Title: Configuration errors Last modified: August 31, 2016 --- # Configuration errors * Resolved [enricolino](https://wordpress.org/support/users/enricolino/) * (@enricolino) * [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/configuration-errors-2/) * Hello guys, * I need a help, if possible. It was a while I had not updated a site I made and now that I upgraded all plugins etc, this CF7 shows two errors! I am running a multilanguage site ([http://www.phototourism.info](http://www.phototourism.info)) and the errors of this form seem to be on the setting. The errors shown are: * From: [your-name] <[your-email]> This email address does not belong to the same domain as the site. * Subject: [your-subject] This field can be empty depending on user input. * Can anyone please help? * Thanks * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/contact-form-7/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/contact-form-7/) Viewing 14 replies - 1 through 14 (of 14 total) * [eselby](https://wordpress.org/support/users/eselby/) * (@eselby) * [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/configuration-errors-2/#post-7103414) * I had to recreate 3 forms – every one had a configuration error. The recreated forms (using exactly the same syntax) validated. But none of them actually send * Thread Starter [enricolino](https://wordpress.org/support/users/enricolino/) * (@enricolino) * [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/configuration-errors-2/#post-7103416) * You mean to say I only need to recreate them in order to fix the error problem? None of yours send? Mine seem to work even if displaying errors….. * [herooftheday77](https://wordpress.org/support/users/herooftheday77/) * (@herooftheday77) * [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/configuration-errors-2/#post-7103444) * Hi, * i got the same error message on at least 5 different WordPress installations. I had no problems running the forms or the plugin before. * What the heck was happening on the last plugin update..? * This error messages are confusing my clients. * greetings Michael * [mtvoyd](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mtvoyd/) * (@mtvoyd) * [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/configuration-errors-2/#post-7103512) * The persistent configuration errors message is not useful. Once, great. Every time I go to add a post, not great. I echo the concern about client confusion. * We should be able to turn this off. * [recapit](https://wordpress.org/support/users/recapit/) * (@recapit) * [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/configuration-errors-2/#post-7103527) * Same here. Configuration errors. Email address does belong to same domain, but the errors keep coming back. What happened and when will it be fixed? * [m266](https://wordpress.org/support/users/m266/) * (@m266) * [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/configuration-errors-2/#post-7103560) * This error message * Subject: [your-subject] This field can be empty depending on user input. * can resolve with: * Subject: “[your-subject]” * HTH * [talgat](https://wordpress.org/support/users/talgat/) * (@talgat) * [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/configuration-errors-2/#post-7103564) * Hello! * How to make next condition? If [your-subject] is empty then use a default subject. * I can do it by hook in functions.php. But maybe there is exists a simple way like [your-subject default=”My default subject”] on ‘Mail’ tab? It will allow to leave [your-subject] as optional. * Regards, Talgat * Thread Starter [enricolino](https://wordpress.org/support/users/enricolino/) * (@enricolino) * [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/configuration-errors-2/#post-7103681) * Hello guys, * I found a good solution and most of all, a good link with interesting fix for e-mail errors. You can check out this [http://kb.cf7skins.com/contact-form-7-email-issues/](http://kb.cf7skins.com/contact-form-7-email-issues/)….. * Anyway, on the “From” field you can simply put [noreply@yourdomain.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/configuration-errors-2/noreply@yourdomain.com?output_format=md) where “yourdomain” is obviously your domain name, and this will fix the error! * Cheers * [david](https://wordpress.org/support/users/davidroose/) * (@davidroose) * [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/configuration-errors-2/#post-7103687) * I’m getting the same config errors as everyone else: * > From [your-email] <[your-email]> > This email address does not belong to the > same domain as the site. * This doesn’t make much sense to me since the FROM email address is the sender’s email, so it should not be my domain/my email address. Someone above suggested a no-reply email, but in theory it should be the sender’s email. * [WebDragon](https://wordpress.org/support/users/webdragon/) * (@webdragon) * [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/configuration-errors-2/#post-7103690) * the from conflict is hitting us because we are also on a devel.* subdomain as well as the primary domain, so we can test things before going live, and I believe it’s comparing the ENTIRE domain uri rather than just the TLD to that of the email. * [murphytwin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/murphytwin/) * (@murphytwin) * [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/configuration-errors-2/#post-7103695) * How is this marked as resolved? I’m using: * From [your-email] <[your-email]> * And getting the same problem. How can this be a configuration error if the email is the email of the user? * [cweb2cu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cweb2cu/) * (@cweb2cu) * [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/configuration-errors-2/#post-7103698) * This new change is pissing me off! How can the “FROM” email address possess the site’s domain name if it’s coming from the “SENDER?” * [ericsyd](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ericsyd/) * (@ericsyd) * [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/configuration-errors-2/#post-7103699) * It’s not resolved, the error remains and it is not the WordPress update that caused the conflict as we updated WordPress first, before updating CF7, and CF7 worked fine in the interim. We have reloaded CF7 4.3.1 and we are back in business. Does anyone use a good contact form plugin ? * [mikesoto](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mikesoto/) * (@mikesoto) * [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/configuration-errors-2/#post-7103700) * Hi All I found this solution and it worked for me.
