Contact form not sending email

    Hi, sorry if this has been addressed but couldn’t find anything through search.

    I created a front end contact form via this plugin. Have an action set up to email me when a form is submitted. I’ve tested the form and I get the success confirmation message, but no email ever shows up in my inbox. Checked my spam folder as well.

    Other site emails like password reset request are sending fine.

    Is there anything I could be missing or doing wrong? I can’t figure it out. Thank you!

    Fixed! When setting up the email action, I didn’t fill out the From field correctly. I had: “Name of Site” with no email address. Changed it to “Name of Site <[email protected]>” and now emails send fine.

    Maybe a future version of this plugin could validate that field so that newbs like me don’t run into this problem?

    Hello,

    I’m glad you found the problem by yourself. I left it “not required” because it is possible de modify wp_mail() sender via some hooks, so I left it optional.

    But I think you’re right, I’ll make it required, hooks will bypass it anyway!
