To help you out it’s best to list what version of wordpress you are using, what version number of the contact form plugin, and if possible a link to your site so that people can see the behavior themselves.
My bad..
WP Version: 2.1.3
Contact Form ][ version 2.0.13
Link to the contact page: http://www.sarai.in/contact-us/
Please help
Looks like the form script is put in the part where the content usually is. Did you just create a Page and in the “Write Page” field, you put in your form script/etc.?
If so, that won’t work.
You can create the form (*just* the form), and at the top – BEFORE anything else, add this line:
<?php require('/SERVER PATH TO/wp-blog-header.php'); ?>
Then you just use the regular <?php get_header(); ?> etc. to the form to call in the WordPress stuff.
Which contact form? There are always several plugins doing the same – so provide a name and link to the plugin used.
doodlebee: never had to do that before, i have used this plugin so many times on differen blog just inserting [contact-us] anywhere the form shouled be and it always works.
moshu: Name of the plugin is: Contact Form ][ version 2.0.13 and the url is http://chip.cuccio.us/projects/contact-form-ii/
Question #1. Did you upgrade? Is the plugin compatible with your new version?
Moshu, the pluin was successfully used with wp 2.1.1 but i am currently using wp 2.1.3, so i am not sure.
Can you suggest something?
While this doesn’t resolve the issues with THIS form, there is an alternate form out there that works with 2.1.3 and it’s a branch off the same form tree (I think) as this one. It’s here and called WordPress Contact Form with Spam Protection. I use it on my 2.1.3 and it works perfectly.
Thanks harknell, i will check it out and see if it work..
Harknell.. i used the form but get the very same problem as the other ones.. the form redirects to home page without sending out email or giving error

that form is AWESOME, works like a charm, no modifications and it even has a verification code for people to copy so that you don’t get spam
i think this one will do the trick it works on all versions
try it out 🙂
The problem is NOT with the contact forms. the problem lies with the template 🙁
i changed the templated and the forms works like they are supposed to..
how would i find out which piece of code is creating problem?
I don’t know about templates and plugins and such, but I will say that the solution I provided above *does* work. I’ve used it on many a non-wordpress page – including forms. I’ve got that running on all my sites that have wordpress going.
Though not an answer to your question, I’ll weigh in with a contact form plugin recommendation. I have used this one on a few sites and love it:

johnny, i have tried that plugin too and it did not work.. its the theme which has a problem and i have not been able to figure out what.
