 * Hi,
 * I have been using this plugin on my site for quite some time and it recently 
   stopped working. When clicking on the send button I get: Failed to send your 
   message. Please try later or contact the administrator by another method.
 * The plugin is up do date, as well as my version of WordPress. [http://www.rendezvousmusic.net/my-event/](http://www.rendezvousmusic.net/my-event/)
 * What could I be missing? Please help 🙂

 * I’ve tried several options from the resources you provide and nothing seems to
   work. See screenshot of my settings at this link: [http://www.treacymarketing.com/clients/rendezvous/rendezvous_form_020216.png](http://www.treacymarketing.com/clients/rendezvous/rendezvous_form_020216.png).
   And again, here is a link to my current site: [http://www.rendezvousmusic.net/my-event/](http://www.rendezvousmusic.net/my-event/)
 * The funny thing is I’m working on a new version of this site and I have a staging
   site on the same server. The contact email is the same, and it is also using 
   Contact Form 7. The form on the staging site works, but it doesn’t on the other
   site even though I have the same settings set for both forms. This is a link 
   to the staging site: [http://dev.rendezvousmusic.net/contact-us/](http://dev.rendezvousmusic.net/contact-us/)
 * Any thoughts?

 * Your form setup looks fine. It sounds like you might have something blocking 
   sending of emails on your live site. Contact your host – let them know that same
   form is working on staging site.

 * There was nothing wrong on the hosting side.
 * I deleted it and re-installed it (not just deactivate/activate) and it worked.
 * Thanks for your help!

 * i’m having the same problem. When I eliminated Akismet i was able to send an 
   email through another account. Is something in akismet blocking the emails?
