Emails Not Sending

    I’m not sure what’s going on but the email feature of CF7 seems to be utterly broken

    I can easily send email using PHP mail(…) and even match the same from / to and subject line (just to ensure emails are not being spammed) – I then even tried embedding HTML (just to check again, wasn’t getting caught for spam) and all these come through fine

    But nothing appears to come through from CF7 – so far as I can tell it doesn’t even use the To/From fields entered in the form settings

    Naturally since I know emails are working on the host, I’ve then tried updating the to/from addresses but in no cases does anything get sent.

    Any help greatly appreciated

    Actually, ignore that because I have little faith it can be made to work – could someone let me know where (in code) is the point at which emails should be sent.

    I will write my own code to send them, that way I know it will work – I just need to know which part of the code this should be done in, please

    Many thanks,

    Sorry to keep posting, but I’ve found the snippet of code within CF7 calling wp_mail(…)

    So I then abstracted this into a separate php script and ran it – and it also works fine (I get emails sent with wp_mail(…) too

    What is CF7 doing in addition to this which may be breaking?

    Hello @thefraj,

    Did you try setting up SMTP? Please see I get an error message with a red border. So, how can I solve this?.

    Best regards,
    Yordan.

    Okay I’ve got it working! ??

    Not sure what you’ve done here, but to resolve it I just had to hard code the subject line. You may wish to check this for future releases.

    But to resolve it, I went to:

    /wp-content/plugins/contact-form-7/includes

    Open up mail.php

    And hard-code the subject line (on line 117) where you call wp_mail(…): and it works fine!

    return wp_mail( $recipient, “Subject line here”, $body, $headers, $attachments );

    So there’s something not right about how you are retrieving the subject for the email – or, it’s possible if no subject line was entered (or something similar) the method call may fail

    You may wish to look at that for future releases,

    @thefraj, Many thanks for this workaround.

    @takayukister you guys might need to look into this as I was experiencing the same on a client’s site and this manual fix finally worked and started sending messages out.
