Test Email works but the Contact Form email does not work

I’m having the same problem with the PHP mail() function. It won’t mail the registration from the Event Registration plugin

Same issue here…

Looking at the test logs, it seems I inadvertently sent the test mail using the PHP mail() function and not via SMTP. So the error lies in my SMTP settings and not the form or plugin.

What I didn’t realize, and may be cause for some confusion with other users, is that the test mail sends according to the send mail option settings. So (and this is what got me) it’s not a pre-launch test per se, but a quick test area (rather than having to visit your form page and send from within). Helpful if you have validation, having to fill out added fields, etc. Sot the test area makes sense, just a little confusing. Well, for me anyway ??

Hope this helps others who may have misunderstood the test function.

Same issue here

Replace mail() function with wp_mail() function – all the parameters are the same.

Hi Flickreel!
Experiencing the same problem.
Where do I replace the mail() function with wp_mail() function?

Regards from Norway

Any update on that?Same issue here.

Same here… Test email sends OK, but Contact Forms 7 doesn’t, if I use SMTP (with default localhost/port 25 configuration, which worked for me in the past in other projects). If I back to PHP Mail(), everything works correct. But the point of this plugin is to be able to use SMTP, isn’t it?
Waiting for any update on that, thank you in advance!

USE Different Emails and check.

for example…. check with your web domain email , yahoo email, gmail email, etc

For any noob like me out there, my problem was PROBABLY that my server host was NOT able to send emails because it was a FREE one.So first make sure that the server where your site is being hosted is ABLE to send emails and then search for a solution through WordPress etc.

F.Y.I. Test email sent OK from the FREE server as well, so don’t let that fool you.

use plugin ‘WP Mail Bank’, it works on my site

My test and form to be sent does not go to my email how do I fix this please as I am losing business through my site not receiving the contact forms…thanks

Hello.

I have the same problem following the recent update. The test form sends just fine but it wont send the contact form. I have tried a few other contact form plugins and it doies the same. Not working.

Can we please get the old version back or is there a fix for this.

Please.

Test message works with php_mail and SMTP option but sending via native contact form does not work with any option.
Please advise.

Thanks
