[Plugin: Grunion Contact Form] Not receiving messages.

Did this get resolved? I tried this plug in today and received test messages on my website, but I have not received the messages in my Outlook inbox.

Grunion runs the submitted forms via akismet and doesn’t send the emails if it is marked as spam. The version of Grunion, 2.0, has a feedbacks section in wp-admin where you can review those spam comments.

I only receive emails if I choose a “TO” address that is not the same as my WP login. I am not using Akismet and don’t have it installed.

I am not getting any mailings sent out to me with this plugin either. My Contact form shortcode is this:

[contact-form subject="Jon Witts Design Contact" to="[email protected]"] [contact-field label="Your Email Address" type="email" required="true" /] [contact-field label="Full Name" type="text" required="true" /] [contact-field label="Telephone number" type="text" required="true" /] [contact-field label="Query Details" type="textarea" required="true" /] [/contact-form]

I am getting the messages in the feedback section and Akismet is not marking them as spam, but they never make it to my email account. I have tried multiple to addresses to no avail.

I am using version 2.2 of the plugin

Couple of things to check:

– the web server error logs, make sure something didn’t die when it tried to send the email
– your mail server logs, see if it rejected the emails prematurely

Hi Joseph,

Thanks for getting back so quickly.

There is nothing in the error logs and I have tried to send it to three different email address all on different domains and it makes it through to none of them. I am afraid I do not have access to the mail server logs; only the web server logs…

With WP_DEBUG on I get the following notices as I try my form:

On loading the page with the form in:

Notice: Undefined index: action in /htdocs/blog/wp-content/plugins/grunion-contact-form/grunion-contact-form.php on line 26

Then on sending the message I get the following:

Notice: Undefined index: action in /htdocs/blog/wp-content/plugins/grunion-contact-form/grunion-contact-form.php on line 26

Notice: Undefined variable: comment_author in /htdocs/blog/wp-content/plugins/grunion-contact-form/grunion-contact-form.php on line 386

Notice: Undefined variable: comment_author_url in /htdocs/blog/wp-content/plugins/grunion-contact-form/grunion-contact-form.php on line 390

Notice: Undefined variable: comment_author_url_label in /htdocs/blog/wp-content/plugins/grunion-contact-form/grunion-contact-form.php on line 440

As they are all notices, not errors or warnings, I doubt they are stopping things going. I am going to check there is nothing strange with my webserver config, but the wordpress install I am adding this plugin to can email fine, and I have a contact form on a static php page on this server just using the mail function which operates just fine…

My web hosting company have this to say about using php mail scripts… Not sure if I need t tweak yours to meet their requirements…

PHP

Use the PHP mail function and set the ‘mail from’ value using the following code – replacing [email protected] with the appropriate email address.

$email_from = “[email protected]”;
ini_set(“sendmail_from”, “$email_from”);

You need to add a fifth “-f” parameter to the sendmail function. This will set the name of the from address.

mail($email_to, $email_subject, $email_message, $headers, ‘-f’.$email_from);
