    hi there,

    I just upgraded all my plugins. Noticed that emails not arriving from contact form plugin. I see there is a validation error but it does not say where. I have turned on WP debug but see no debug/trace/logs anywhere. Could somewhere tell me how to debug this stuff to see what needs tweaking.

    I am a software engineer. My serious question for the plugin developer is ‘why can’t you add enough information’ to debug this stuff. Disappointing ..

    I added Flamengo as a fallback to not lose any site leads.

  • Email not arriving has been the problem for me for about 3 years now. Mainly, it was pointed out that my hosting company’s fault. However, just a month ago I started to receive again. I have not changed anything.

    So, while I was not receiving any email I added this to the “Additional Headers” in Mail section.

    BCC: myemail@addy{dot}com

    At least this way, I was able to receive it. Secondly, I used Contact Form DB as my backup just in case.

    And, for that error faults, you will need to go though every tab (Form, Mail, Message and Additional Settings) to see where the error is indicated. Mine is usually when I set the field in the subject line or in the From address field as “[your-email] <[your-emil>” and it points out that “This email address does not belong to the same domain as the site.”

    I ignore it and it sends just fine for me.
