It came out wierdin the last message so here is the link to the page I was referring to:

Yup. That didn’t work though so I got rid of it. Something must be overriding it. Any thoughts?

I don’t have an issue when other ping or track. What happens is, when I publish an article, it automatically pings & tracks ME. So it is making me ping & track MYSELF. Then it shows a potion of my article that I had just written. How come this is happening? How do I make it so that I am not pinging & tracking myself?

Oh… Also, I have cleantalk and akismet. Is it advisable to keep your plugin?

Thanks… I will give it a try.

Thanks Mike-

Just out of curiosity, can I put BBC to one of my yahoo email addresses or might that be a bad idea?

Wait!!! Another weird thing… Maybe it’s a full moon. Hmmm… I JUST received the same contact form at my other yahoo email address and it came. It didn’t even get spammed!!! This is working out well. I wonder if my website mail might pick it up. I will check tomorrow morning. Thank you again.

Wait… Something weird. I got my contact message that I sent hours ago. It went to my spam folder in my doggiespa yahoo account. I don’t understand why it’s not going into my my essentiallydogs.com mail. I am glad that there aren’t error messages, but I still don’t understand why it is going into the wrong mail box and why it is getting spammed. I am happy that I got it though without any error messages. Hey!!! could it be that my mailchimp is doing something to it? A mailchimp person added a checkbox at the bottom of the form. It’s strange though because I also changed the email settings for mailchimp as well. Hmmmm. I think that we are stepping in the right direction.

Thank you so much for getting back to me. You see, being that I am a newbie AND meticulous about my work, it makes me feel so helpless when I can’t fix something. I appreciate the support you both have been giving to me.

I have done that already. I changed my wordpress settings to my website email AND the FS Contact as well. The FS Contact plugin is blocking all people who use yahoo mail. If a person using yahoo mail tries to send me a message, it emails them to tell them that the message was sent, but it gives me NO email from them. I am not getting any of their email. I even tried signing out of my wordpress and filling it out as an outsider. That smtp plugin doesn’t seem to be doing anything. Can I get rid of it? I don’t even know if I used the correct settings. Theoretically, should that plugin resolve the issue? Did I mess up the settings for it? Every person with a yahoo mail address is being blocked from me by FS Contact form. I love the form. Gmail is fine. Only yahoo mail is the problem. I don’t want to get rid of it. I must be doing something wrong because I think I have tried everything. How can I fix this?

Hi Mike-

What is the workaround? Is the issue happening because I am sending the contact messages using my own yahoo email addresses in the form? Will it work when others try to contact me if they have yahoo? Does your plugin have a fix? I added the plugin wp smtp hoping that the problem would go away, but it didn’t do anything. I hate adding plugins because I have too many as it is. Should I get rid of the wp smtp plugin? Is there a way to set that plugin so that it will take care of the yahoo issue? If so, I can’t figure out the settings. I am a newbie so I don’t understand anything technical. I already changed the email address to the website email, but it still acknowledges the yahoo address. I don’t know why. My wordpress settings on my settings admin page are no longer yahoo address. I don’t want to block people who have yahoo addresses because yahoo is so popular that it would block a ton of people… What can I do???

Thanks again,
Janie

Hi again-

Thank you for the suggestion. I gave it a try, but it didn’t work. I changed all my settings so that the email address would be [email protected]. At least I thought I changed all those settings. There must be a setting somewhere that has my [email protected]. The contact form is working via the doggiespa yahoo address. Where in my settings can I change that address? I tried signing my google email address into the contact form. Same issue. Here is a portion of the error message:

Hi again-
I added that plugin you suggested that would clear up the problem. This time it didn’t go to my spam box, but I still got errors. What did I do wrong? How come this happened? Thanks again.

This is what I got:

I tried other plugins an it is just very frustrating for me with all the different settings so… guess what… I put back the FS Contact form. I will give that plugin a try. Does it expand the capabilities by adding stuff for yahoo…? or does it change things completely making it necessary to tweak other stuff?

Thanks again,

All of them failed. I think that I need to find a plugin that is easier for a newbie like me. I also need for it to integrate with mailchimp. I think that I would be best off giving up and taking a different direction. Thank you so much for trying to help me. I appreciate your time.
