 * Every time I try to submit the contact form, it shows me the message “Failed 
   to send your message. Please try later or contact the administrator by other 
   method. You can see the error if you try to submit the form on this page: [http://www.chelsea-tech.com/?page_id=10905](http://www.chelsea-tech.com/?page_id=10905).
   It used to work when I first downloaded the plugin but now it does not. I updated
   my WordPress theme to 4.0, I uninstalled and re-installed the contact form 7 
   plug-in and created a new contact form, but it still does not work. Please help
   me.

 * That post does not help me. I tried everything and it still won’t work. It tells
   me to contact the server admin. I configured the website myself…would I be the
   server admin?

   There is a link at the bottom of the page to a comprehensive and detailed article
   which covers your issue. Most people that work through this information appear
   to be able to resolve their email sending & receiving issues.

 * ​​Probably not. More likely to be your hosting provider.
