Ah, I see.

Re: the upgrade, I tried to upgrade on my own, and clearly hit the limits of my SQL know how… couldn’t get the install to work.

Kwegner, the permissions should be set to 666, not 777. Otherwise the plugin won’t be able to overwrite the file.

Okay, for all the folks out there who are using Yahoo hosting, I finally found the answer.

As it turns out, Yahoo will only let specified users from your domain send email through a PHP script. So, if you use the standard contact form that the plugin provides, the “from” field defaults to whatever the user put in, and that won’t work. If you replace it with your email, the script works fine.

Here’s the Yahoo documentation:

Hope this helps all those frustrated Yahoo users out there!

I’m sorry, I should have been clearer – I was actually using the shortcode, I just figured it would be helpful to see the actual code I was putting into Contact Form.

As it turns out, the problem wasn’t with my coding – it’s with my hosting company. Yahoo won’t let non-domain emails send things through a PHP script, so in order for Contact form to work, I think (ha!) I just need to put my email in the “from” field.

If anyone is using Yahoo hosting, the answer is here:

I’m using Yahoo hosting, too, and I’m also stuck.

Well, I took the form out of the tables, and it didn’t fix anything… so I’m officially stumped. Any thoughts?

Thanks ZGani, that was it! I have no idea why they reverted to default settings – annoying.

I just realized all my other WordPress links have broken, too: comment pages, archive links, category pages, you name it. I have no clue what’s happened!

This was exactly what I was searching for – thank you!
