# WP Forms not working

 * Hi Jess
 * WP Forms was working fine for me till I installed a second copy of the same form
   on a separate page last week, and now neither of the forms work – i.e. users 
   can enter details and press the submit button, but the details disappear into
   the ether – they don’t appear in my inbox like they used to.
 * I have the WP Mail SMTP plugin installed (even though it worked fine previously
   without it), but still no joy.
 * I have checked with the hosting provider, and there seem to be no problems at
   their end.
 * Any suggestions apart from a re-install? I tried to remove (uncheck) CAPTCHA 
   in case that was causing any problems, but it didn’t help.
 * Form is here: [http://ellconmeet.org/registration-and-payment/registration-payment-volunteers/](http://ellconmeet.org/registration-and-payment/registration-payment-volunteers/)
 * Many thanks for your time!

 * Hi Jess
 * I sorted this by deactivating WP Mail SMTP plugin – strangely this worked and
   now the forms are all working fine. Seems to be some conflict between the two
   plugins.

 * Hi flowerscat,
 * We don’t have any conflicts between WPForms and WP Mail SMTP, however there are
   tons of factors that contribute to sending emails (server settings, email provider
   settings/rules, code on your site, etc) — and it’s not uncommon for those to 
   cause odd or unexpected issues.
 * If you’d like to troubleshoot this further, would you please re-activate WP Mail
   SMTP and send a test email through it? Then, you could share the debug output
   here (this is the most informative part for us). If you’d also be willing to 
   share a screenshot of your SMTP settings, that’s helpful as well.
 * Thanks, and please let me know 🙂

 * Hi pablobe,
 * When you get a chance, would you please send a test email through WP Mail SMTP
   and then share the debug log here? This will help us to see more details, such
   as which mailer you’re using and what errors are being displayed.
 * If you’d be willing to start a new thread, that may help to avoid confusion as
   well.
 * Thanks! 🙂

 * I am currently having issued with my contact form as well. Please advise how 
   to fix the contact form as it is currently showing up as the following on my 
   website:
 * [contact-form-7 404 “Not Found”]
 * Please advise, thank you!

 * Hi mollycoughlan,
 * The shortcode you shared is for Contact Form 7 — but this forum is for WPForms.
   If you have any questions about WPForms, we’ll be happy to help! 🙂

 * Jess – how do you create and share a debug output?

 * Hi flowerscat,
 * I’m sorry I wasn’t more clear about that! To get a debug log, you’ll need to 
   go to **Settings** > **WP Mail SMTP**, then click the **Email** tab ([shown in this screenshot](http://cloud.supportally.com/030w3T3x1X37)).
 * Then enter a valid email address (one that you’d be able to check), and click
   the **Send Email** button.
 * If the email sends successfully, you’ll simply receive [a short success message](http://cloud.supportally.com/3W0Y1Q3w2p1V).
   If it doesn’t, though, you’ll see a longer debug output on this page instead.
 * Either way, anything you see on this page after sending the test email will help
   me to assist 🙂
 * Also, in case it helps we have tutorials on all of the Mailer options for WP 
   Mail SMTP (these include the full setup process, as well as the test email process).
   [Here’s our doc with links to those separate tutorials](https://wpforms.com/docs/how-to-set-up-smtp-using-the-wp-mail-smtp-plugin/#how-to-fix),
   as well as additional details about SMTP. I hope that helps!

 * Hi all,
 * We haven’t seen any activity on this thread for a while, so I’m going to go ahead
   and close it for now.
 * If anyone who’s posted still needs help, though, please feel free to continue
   the conversation and we’ll go from there.
 * Thanks! 🙂

 * Jess – haven’t forgotten about the debug log, but don’t want to mess about with
   the forms now that registration is ongoing. Once it closes, I’ll post the report
   here. I have your instructions saved 🙂 Thank you for your help, and the plugins!

 * Hi mezzatesta,
 * I haven’t seen this error before, however it seems likely that there’s a plugin
   or theme code conflict. This most often happens when a plugin’s code isn’t properly
   contained, and so ends up overflowing into pages for other plugins.
 * The best way to quickly find the source of the issue is by following [WPBeginner’s troubleshooting tutorial](http://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/beginners-guide-to-troubleshooting-wordpress-errors-step-by-step/).
   This will allow you to track down the source of the error, and the tutorial shows
   you every step you’ll need.
 * I hope this helps! 🙂

 * Hi Jess,
    thanks for the response, will surely try with the troubleshooting.
 * Cheers,
