Spectra Form Element Doesn’t Allow Custom From Name or From Email
-
I had to use WP Mail SMTP free version to allow to connect to my servers SMTP and to also change the sender email and From Name. Otherwise, the Spectra block just shows the From Name as “Email” and doesn’t allow you to add a from email. Not sure why, but this seems like default behavior that is missing. I was actively posting my issue to this post and your team closed the post to new replies and had hidden my posts? Why? It’s not resolved yet. The whole point of using a contact form block it’s assumed that we should be able to connect to our own SMTP OR at the very least show a custom FROM NAME and DEFAULT EMAIL ADDRESS for the FROM field. These are important for professionalism. I’d love to be able to eliminate the need to use an extra plugin just to use my own SMTP server at my clients hosting provider. I understand that using PHPmail to send mail is unreliable and if I use Spectra FORM BLOCK in it’s default state, all messages will go directly to spam or be undeliverable. I tested it multiple times. I love the ability to customize the look and feel of the Spectra Form block but it technically unusable in it’s current technological state. It will look pretty but unless you use WP Mail SMTP it will not deliver emails and it will NOT show a custom From name nor will it show a custom From Email.
