Contact Form not working

  • I’ve read the other posts regarding the contact form not working. I believe I’ve done what is suggested, i.e. I’ve filled in the mailTo and mailFrom with an email address of the form [email protected]. I used the same entry for both.

    When I try to use it I get “Thanks for contacting us!” message but no mail is delivered to the specified account.

    I also notice that the whole site flashes to the top and then scrolls back down to the contact form when the submit button is pressed. That’s a bit distracting but I could live with that if need be, but any suggestions on how to get rid of that flash and scroll would be appreciated.

    I’m pretty sure my problem is that my hosting service does not have php mail configured. So I’m attempting to use mailgun. I’ve installed the plugin for it and am going through the process of setting up my DNS and mailgun account. Will see if this works once all the DNS stuff settles into place…

    I’m finally able to report a success here, unfortunately I can’t really explain what the root problem is/was, but how I worked around this was to try many (about 1/2 dozen) different mail plugins before finally having one work. The one that worked for me was Easy WP SMTP. I don’t want to list the ones that didn’t work because it may very well be that I was doing something wrong with them myself, so I don’t want to impugn them.

    It’s not clear if anyone actually reads and responds to posts in this forum, but if you do and have any additional light to shed on this, please do post here. I am new to WordPress so anxious to learn the types of things that can go wrong and how to resolve them.
