Syntax error that seems bogus

  • Hi,

    Instead of using that format, kindly try to use the syntax below. Add the email address after the name

    [your-name] <[email protected]>

    Make sure there are no apostrophe.

    Hope that helps.
    Thanks

    Hi Drebeltrami,

    The Syntax error is not bogus, you are having this issue because you are putting your name within a pair of angle brackets.

    This informs contact form 7 that a email address is contained within, which in your case is seen as invalid as you have no “@.com”.

    To fix this issue you could replace from with Andrea Beltrami <[your-email]>

    Please note however that this is not best practice as a lot of emails will be seen as spam, see contact form 7 email issues

    Also if you are to do this if the user does not fill in their e-mail the form will not send and so your-email must be a required field.

    Ok, so I found the answer in another thread:
    https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/from-field-showing-configuration-error?replies=12

    The from needs to have your actual email address from your domain (so [email protected]). If the error message was actually that (instead of “syntax error”) that might be much more helpful.

    Now I have to get it to work, because I changed it, tested it, but never got my form submission. Time to check with my host.

    Pete
