Contact form

  • Unknown's avatar

    I have added a contact form to my wordpress site and made sure that under the settings for it I have the Email I want the form to be emailed to saved. I went to the website from my phone and tried to do a test run of the contact form 2 different times and not once did it send an email to me. Why is this?

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Hey there,

    Did you create and embed the form following these directions?

    https://en.support.wordpress.com/forms/contact-form/

    Double check that you have entered the address without error into the Settings section of the Contact Form set up. If set up looks as though everything is in order it is very likely that form has in fact sent the input information to the given address, so perhaps it may just take a little while to send through or it may have ended up in your junk folder.

    If neither of these seem to be the case, pop back in a let us know and we can take a deeper look into this and maybe then tag modlook to have staff look on their end.

    For more information about how to get the attention of staff please review the following documentation: https://en.support.wordpress.com/getting-help-in-the-forums/#how-do-i-get-a-moderatorstaff-reply-for-my-question

    Hope this helps,

    Cheers

    I did create it exactly that way, I’m also using the same email address that I’m getting updates from WordPress with. However the contact form is not submitting form to the email. Unless there is some 24 hour lag time l.. it isn’t working. There are also no junk emails to be found.

    Fair enough, I will tag modlook now and staff will be in touch shortly to look into this for you.

    Hoping this gets resolved soon.

    Cheers

  • Hi there,

    I see that all the messages from the contact form went through to your email, therefore I suggest checking your spam folder or if they’re caught by a filter.

    If this still doesn’t work or you have more questions, just let me know and I’ll be happy to help!

    What email does it say it’s going to because I haven’t received either one of the contact form test run emAils, and I’ve checked my spam and it’s empty. I literally just created this email
    (email visible only to moderators and staff)

    For This website a few days ago.

    I am getting all of your emails

    I believe the issue is that when I enter a form submission from my phone it won’t send me an email, but when I did it from my computer it worked.

    I had my wife submit from her computer and it also worked, and her phone and it worked.

    I have not received any of the ones I’ve done from my phone.

    Hi growlergamesnc,

    What email does it say it’s going to because I haven’t received either one of the contact form test run emAils

    Contact form submissions are sent to the email address on your Account Settings page unless a different email address is specified on the form itself:

    I believe the issue is that when I enter a form submission from my phone it won’t send me an email

    Our logs show emails have been successfully sent for three messages:

    Have you submitted more than the three messages listed there?
