Contact Form 7 “from” defaulting to server admin

    Hi,
    been asked to fix someone’s contact form as it seems to always put the server admin email in the “from” field. I re-uploaded Contact Form 7 and it didn’t help. I’m a bit stuck to be honest. Does anyone have any idea why this could be happening? As the email does not appear anywhere in the code I assume it is the server constant being used as a default for some reason.

    They seem to be using php 4 as well. Could this be an issue for Contact Form 7? I know I should upgrade their WP installation as well but noticed some people reported problems with CF7 after the upgrade …

    Any input would be greatly appreciated.

    to be more specific, your-name gives “admin” and your-email gives the email address that is the server admin constant, so both the name and email address are lost.

    Deactivating other plugins might fix it.

    I will give it a shot but they have hardly any plugins.

    At the moment I’ve narrowed it down to the additional headers in php mail() not working – I can add the [your-name] and [your-email] info to the message body and they arrive fine. I thought perhaps it is something to do with the version of php they are using – 4.2.3 – which does support additional headers but according to the php manual it was incomplete. I haven’t been able to track down any more specific info about php 4.2.3. I checked and php is not running in “safe mode” (which would have disabled the additional headers in 4.2.3). That was a blow as I was sure I had found it! 🙂

    ha! WishList Member was conflicting with it and causing this to happen.
    I’m assuming she wants to use both and so I still need to figure out what is going on, or find an alternative for one or the other plugins.
    Thanks for the tip.
