@realstash I had to modify a couple files in order to hide the “keyword” field.

But before you modify anything it is recommended to follow these steps here –
https://pluginsware.com/documentation/customizing-acadp-templates/
So that you won’t lose the changes when the plugin updates.

I’ve modified acadp-public-search-form-inline-display.php and acadp-public-search-form-vertical-display.php so both the search widget and the search page won’t have “keyword”.

In those files you can find the “keyword” field and add style="display:none;" to it.

Hope this helps.

Hi, the css code did hide the “keyword” field but left a space where it used to be.
So I’ve edited the search template file and placed style="display:none;" in that input field.

Maybe an option to show or hide that field can added in the future.

Thank you!

Thank you!

I’ve followed the steps and edited the file successfully.
Perhaps on the next update we could have an option to show/hide such fields.
I think it could come in handy.

Thanks again.

Thank you for the quick reply.

I actually would like to keep the locations, I just don’t need users to enter their address and zip code.

Any way I can do that?

Gmail has this overriding behaviour.

Outlook/Hotmail also.

Thank you Jason, Peter.

That is what I thought.. I AM sending the emails from myself so the from name would be me, I was wondering if there was a way to change that somehow.

Actually what I have figured out is that the “from name” is being taken from the email account it is being sent from, which is me, so whatever name I have set up in my email account, that’s what will show in the “from name”.

At first I couldn’t tell because it is the same name for both the site and the email account.

So.. I’ve modified the form to have “- Sender Name” added to the subject field, and now I can differentiate between all the emails.

I understand.. I’ve tried that too, to set up the name in front of the email address in the “Reply to” field, but no change.

By the way, when I didn’t have to use SMTP to send emails it showed up just fine with the name and the email of the person sending the form,
but now I have to use SMTP, otherwise emails won’t go thought, I’m guessing something to do with the hosting.

The form is set up correctly, to present the sender name and address,
but when combining it with SMTP it overrides the name.

It is a bit annoying because when you try to find a specific email,
all you see is a bunch of emails with the website name instead of the person.

Any ideas?

Thank you for quickly replying Peter.

Of course, the sender is set up as myself,
and the “Reply to” address is the person filling the form,
it is working correctly when I reply to an email.

I’m trying to figure out if the “Reply to” name can be the person filling the form instead of my site’s name.

Hi,

I have left it as is but with the option of displaying only one row at a time so that not all data will be visible right away.

Thanks again!

Thanks for the quick reply!

It’s just that I don’t want people to see any data unless they search for the exact word, or more specific an address.

Another solution could be disabling the auto find when users are starting to type in the search bar, this might be enough.

Any ideas? ??

Thanks!

Hello, just wondering if anyone managed to have a .pdf created from a contact form that users submitted? @josjojo, were you able to do this?

Alright everyone. I’ve just signed up to this forum to share some information regarding this issue.

I also have a GoDaddy hosting account with WordPress and Contact Form 7 installed. And noticed less emails coming through from the website in the last week or so.

I decided to check it out and sent a few test emails with the “from” input field as @yahoo.com, @hotmail.com, and other test @domains.
As others mentioned, the emails with the “from” field @yahoo.com, etc. did not go through. I decided to call GoDaddy, and of course after speaking with few support agents that told me they do not see any issues on their end and they cannot help me, I finally got to one that told me GoDaddy does not allow having email forms with the “from” field as @yahoo.com, @hotmail.com, @gmail.com etc.

I also found this article – https://help.godaddy.com/article/510
where you can find this statement on the bottom.
GoDaddy – “Our mail server will not send email containing a “From:” header entry of aol, gmail, yahoo, hotmail, live, aim, or msn.”

The solution –
After many tests I’ve finally got to the best fix that works out for me. What you need to do is change some settings in Contact Form 7.

1. Edit the “From” field under Mail to [your-name] <[your-email]>,<[email protected]> where the domain is your GoDaddy domain. Or you can just put an email address that is not @yahoo.com and such.
This works because you must have a “From” that is within your domain (according to GoDaddy). Basically you are not supposed to put an email address that is @yahoo.com, @hotmail.com, etc. The only downfall is that when you reply to such an email, you will need to manually remove [email protected], unless you don’t mind getting an email of the replied message to your account.

2. Under “message body” on the right hand side, separate the name and the email fields so it shows – From: [your-name]
Email: [your-email] instead of From: [your-name] <[your-email]>.
This is very important, as even if all the setting are correct and this is not, the emails will not go through, so make sure the name and the email fields are on separate lines.

3. Now I’m not sure if you also need to have the “To” field under Mail to also be an address under your GoDaddy domain, mine is anyway. So if you’re still having issues with the form, try that too.

That’s it. You should be able to receive emails even if the “From” field contains @yahoo.com, @hotmail.com, etc. addresses.

Another note, if you have the Fast Secure Contact Form plugin, they also mentioned in their settings that you can change the “From” field so that you can “Enable when web host requires “Mail From” strictly tied to domain email account“. Which makes sense in GoDaddy’s case.

Too bad GoDaddy doesn’t even notify their customers of that issue, I just hope I didn’t miss too many important emails.

Good luck to everyone and I hope you resolve this issue.
Thanks.
