted with a gmail adress before… not sure when it stopped working, but Im sure I haven’t done anything differently than I’ve done before.

Has anyone had the same issue before? Any idea of a solution?
I have no power switching host company at this point…

I am asking for a solution for this, regardless of so many solutions I’ve seen here (great contribution by people on this post by the way), because most solutions here were regarding delay problems, not receiving mails at all problems and not receiving mail into specific mail account. And in my case I seem to get emails instantly, regardless of what mail im sending it to… just not from gmail/yahoo/hotmail users…

They have released Contact Form 7 2.4.4. It includes translation updates and some small fixes. Anyone know if this fixed the issue on no recieving emails on godaddy hosting?

Change Log
– Translation for Sinhala has been created by Nitin Aggarwal.
– Translations for German (Ivan Graf), Russian (Denis Voituk)
– Simplified Chinese (Keefe Dunn), Polish (RafalDesign), have been updated.
– Fixed a bug causes wrong [_url] special mail tag output.

It now works for me on my GoDaddy server. Thanks.

Upgraded both CF7 and Core to 3.1… Still doesn’t work…

Tried a variety of suggestions listed in this incredible thread…no dice. Went the insane route and called GoDaddy…interesting conversation to say the least. Definitely their recent security/authentication changes causing this…I followed the advice of the rep on changes, but only his messages were coming through in any reasonable fashion…about 20 minutes on average. None of my messages have yet been received…some sent 4 hours ago. So, to review…

WP 3.1
CF7 2.4.4

— Matching recipient email domain with site domain did not work
— Using a non-Hotmail, non-Yahoo, non-Gmail address did not work.
— Adding the recipient email address to GoDaddy’s Form Mailer setting
did not work
— However, messages sent via the form by a GoDaddy employee on GoDaddy’s server did work.
— Headache level: MASSIVE

Shazen said put webformailer.php in the classes.php file but I’m not sure quite where to put it. This is what I see:

$url = apply_filters( ‘wpcf7_form_action_url’, $url );
$enctype = apply_filters( ‘wpcf7_form_enctype’, ” );
$class = apply_filters( ‘wpcf7_form_class_attr’, ‘wpcf7-form’ );

$form .= ‘<form action=”‘ . esc_url_raw( $url ) . ‘” method=”post”‘

I’ve got several GoDaddy sites and this is the first one where the form isn’t working. I have my own form using <form action=”/webformmailer.php” method=”post”>
<div style=”display: none;”><input type=”hidden” name=”form_format” value=”html”/> which is working but since I’m doing this for a client, I liked that they could easily edit the Contact 7 Form themselves.

I’ve also noticed very slow load times on several of the sites on GoDaddy. Anyone else notice that?

@ In House Web, can you please share all of the exact options you had checked off in Fast Secure form that worked for you, please? Thank you.

This is driving me a little crazy, NONE of my test emails worked.

The site is hosted on godaddy, but the email is not tied to their hosting/mail server as we use google apps/gmail with a .ca domain, so the not accepting gmail/yahoo/hotmail etc. should not be an issue – right? Godaddy csr I spoke to could not offer any assistance as the plug ins are 3rd party.
