Same issue for my domain. Hosting is asking us to use a different form vs CF7 with DB.

Location to set the date?
Set a suitable date for it to automatically switch back to Enabled and Protecting.

Do I check “automatically enable on” and add a date?

I read the following page https://www.wordfence.com/help/firewall/learning-mode/

Hi there,

Unfortunately, that’s not true. Nothing has changed with the mail server, at least not here. You can certainly configure your WordPress install to send via SMTP however and I would encourage you to do so. Since you are using externally hosted email (Google’s G Suite) you’ll need to send through there. (not true for contact form 7)

You simply need to install and activate this plugin:

https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/wp-mail-smtp/

You can then enter your email account details as provided to you by G Suite. You can test that by sending a test mail. If that works then everything is correct.

You should ensure your form in the plugin is configured correctly (there should be no “!” on the mail configuration tab in the form settings).

If it’s still not working after that you would need to get back to the developer to let them know that you’re sending via SMTP and it’s still failing.

Best regards,

Thank you for the reply. Do you understand what is wrong? Let’s follow a process and you can tell me why your plugin provides the error and no email is sent to the author of the domain hosting your plugin contact form 7.

First off, I’ve used your plugin for five years and after installing WP 5.6, I started to see the error as stated above.

If you go to the URL in the original post above, and type in your information but use a yahoo, gmail or hotmail email address, you will receive the error as stated above. The domain author will not receive the input from the customer(you) if they use yahoo, gmail or hotmail as a return email address.

The error will not appear if you type a different email address versus those three per my limited analysis. ie yahoo.ca.com or www.ads-software.com

Go to the URL above and give it a try and advise why I get this error and why no email is provided?

If further information is required, please advise.

I get the same error using yahoo email address

Vaka2vaka – thank you for the support, but I wouldn’t even know where to add this coding.

As you know, this is a contact 7 form vs a default WP comments.

In further testing, the contact 7 form on Chrome and IE on a desktop win10 will not work with and email of
yahoo.com
gmail.com
hotmail.com

I will work if I say
yahoo.ca.com
gmail.ca.com
hotmail.ca.com

Something isn’t working correctly anymore.

No, I didn’t solve the issue, but I’m assuming some type of spam filter is blocking my submittal. If I use my default email address [email protected] I get an error. If I fake an email address it comes through. Also I need to type in some real words vs just a roll of the fingers.

I do see Yordan emails, but Yordan, please use my email address in the form and see if you get the error. I also tried [email protected], I get the error, but if I use [email protected] it goes through.

FYI, I did try my email address on IE browser and it went through. These errors are on the Chrome desktop browser WIN10 OS and it fails on my mobile. I don’t know what browser my mobile is using as a default.

I conducted a few more test. I removed my anti spam plugin to see it that was a conflict and it still caused and error if you I use my yahoo.com email address. When I used my domain email address it worked. I did clear the cache. I turned my anti spam plugin back on revalidated my domain and it worked.

I wonder why yahoo.com email is being blocked on chrome? I wonder how many more email domains are being blocked and why?

Mine stopped several days ago.. Trying to figure it out. It has all the updates and I’m running wp 5.6 https://www.backyardgardener.com/contact-us/

My hosting provider is throwing me bones, but nothing is on the bone for me to chew on.

This is the error

There was an error trying to send your message. Please try again later.

I use contact forms for another page on my domain and it give the same error, but data is collected on a database and the error is still provided.

I’ve used this plugin I assume for 5-10 years

Well it’s been over an hour and still no revision to external links.

Martin, I’m searching for a plugin that will grab any image in my gallery (hundreds) and auto tag it as the Featured Image. I converted 2K pages from html to WP and none of them were tagged with a Featured Image.

Custom coding?
Another plugin?

Thank you
