In reply to: [WP Simple] Contact formI had similar issues (see other posts in this forum). In my case even though I saw the message saying that the message was sent, nothing actually got sent. If you look at the code you can see that success message just indicates that the mail function was executed but it doesn’t necessarily mean that the mail delivery was a success. I wasn’t able to get the existing setup to actually deliver mail using any of the theme settings. What eventually worked for me was installing and configuring an SMTP mail plugin (again, please see the other threads in this forum on this subject).
Hope that’s helpful….

In reply to: [WP Simple] Contact Form not workingI’m finally able to report a success here, unfortunately I can’t really explain what the root problem is/was, but how I worked around this was to try many (about 1/2 dozen) different mail plugins before finally having one work. The one that worked for me was Easy WP SMTP. I don’t want to list the ones that didn’t work because it may very well be that I was doing something wrong with them myself, so I don’t want to impugn them.
It’s not clear if anyone actually reads and responds to posts in this forum, but if you do and have any additional light to shed on this, please do post here. I am new to WordPress so anxious to learn the types of things that can go wrong and how to resolve them.

In reply to: [WP Simple] contact formI struggled with this for a while myself (see my post to this forum from a few days ago). I tried using several mail plugins to resolve it before finally finding one today that worked for me called Easy WP SMTP. This was all very frustrating, but I’m very new to WordPress in general so maybe this is just the way it is with WP in general. Anyway, give it a try and see if it works for you. Be sure to deactivate other email plugins if you have them, because they are likely to interfere with each other.
good luck and please post here if it does work for you. I’m kind of curious if this type of problem is general, or maybe specific to my particular setup.

In reply to: [WP Simple] Contact Form not workingI’m pretty sure my problem is that my hosting service does not have php mail configured. So I’m attempting to use mailgun. I’ve installed the plugin for it and am going through the process of setting up my DNS and mailgun account. Will see if this works once all the DNS stuff settles into place…
