Greetings!

I used to love contact form 7 but not anymore. It's Not sending email. I did a quick search and lots of people are experiencing the same.

Would you kind to give me any alternative of contact form 7? If possible, a contact form that is responsive too.

Your input will be very much appreciated.

Thanks,
G.B.

    Why you are not using your own script for the form?

      I am not that advanced when it comes to coding yet. So I prefer a plugin at this point in time since I am using wordpress.

        Don't give up on contact form 7 yet.

        Replace the current one in the MAIL section with this:

        from: [your-name]<*[your-email]*>

    I use Ninja forms and that has worked well for me.

    You may want to delve into why your plugin is not sending emails or if it's sending them but they aren't being received - two big different problems. I have a hard time believing that the authors of Contact form 7 with all their users would mess something up without quickly fixing it. They have a huge following.

      Thanks Mark. I will check Ninja forms now. I am not really sure why many people are experiencing the same and could not find any solution yet.

    If it's sending emails but they are not being received, you may need to install an SMTP plugin. I had to do that.

    Good luck.

    The problem is that the header of the message is checked to see from where the email is sent. The best fix is to create an email for your domain and use it for the contact form. Here is a quick explanation of what I want to say: CF7

    I had a problem with contact form 7 not working last year, I got frustrated so I posted a job on elance and someone fixed it for me for about $25. It was well worth it.
