# Forms not Validating or Sending

 * The contact forms on my website are not sending or displaying any validation.
   When testing, I leave the fields blank and click submit, there is no validation
   or error messages. When I fill in the fields and click submit, nothing happens
   and there is no confirmation of the form being sent. It just refreshes the page.
   I have disabled my other plugins to isolate the problem and it is still the same.
   I have deleted the plugin via FTP and reinstalled it, still no change. I have
   placed contact form 7 forms on other sites without any problems. I’m not sure
   what I am doing wrong. I contacted my hosting provider and they have run tests
   on their server and everything is fine on their end. Is there something else 
   that I can try?
 * Thank you.

 * I am having the same problem! None of the contact form plugins that I have tried
   are working. Both my domain and my host providers say there is no error but no
   plugin will work for my site! The page refreshes and looks like it sent, but 
   I never get an email.

 * I even tried using an SMTP mail sender, and the test email works (confirming 
   that the SMTP plugin works) but the forms do not.

 * For me it was an issue with a Wordfence update. Turn off Wordfence and see if
   the contact form works. If so, there’s your culprit. It was mine. Then use this
   post to resolve your issue, it resolved mine: [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordfence-conflict/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordfence-conflict/)
