Classic "Failed to send your message"

  • Alright guys,

    First of all I would like to apologize in advance for asking a question that has been asked many many times, however I’ve tried almost everything and it still does not work.

    On my front page of my website I have a email address collection form that gives users a free item for giving up their email. In the end, I want it to be connected directly to constant contact and add their email to the desired list. For now I have disabled all of that right now in hopes of getting any kind of email to send.

    I am using WP-Mail-SMTP and am on Bluehost. My website sends emails from within that test form and from other parts of the website including woocommerce. CF7 however will not budge. When I go into network it seems like the POST function is working and the headers seem ok but I still get the dreaded red box. The from email address I am using is the same one as on WP-Mail-SMTP and I feel like I am missing something really simple.

    My website form is:

    Thanks,

    Phil

  • In my site form(using by contact form7) was send and store in data base but error message shown(Failed to send your message. Please try later or contact the administrator by another method.) while clicking in the send

    @chmaltsp – I tested your CF7 form “Subscribe to our newsletter and receive a free introductory course today!”

    You may not be able to use the collected email address as the From: email address in CF7 on Bluehost.

    See https://buzztone.com.au/contact-form-7-email-issues/#properaddress

    See also Contact Form 7 Email Issues. There is a link at the bottom of the page to a comprehensive and detailed article which covers many issues. Most people that work through this information appear to be able to resolve their email sending & receiving issues.

    Thanks for replying buzztone!

    I have checked my From: Email address and even created a new one called [email protected], the email works and I can send emails from WP-SMTP-Mail with it. I went through all of Contact Form 7 email issues article and have come to the conclusion that its not a theme or plugin conflict, because it does the same thing no matter what. I think I’m going to contact bluehost and see if they can point me to some answers. I even completely deleted the plugin and re installed it and still had the same issue. What gives?

    Update:

    Spent some more time with bluehost and double checked that my SMTP server is in fact working. Still looking for answers.

    I’m having the same issue it seems 1 of 10 send correctly. Additionally I checked all my settings on WP_MAil_SMTP and those are fine.

    @alex.justesen – As per the Forum Welcome, please post your own topic.

    Posting in an existing topic and taking over the original posters question is generally considered inappropriate.

    Added to which, your problem – despite any similarity in symptoms – is likely to be completely different.
