I also had a barage of emails and also noticed that the shortcode stopped working, which I had on my box office page. I have reverted back to 2.0.0 and it worked again. So there is definitely a bug introduced in the latest version as of now (2.0.5).

Just following up to say I solved this issue by completely uninstalling the plugin along with all its settings and then setting it up again.

Thanks for coming back to me. On checking the version, it is actually 8.1.9, so I think a developer has done some tweaks on it. Sorry to bother you about that.

Yes, it’s due an update soon. Glad you like it ??

Yes, I see what you mean! It’s going to be difficult to debug this without seeing the form not working.
Akismet is pretty straightforward to set up. Here is a guide if you haven’t done this before How to prevent WordPress spam.

How about creating a new page with the form on?
FYI if you have the Akismet plugin installed all form entries get filtered through it for spam so it is pretty safe not to have recaptcha and of course it is nicer for users too.

Hello

Can you supply a link with the contact form on it configured for recaptcha? Thanks.

Hi @sniedzwiecki)

The plugin has not been updated recently. But possibly there has been a change on your host server that has caused this. I often receive support tickets from users who say that the plugin has suddenly stopped working and often it is server changes that are the cause.

Your host should be able to help with the php.ini file update.

Thank you @mnelson4. I will look into changing this in the next update.

I can confirm that this plugin works with WordPress 5. The reason you are not receiving the mail could be down to a change on the server. Are you getting a ‘message was not sent’ error?

The plugin should work in WordPress 5. Please can you give me more details of what is going wrong?

@flourishprosper put it in your theme’s functions.php file.

Hi,
Yes definitely worth adding. Thanks for the suggestion. Meghan

I had this problem too. Items would appear in people’s carts that they hadn’t put there.

I added this code to disable the persistent cart and the issue has gone away.

//disable persistent cart
add_filter('woocommerce_persistent_cart_enabled', function () {
    return false;
});

Carts are still saved in the session. I hope this helps.

Hi there,

Yes some email providers will not let you send an email from a different domain address. You can override the ‘from’ address on the settings screen:

On the settings screen of the contact form tick ‘Override ‘From’ Address :‘ and then enter an email address that you own in the ‘‘From’ Email Address :‘ box underneath.
