Emails coming from the form created by the plugin do not arrive

    Hello, how are you?

    I have 4 forms on my website. Filling in the form fields goes fine and the plugin responds that it has been sent. However, these forms from the website and the Forminator plugin are not arriving in my email inbox.

    I don’t see the problem being with my website hosting. I normally receive emails in my inbox from Outlook, Microsoft Outlook, among many others.

    But the emails from the website forms never arrive, not even in the spam or junk folder.

    Can someone please help me? Probably some plugin configuration.

    Hello @hamilton200

    Hope you’re doing well today! Thank you for reaching out to us.

    The Forminator Plugin uses the WordPress default wp_mail() function to send emails from your site based on the email notifications you’ve set up.

    To test this further if the wp_mail() function is working fine, could you please try the “lost password” link on the WP Admin login page and see if you receive an email with the password reset link? No need to actually reset the password, we just need to confirm if the email arrives in your mailbox.

    If not, it means that there could be some issue with the email functionality on the site or some kind of conflict. However, if you are able to receive the password reset email fine, we would need to perfom some further troubleshooting about the issue.

    For that, you will need to install an email logging plugin like https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/wp-mail-logging/ and then make a submission. It should show the log of the email and also highlight the error in case the email wasn’t sent.

    Could you please make these couple of tests and let us know how it goes? In case you notice an error on the email log plugin related to the Forminator email – please also attach a screenshot of the error so that we can check it further.

    Note: Since the test involves installing a plugin on the site, I would recommend making a full backup of your site as a safety checkpoint.

    Awaiting your response.

    Kind Regards,
    Saurabh

    Thank you for your reply.

    I have tried several times to send the “lost password” link on the WP Admin login page and have not received any email from WordPress to reset my password.

    What do you think I should do? Open a support ticket for WordPress? Could it be something with my hosting provider Hostinger?

    Hi @hamilton200

    That means your WordPress emails are not working at all, and if you are not using an SMTP plugin the issue is most probably related to your hosting.

    What do you think I should do? Open a support ticket for WordPress? Could it be something with my hosting provider Hostinger?

    The best approach is to contact your hosting provider they can check the email logs on your server to find more clues about why the emails are not working.

    Additionally, you can use a custom email SMTP server to fix this issue, you should use a plugin like Branda or WP Mail SMTP to set it up. Please take a look at this document to learn more:
