• I’m using your most current version but these items are showing up. How can I fix them?

    This is what’s in there but still it says Syntax errors.

    [first-name] [last-name] [email] [tel-541]
    This field has syntax errors.

  • Hi,

    I will need you to clarify what you mean by saying they won’t show up. From what you showed me, the form shouldn’t work.

    It should be as follows:

    [text first-name] [text last-name] [email email] [tel telephone]

    You have to define the element it will be, then you include the name. You essentially only defined the names.

    Please let me know if you need more clarification!
    Sincerely,
    Blake Morris

    On the Mail tab, then From I have this

    [your-name] [your-email]
    This field has syntax errors.

    Why? Should I have the same email address in this field as what’ in the To field?

    Try putting a space between each. [your-name] [your-email]
    Thanks

    What you just sent me is exactly the same code I sent you. No difference. Space where?

    The only way the error message goes away is to put a valid email address in that field so I put the same one in the From as there is the To field. Is that correct?

    No, technically it is from wordpress@your-website.com.

    For instance my contact forms say the from address is wordpress@greenteam760.com.

    That is the default.
    I would try doing that. If you want to know the e-mail address of who it is from… put it in the “subject” field.

    Subject: [your-name] [your-email]

    So the From field should read
    wordpress@my-website-domain-name.com
    and not the email address that’s in the To field?
