Yordan:

I have the correct email address in the TO spot.

When I go to the page and view it, the contact form is there and looks good.

I type in all the info and hit send and I get this error:

“There was an error trying to send your message. Please try again later.”

Have I missed something??

This site is on an AWS server. We have not made it live yet but I can see the pages like they were live.
Why is the contact form not functioning?

Bob

Yordan:

That is what I was looking for thanks.

Now just to confirm a few things. In the Mail tab, all I have to do is put in the email address I want the contact form sent to into the “To” field correct?

Once I do that and save it, will I be able to test it without the site/page being live?

Thanks

Bob

Yordan:

Figured out how to put it in. Just need to figure out how to send the emails to where we want them to go.

Bob

Yordan:

Can you show me where to go to put the Contact 7 form on my contact page and how to set it up to have it send the emails to an email address or addresses of my choice?

Like I said I am very, very new to WP and learning every day.

Bob

Yordan:

Thanks for the reply. I saw your test in the “Feed Back” area of WP.

I will have to see what it is and change it.

Thanks

Bob

Thanks for the reply. The group that I am doing this for got signed up through AWS.
Was finally able to figure out how to get into the system. Been poking around in it for 2 days now.

I see that there are different themes and stuff like that available.
I have selected one, but am having difficulty changing things in it.

I have done web pages before using GoDaddy and their web software.

I understand that WordPress is not like that as far as I can see, but I am willing to learn.

I need a tutorial on how to create web pages in WordPress basically. We don’t need anything fancy. No Blogs at the moment.

Thanks for your help.

Bob

I see no menus that are showing me to do that.

I have a screen shot to send but can’t attach it here.

Bob

OK, you are thinking way above where I am at with WordPress and Local.

I know nothing about both. I want to try out WordPress before I decide if it is what I want to use to create my sites.

Where do I go to launch wordpress so I can play with it and see how it works?

Step by step, keystroke by keystroke. Until I can see exactly how it is done, It is like trying to look through mud to me.

OK, Thanks.

Now I have local loaded on my computer.

How do I get WordPress to function now?

Like I said in the previous message, I need every step in this process.
