Title: bad update Last modified: August 31, 2016 --- # bad update * [malekisoft](https://wordpress.org/support/users/malekisoft/) * (@malekisoft) * [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bad-update-17/) * very bad update:\ my language supports failed…. always in new form, there was an option to choose language. but now?! bad Errors in my forms…. for example:“ This email address does not belong to the same domain as the site” all things lost…. * why????!!!! * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/contact-form-7/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/contact-form-7/) Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 18 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bad-update-17/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bad-update-17/page/2/?output_format=md) * [Viridum](https://wordpress.org/support/users/viridum/) * (@viridum) * [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bad-update-17/#post-7086157) * Yes and it says “COnfiguration error” without telling what the error is. * I have tested and tested, but forms work well. So please clarify why this update is suddenly singing “Configuration error” no matter what I do? * Anonymous User 12851872 * (@anonymized-12851872) * [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bad-update-17/#post-7086176) * Hi, * everything is good before the update, now two errors after the update, the “From” lines and “Subject” the first line I [Your-name] <[your-email]> This email address Does not belong to the Saami have the domain site. then second line [Your-subject] This field can be empty DEPENDING ON user input. * I have therefore edited like that -First line, put my site email [your-name] * -Second line add a word or phrase Subject [your-subject] * Like that error message more * [Richard](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rckelsey/) * (@rckelsey) * [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bad-update-17/#post-7086209) * Yes, [your-name] [your-email] has always been in the From Field. With or without the < > around [your-email], either way. * I’m sure it’s just a bug in the lastest update. * Anonymous User 12851872 * (@anonymized-12851872) * [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bad-update-17/#post-7086210) * Hi, * There is no bug, I deal with three sites, I did it on 3 sites, put an email with the domain name of each site, the form works and 0 error. * [your-name] [your-email] NO * [your-name] YES * to see [http://contactform7.com/setting-up-mail/](http://contactform7.com/setting-up-mail/) * [Richard](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rckelsey/) * (@rckelsey) * [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bad-update-17/#post-7086211) * noaneo, * that doesn’t make sense. Why should the From Field all of a sudden be from the site it is coming from? * I have at least 50 client sites with CF7…you know how much work that would be? * From Field makes sense to have sender’s name and email. * [Richard](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rckelsey/) * (@rckelsey) * [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bad-update-17/#post-7086212) * For that matter, emails still send fine, without changing anything. It is an error in the backend for some reason. * Anonymous User 12851872 * (@anonymized-12851872) * [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bad-update-17/#post-7086213) * I understand but this is not a bug, the author has read messages and to even put a message on the forum [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/red-border-error-issue-on-wordpress-441?replies=1](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/red-border-error-issue-on-wordpress-441?replies=1) * you need to modify the 50 sites * the plugin is changing, things are changing, you have to adapt It tolerates more errors, it indicates in front [http://contactform7.com/setting-up-mail/](http://contactform7.com/setting-up-mail/) article on 2009-12 – 04T 03 date: 14:22 + 00:00 and changed the 2015-06-12 T 12: 02:36 + 00:00 * [Richard](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rckelsey/) * (@rckelsey) * [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bad-update-17/#post-7086234) * I am not seeing errors with red border. I still have mail tags in the from field. Above all, it is an extreme nuance to have to check the email body to see the sender’s email and name. Have you ever received an email without the sender’s info in the inbox?? * Further, if you have the email address of the domain set up in a mail client, you’ll have it twice, in both the inbox and outbox. * Not a great contact form then, is it? * [Richard](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rckelsey/) * (@rckelsey) * [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bad-update-17/#post-7086235) * The next thing is, what happens if you use SMTP plugins or WP Better Emails? They usually override CF7 from field. * Anonymous User 12851872 * (@anonymized-12851872) * [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bad-update-17/#post-7086267) * Hi, * I do not use SMTP plugins or WP Better Emails. to do as on the documentation of the site, fill each tab [http://contactform7.com/admin-screen/](http://contactform7.com/admin-screen/) * to have all information in the mail, complete the “Message Board” as there [](http://www.smallbizgeek.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/contact-form-7-email-message-body.png) * [Richard](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rckelsey/) * (@rckelsey) * [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bad-update-17/#post-7086270) * SMTP or WP Better Emails has other benefits though, too. In conjunction with CF7. 😉 * Anonymous User 12851872 * (@anonymized-12851872) * [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bad-update-17/#post-7086271) * I limit the number of plugins, for not having too many queries, to not slow down a site, so CF7 works without plugins, so I do not want to install them CF7 offers to send mail in HTML * [smallbizgeek](https://wordpress.org/support/users/smallbizgeek/) * (@smallbizgeek) * [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bad-update-17/#post-7086274) * Richard is right. I use SMTP plugins. I know what spoofing is, I know what PHP mail is. * This latest update from CF7 is ridiculous. noaneo, you’re barking up the wrong tree. No one wants to reply to themselves when they receive an email! Why is this so difficult to understand! * Anonymous User 12851872 * (@anonymized-12851872) * [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bad-update-17/#post-7086277) * Sorry I do not speak English, I am using a translator to understand, I do not understand your problem. I know that the solution seems weird, must put his email, I repeat, I have tested on several sites, with the amendment, putting another email and it works, I have received the mail. Despite the fact to his email, it does not change the envoyur email, well, hers in the mail received. * Forgiveness but this change does not come with the latest update, I have installed CF7 on a site a few months ago, by default I have this configuration, the only change with the last update, indicates the old configuration as an error while before it did report. But despite the error the plugin works, isn’t it, so do not take into account the error message. * I did not say that Richard was wrong, it offers 2 plugins that I do not use and I do not want to use, I am forced to install? * [Richard van Denderen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rdd/) * (@rdd) * [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bad-update-17/#post-7086281) * A lot of web & smtp servers don’t allow to send emails on someone else’s behalve. Also a lot of spam filters wont let emails trough where to “from” sender is sent from a different IP adres as allowed in the DNS SPF-records. * The solution is (probably) the additional headers where you can set a ‘reply- to’ address `Reply-To: [email]` * example screenshot: [https://www.evernote.com/l/AAkmycohHqNEuoymoe_ATCNpxIbZsG3KEbI](https://www.evernote.com/l/AAkmycohHqNEuoymoe_ATCNpxIbZsG3KEbI) ( as far as i know this is a default configuration) Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 18 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bad-update-17/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bad-update-17/page/2/?output_format=md) The topic ‘bad update’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/contact-form-7/assets/icon.svg?rev=2339255) * [Contact Form 7](https://wordpress.org/plugins/contact-form-7/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/contact-form-7/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/contact-form-7/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/contact-form-7/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/contact-form-7/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/contact-form-7/reviews/) * 18 replies * 7 participants * Last reply from: Anonymous User 12851872 * Last activity: [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bad-update-17/page/2/#post-7086301) * Status: not a support question
