    I have used forms on my site for some time now. Recently the emails I receive seem to be the actual html and not a formatted email. Here is an example of an email I received when a user submitted a completed form on my site.
    I prefer/need the email that people receive is formatted/readable.
    How can I get that back working? Thank you for your help and great plugin!!

  • Hi there, by what version of VFB are you currently using? Have you tried deactivating all plugins but VFB and giving it a test – just to cover all the bases? This is strange behavior as with the free version there is not a method to manually edit the email design that the admin gets.

    Also, does this occur if you create a brand new form and test it?

    Thanks!

    Hi Shane,

    I am using VFB version Version 2.9.2 on WordPress 4.7.4.
    It does occur on new forms as well as existing forms.

    Hi there Tom, do you have another email that you could use to sent a test submission to, an email that would be different than your current email, maybe a Gmail? I am thinking there is something with the Email service.

    Thanks!

    Hi Shane,

    I tried what you are suggesting and was getting the same result.
    This problem has been resolved now though. I started looking at plugins I had and “Page Columnist” was active but I was no longer using.
    When I deactivated this plug in (“Page Columnist”), my emails started looking as expected again.

    Page Columnist has not been updated/tested for the WordPress 4.7.4 and this problem started happening after I updated WordPress.

    Thank you,
    Tom
