mshaynerushI would think any site would have the ability to present a form in which to collect data in the form of an email, and surprisingly, WordPress makes it like a rubix cube to simply create a form and use a php script to send the form contents to my specified email.
So, either I am missing something easy, or it just won't allow the site I created to act like any other website.
How can I get the contents of the form from the user via my email address from my contacts page?
Here is what I have tried.
plugin: contact-form-7
Plugin: configure-smpt.php
I have tried the google settings in the SMTP settings when the configure-smtp.php plugin is activated.
I have tried my own server address with user and password.
I have tried a fresh automatic install with and without the contact form 7 plugin. I have used my own php script that I have tested with another non wordpress site that works. In fact, the php scrip I created sends the correct header back when the script is done running, but no email ever comes through.
what the heck am i missing. nothing works at all.
