  • Is your form configured to use the WP-Mail-SMTP plugin function?

    This is copied from the FAQ for the plugin:

    My plugin still sends mail via the mail() function

    If other plugins you’re using are not coded to use the wp_mail() function but instead call PHP’s mail() function directly, they will bypass the settings of this plugin. Normally, you can edit the other plugins and simply replace the mail( calls with wp_mail( (just adding wp_ in front) and this will work. I’ve tested this on a couple of plugins and it works, but it may not work on all plugins.

    I’m using contact 7 and WP-Mail-SMTP on another site and it works. I even tried all the same things on this site too and I can’t get it to work. However, with this site that I’m working on I’m using godaddy. so.. I don’t know if that has anything to do with it or what.

    ive used these settings: Use these settings: Mailer: SMTP SMTP Host: smtp.gmail.com SMTP Port: 465 Encryption: SSL Authentication: Yes Username: your full gmail address Password: your mail password

    But when I submit the messsage I get an error message saying

    “Error when sending the message. Try to resend later or contact your administrator in another way”

    Try it with an @yourdomain.com email address instead of gmail and see if that makes a difference…
