    I’m getting the following message: “1 configuration error found” but I can’t find where the hell this error is. I’ve checked all my settings, read the FAQ, been through the “How to Resolve Configuration Errors” page and still no luck. Anyone have any ideas regarding this?

    Most common errors are:

    1) Change the email address in MAIL >> From so that it matches the domain where the Form is being sent from. For example:

    From: [your-name] <info@your-domain.com>
From: wordpress@your-domain.com

    2) Make the Subject field on the Form required(*) so that the user has to enter some text. For example:

    [text* your-subject]

    Thanks barnez. I wasted a good hour+ trying to figure all this out. Would have been nice for the developer to make all this clear.

    I got things working by making the changes you mention but also adding this to the Additional Settings tab…

    Sender: noreply@your-domain.com
    Reply-To: [your-name] <[your-email]>

    And the From: section is…

    [your-name] <noreply@your-domain.com>

    Maybe I don’t need the Additional Settings part anymore? But it’s working now so I’m not gonna mess with it.

    No problem. You should definitely leave Reply-To: [your-name] <[your-email]> in the Additional Settings field as that allows you to reply to the sender by hitting Reply in your email client. I would remove Sender: noreply@your-domain.com from the Additional Settings field as it don’t see that having much purpose.
