Using pipes for selectable recipient not working

Just a quick update. I’ve check the source code of the page that holds the contact form. I understand that the “value” parameter for each dropdown option element, should be set to the e-mails address I’ve set in the form, using the pipe technique. However, the “value” parameter shows the words I placed before the pipe.

I’ve also check that the USE_PIPE constante is set to true in my Contact Form 7 installation.

Thank you!

I’ve followed the instructions, however, when I try to send a message through the form, I get an error message.

What error message do you get?

I have created the dropdown menu as per instructions and of course, I have set the corresponding tag in the “To” field of the message template. Can’t think of anything that could be causing this error.

How did you set the drop-down menu and the To field?

Takayuki,

Thank you for replying!

The error message I get is in Spanish because my WP is in that language. In the CF7 panel, would be error message #2. The translation could be: “Your message failed to be sent. Please try again later or contact the administrator by other means”.

This is how I set the dropdown:
[select destinatario “Contacto General | [email protected]”
“Experimendo San Luis | [email protected]”
“Contrataciones | [email protected]”]

Of course I’ve used real e-mail addresses.

And the “To” field is set to: [destinatario]

Thank you!

I must add, when I remove the dropdown menu and use a “fixed” e-mail address in the “To” field, the contact form works perfectly.

Thank you!

[select destinatario “Contacto General | [email protected]”
“Experimendo San Luis | [email protected]”
“Contrataciones | [email protected]”]

You don’t need space around pipes (|). Remove them.

Great! It worked like a charm!

In the page that provides instructions to do this (https://contactform7.com/selectable-recipient-with-pipes/) it seems to have spaces around pipes. I suggest removing or including in text a warning saying: “You need to remove spaces around pipes. “

Thank you so much for your time! I really think this is the best contact form plugin I’ve found so far for WordPress!

Have a great day!
