Why does my contact form no longer work?

I’ll do that, but did something change in the plugin? I’m just confused as to what happened. I’ve installed CF7 on countless sites and I’m hoping they’re not all messed up.

Form

<p>Your Name (required)<br />
    [text* your-name] </p>

<p>Your Email (required)<br />

<p>Service interested in<br />

The latest release of Contact Form 7 4.4 introduced the Configuration Validator which validates Contact Form 7 form configurations to detect errors leading to mail delivery failure or other troubles.

In your case you have 2 problems which can cause you form emails to either not be sent or seen by other hosts as spam.

Your form emails may still currently be working but there is an increasing risk that they will not work at some time in the future.

To remove these errors in your case you could change your Mail section as follows:

To: [email protected]

From: [email protected]

Subject: Site Name - [your-subject]

Additional Headers: Reply-to: [your-name] <[your-email]>

See Contact Form 7 Email Issues for an explanation of why these changes are increasingly important.

I tried that and it didn’t work. Does it have something to do with using google business for my email address? That’s the link I was trying to troubleshoot from before to no avail. I’ll look at it again. I just don’t understand why all of a sudden it stopped working after it working perfectly for years.

I have the same Problem your From-Adress must be exactly the same domain as the site runs.

Your Site: https://www.test.com

Your From Adress need to be: [email protected]

This new validation sucks… ??

I do have an email address that is the same as the domain, so I am not sure what the issue could be.

If you use it as in your example (From: [your-name] <[your-email]>) this won’t work anymore.

@mariannelynnh – please add your content in the Form & Mail sections here so I can help to clarify your particular configuration issues.

Does it have something to do with using google business for my email address?

That’s a likely cause – “using google business for my email address” is increasingly difficult due to their increasingly tighter spam control measures.
