Dear All,

it looks like my question is too complicated so that nobody feels encouraged to reply. For this let me phrase it like this:

After submitting the mail I would like to be able to print/review the mail and then press some kind of exit button to leave that dialog and return to the contact form. Is there currently a way to do so or is there something in the planning ?

Thanks and regards
Thomas

Hi mbrsolution,

thanks for your effort. Maybe the contact form is not even responsible for the trouble that many users have with the email. However the email is the central element of this form that has to work.

In the old days without wordpress we simply send emails from HTML with
“action=”mailto:[email protected]” and had all the code in our hands. Now everything is more hidden to the user and harder to debug. When moving my page to HTTPS I had to
change the port that I used so far for emails. These are all traps that you are not
responsible for but they prevent us from sending emails.

Since I can send online but not from my development system I do not care too much.
But maybe it is an idea to share some more background of the mailing process of your
plugin. I think your documentation is great. But many users have problems with the email setup and I cannot think of anything more clever than background information to overcome these problems and faster debug problems that may be related to the users
setup and provider.

Kind regards
Thomas

Hi mbrsolution,

thanks for your answer and hint. I checked and found the weakness in the contact form.
The form does not style the submit button completely. This means it does not overwrite
the property “background-image”.

This means that this property has still the value from the theme and is conflicting with the property “bachground-color”. Some themes like “Twenty seventeen” do not set a background image for buttons and they work fine. Other themes like “customizr” do set this value and do not work with your plugin.

The simple solution is not only to say “background-color: lime !important;” but also to
add “background-image: none !important;”. If you want to check you can use the free version of “customizr” with your “plugin”.

With the above fix all themes work without problems with your plugin. Maybe you want to add this fix to the next release of your software or maybe you want to update at
least the documentation and mention that this additional property might be necessary.

For it works fine now and the problem is solved.

Thanks again and kind regards
Thomas

@mbrsolution,

did you read my problem ?

“property background-color not working for the submit button !!!!!!!!!!!!”

This means if you try to apply the new color this color shows up at half of the button only if you hover over the button.

Of course everybody who submits a problem here read the documentation and it still did not work. So it would be great if you could try to apply this property and let us know
how to fix it. It checked the behavior with Internet explorer 11 and with Mozilla firefox.

Kind regards
Thomas

Hi Brixton4g63t,

I have the same problem. But in my case I just cannot send emails from my
development system using localhost and XAMPP. When uploading my page to my
provider the sending of emails works.

Kind regards
Thomas
