Thank you for that clear response.

I studied all there is about installing Contact Form 7 onto my website of course activating it, and including following this WP Learning Lab tutorial about doing the various settings: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wy70WGCjMY4

It shows using a From email address that, in the example, doesn’t seem to bear any resemblance to a website page domain, but more importantly, no restrictions are stated about the email domain and the page domain having to be the same. So I did the various settings for the default form. Easy stuff. Please note that my website page on which the form is posted is a subdomain page (a single page subdomain website, FWIW). The presenter on the email said that’s all there is to it. And saved it all. Was he wrong not to mention that domain matching restriction?

Then I tried it on my website. But I got no indication email was sent, plus
“invalid email” was presented just above the form.

Please advise what my next step should be. What am I missing?

So be it about using an email address with domain same as site domain.

I created a new one having the domain same as the website (sbrhorseback.visipress.net) and see its creation confirmed. (It’s for the owner of the website at this subdomain, like this [her-first-name]@sbrhorseback.visipress.net … and the page exists of course.

But I get “Invalid email” when testing the form. Being a “From” address in the form — meaning submitted from someone in the public — any valid domain should be allowed, so that can’t be the problem. In my test, I used the email address corresponding to me Bluehost account. Also tried a @me.com address. And also tried an email address provided to me by my school.
