Failed to send your message

Mee too, the same error message after updating… I just have launched my customer website right now, and his contact page is broken… please fix this asap or give us a solution.

Thanks
Kind regards

No one? please help!!!

The plugin is working for me on many different websites and several different servers. Any issue you have is almost certainly due to something on your local WP install.

You will probably be mistaken if you focus on this happening since the last update – it’s most likely just a coincidence.

See Contact Form 7 Email Issues. Most people that work through this information appear to be able to resolve their email sending & receiving issues.

I did a test before upgrade to 4.01 and it was working just fine.

After upgrade mot anymore

Strange – no it works again.

Hi Buzztone,

As TRDK29 says, I did tests before the update, and it worked fine.

And unfortunately in my case is still not working. I know how to use this plug-in, is not like is super complicated, but for some reason it is not working after the update.

I kindly ask your help as i launched my customer′s website last week and his contact page isn’t working.

Thanks
Kind regards

Hi all,

I’ve got the same problem. My contact form no longer works. I can’t successfully send messages even if I try to change the email address.

Not sure what to do.
If anyone has a solution would really appreciate the help.

Kind regards

Im trying out everything i can think off, but it is not working. Not even the default email (Add new –> save –> post)

I fixed my issue.

This might help you especially if your email address is a gmail account like mine.
I went into plugins in my wordpress dashboard.
clicked on add new
searched for ‘Configure SMTP’
Downloaded the first option which was ‘Configure SMTP’ by Scott Reilly.
Activated it
Opened the plugin settings to edit – left everything as default (so didn’t type anything in)
Clicked onto ‘Sent test email’

And it all some how configured and linked my gmail to the contact form…

Hope this might help somebody.

Hi Kellye27,

Just as you suggested i ended up using another SMTP configurer. In my case i used WP Mail SMTP and it worked like a charm.

Once you install it go to Settings –> emails –> and fill the details in that page (they are just few of them, nothing really complicated) and then you can save and send a test.

This is definetely a bug on contact form 7, please solve this. Or even better, why not putting the smtp configurations available to use on the default plugin.

Thanks
Kind regards

Making SMTP the default email sending solution would be a major retrograde step for the majority of CF7 users on suitable WordPress hosts IMHO.

Buzztone, hope you don’t get this wrong, but it seems to me that “Thanks”, “great”, “sorry” are words that you don’t use that often, and you should try to start using them specially if you are going to give customer support.

If i say that this is definitely a bug is because i was using it before the update, and I don’t mind if 90 or 99 percent of the people has no problem using this plug-in (and I know is the best and the most famous one in the whole wordpress, for contact forms). If you have ever worked as a developer, you must know that this things happen, no matter that 99% of the people can make it work, that doesn’t mean that the other 1% is doing something wrong.. some of them might.. and some other might be experiencing some bug in the integration between your software and the platform.

“Making SMTP the default email sending solution would be a major retrograde step for the majority of CF7 users on suitable WordPress hosts IMHO.”

Is it really that your conclusion about my suggestion? well let me throw some light on this matter. What about, leaving the contact form 7 as always and just in case someone needs it (my case and some others), or just want to use their own SMTP, adding an advanced settings tab somewhere in the panel. Retrograde is what you are dong by assuming all the users are dummy′s and you don’t need to listen to their questions, requirements and suggestions.

@andresmolina – As I am not the plugin author and just a regular CF7 user helping out in this forum, I don’t feel that using words like “Thanks”, “great”, “sorry” are appropriate.

In this case I wanted to make sure that others reading this post saw an alternative view to your conclusions.??
