contact form not recieving emails

  • Unknown's avatar

    Hey, I am a begginer with wordpress and I am currently working on my first site. Thing is, I added contact form which is included in wordpress since I can’t afford any plans but I am not recieving any messages. I don’t know if there is some point in time where I’ll recieve those messages all at once?
    Thanks

    WP.com: Yes
    Correct account: Yes

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to moderators and staff)

  • Hi there,

    I see four submissions in your site’s contact form. You can see them by going to Feeback > Form Responses.

    Also, I noticed that your front page is not published (draft). So if you want people to be able to view it and leave messages, you’ll have to publish it.

    If you have any other questions, just let me know, and I’ll be happy to help.

    oh yeah, thank you, I can see it now. Is there any way how I can send it directly to someones inbox?
    Site is not published since it is in development ;) thanks for reminding though
    And thank you for your advice

  • Hi there,

    To clarify, because your site is not yet launched, but is set to “Coming soon” so that it is not visible to the public. This is what anyone (other than you) sees if they try to visit your site

    With this in mind you do not need to save your pages as “drafts” but can instead “publish” them, since the site itself is not public they will not show for visitors.

    Currently since the pages are draft status you are not able to set them as the homepage, or create a site menu, etc.

    Is there any way how I can send it directly to someones inbox?

    Because your site is private, there is not really a way so share it with others. One option you can consider is to invite anyone who needs to see it now as a “viewer” here, which will allow them see the site homepage: https://wordpress.com/support/user-roles/#adding-and-removing-viewers-on-a-private-site

    Hope that helps. Please let us know if you have any more questions.
