    Hi guys,

    I’m wondering if you can help me please.

    I have installed Contact Form 7 and it seems to be sending fine apart from the content of the message. The email is being received but I’m only getting the ‘From email’ and ‘Subject Line’.

    The message of the email is missing.

    I am getting this landing in my inbox:

    From: Matt <[email protected]>
    Subject: Test Form 1

    Message Body:
    [your-message]

    The form setting look like this:

    From: [your-name] <[your-email]>
    Subject: [your-subject]

    Message Body:
    [your-message]

    Can somebody please tell me what I need to add to receive the message in the email also?

    Many thanks

    Matt

    Thanks but this is still unclear to me.

    The form is capturing the data as I can see this using the Contact Form DB plugin but it is not sending the message body text.

    On the Mail tab in the plugin admin I have this:

    From: [your-name] <[your-email]>
    Subject: [your-subject]

    Message Body:
    [textarea rows:12 your-message]

    Shouldn’t that send the entire message? Well, 12 rows of it?

    Thanks

    Matt

    That mail-tag for the message body is invalid. You can only use syntax like textarea rows:12 in the form-tag.In the FORM use:

    [your-message]

    Hi Barnez,

    I have tried using the tag [your-message] in the mail tab but I get nothing in my email except the tag. I do not get the actual message that was entered into the text field.

    Thanks

    Matt

    what form-tag are you using in the Your Message part of the Form tab?

    This is my form code:

    <div class=”text-center”>
    <div class=”col-md-6″>
    <p>Your Name (required)
    [text* your-name] </p>

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

    <p>Your Phone (required)
    [text text-33] </p>

    <p>Subject
    [text your-subject] </p>
    </div>
    <div class=”col-md-6″>
    <p>Your Message
    [textarea your-message] </p>
    </p>
    </div>
    <div class=”col-md-12″>

    <p>[submit class:btn class:btn-lg “Send”]</p>
    </div>
    </div>

    Strange. Try creating a different message body form-tag and mail-tag. e.g.

    FORM:
    [textarea message-267]

    MAIL:
    Message body:
    [message-267]

    Barnez,

    That works a treat. Thanks very much. You’ve got me out of a pickle.

    Best regards

    Matt
