    I have created a custom plugin within WordPress to POST contact form 7 data to an external API when a client submits their info, I followed a tutorial on YouTube step by step, but nothing is being posted to the API URL. I am not sure if it’s because the coding for contact form 7 is outdated now or if I am possibly using wp_remote_post incorrectly.

  • The hook is OK, but it is only executed when sending e-mails is activated on the form.

    I would recommend that you try to find out what the problem is by debugging. Add test outputs like

    echo "aaaa";exit;

    in different places (vary the letters). Also let var_dump() output what is in $form_id and in $response. This way you should be able to find out what’s wrong.
