Create a contact form

Hi @ivanisevic82,

Our plugin works by hooking into the wp_mail function built into WordPress to deliver email. As long as your form is sending email through wp_mail, our plugin should pick it up. For more information on the wp_mail function, check out this page on the WordPress Developer Resources site.

Additionally, please know that most form plugins already send through wp_mail by default. So if you don’t want to go through the time it will take to build your own form and speed things up, you can try a form plugin such as WPForms. It sends all form submission emails through wp_mail so it will automatically send through WP Mail SMTP.

I hope that helps!

Have a gret day! ??

Dear,
first of all thank you for the feedback.

I finally got the plugin to work with my html/css contact form.

In fact, to have greater flexibility and customization possibilities, I preferred not to use plugins for creating the contact form.

To get it to work for sending emails I had to add this code to my function.php file:

function send_contact_email() {

    if (isset($_POST['nome']) && isset($_POST['cognome']) && isset($_POST['email']) && isset($_POST['telefono']) && isset($_POST['messaggio'])) {

        $nome = sanitize_text_field($_POST['nome']);

        $cognome = sanitize_text_field($_POST['cognome']);

        $email = sanitize_email($_POST['email']);

        $telefono = sanitize_text_field($_POST['telefono']);

        $messaggio = sanitize_textarea_field($_POST['messaggio']);

        $to = ‘[email protected]’; 

        $subject = 'Nuova richiesta di contatto'; 

        $message = "Hai ricevuto una nuova richiesta di contatto:\n\n";

        $message .= "Nome: $nome\n";

        $message .= "Cognome: $cognome\n";

        $message .= "Email: $email\n";

        $message .= "Telefono: $telefono\n";

        $message .= "Messaggio:\n$messaggio\n";

        $headers = array(

            'From: ' . $nome . ' ' . $cognome . ' <' . $email . '>',

            'Reply-To: ' . $email

        );

        $result = wp_mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

        if ($result) {

    $confirmation_message = 'Grazie per averci contattato! Ti risponderemo al più presto.';

} else {

            echo 'Si è verificato un errore durante l\'invio della richiesta di contatto. Per favore, riprova più tardi.';

        }

    }

}

add_action('template_redirect', 'send_contact_email');

Only one problem remains. As you can see the php code expects two different messages, depending on whether the submission was successful or not.

I used two different ways to test both.

The one with simple “echo ” is not good, as it inserts the response in the wrong place of the web page.

Instead with the “$confirmation_message ” I should be able to insert the message anywhere in my html.

So I try by entering this code:

<?php
    if (isset($_SESSION['confirmation_message'])) {
        echo '<div class="confirmation-message">' . $_SESSION['confirmation_message'] . '</div>';
        unset($_SESSION['confirmation_message']); // Rimuove il messaggio di conferma dalla variabile di sessione dopo averlo mostrato
    }
    ?>

Unfortunately it doesn’t work.
Do you have any fix or solution to suggest?

Thanks again!

Hi @ivanisevic82,

I’m glad to hear you were able to get your form working. Regarding the coding question, while custom code is beyond the scope of our support, personally when I need to find out if code of mine is being executed, I’ll drop an exit in the mix to see where things are failing. If the page stops, I know the code made it that far. If it doesn’t, I know the problem has to be before that point and it gives me an area to focus on when troubleshooting.

I hope that helps!

Have a great day!
