After Latest Upgrade, Configuration Errors Appear

See How to Resolve Configuration Errors

Hi Takayuki-san,
Thanks for that link. I saw this troubleshooting resource previously, but find it strange that the errors are only appearing after the recent plugin upgrade. Is it only w/ the recent plugin upgrade that the form validator now appears? I don’t recall seeing it previously.

My errors are:

Sender email address does not belong to the site domain.
There is a possible empty field.

On the 1st error, I also have configured my DNS to recognize email outgoing from Mailchimp and Outlook servers as belonging to my domain, so was wondering if the error is due to the multiple servers my domain references.

The 2nd error refers to my Subject Line, but as this is a required field, the user must input something into this field so I’m not sure why it’s still flagged as being a possible empty field.

If you need further help, please tell us about your form content in the Form tab panel and mail settings in the Mail tab panel.

Hi Takayuki-san,
I realized that I had a mismatch in field names and have fixed that now. Thanks.

I do though have the outstanding errors as mentioned and have included the following code from my Form tab, as well as a copy and paste of my Mail tab below that.

The strange thing is my subject line of the contact us form is being captured, so I’m not sure why I’m still getting the error of it being possibly empty.

Regarding the email address not belonging to the domain error, I’m having some DNS issues I think as my general email deliverability hasn’t been great. I’m also getting popup error boxes in my laptop’s Outlook just in the past few days rejecting the password that I’ve always had for 1 of my email addresses (from the same domain as what I’ve configured to be notified of Contact Us form submissions).

Hi Takayuki,
Thanks for that link.

I had already made my subject field of the form a required field, so I’m not sure why the form still thinks the field may be empty.

The email address not belonging to the domain error message doesn’t seem to be an issue for now, as all of the recent form submission tests have gone through to my intended email address.

Just wanted to follow-up for anyone seeing the same error I got on the email address not belonging to the domain, here’s an explanation and a workaround:

For what reason do you believe you have made the subject field required?

You’re right! I didn’t realize I didn’t add the asterix to make the subject field required. The error’s disappeared now! Tks again!
