Some troubles with Contact Form 7 plugin

First case: After migrating my site to Bluehost hosting I found that contact form opening from the main menu pad “Contact us” does not work. I got following error message:
“There was an error trying to send your message. Please try again later.”
Unluckily I could do nothing inspite of all my attemps including installations of additional mail plugins.
Small article by Glyn Morris, studied at Edinburgh Napier University helped me to fix the issue. I just had to downgrade Contact Form 7 plugin to the previous version. Here is link from this article to the explicit description of the case https://www.ewallzsolutions.com/how-to-downgrade-contact-form-7-fix-ajax-problem/
One more case: My customer has non commercial site on InfinityFree hosting. As for me InfinityFree is the best free hosting. But not far ago InfinityFree has stopped it’s email service. It is sad especially if the site was working for two years and you have no wish to rebuild old version of the site. But the good news are that Contact Form 7 plugin can still work though with some restrictions. Here you can find the nessary settings of Contact Form 7 plugin. In my case I managed to fix the problem after I have changed the “To field” and “From field” both to Gmail addresses. You should simply ignore cofiguration error “Sender email address does not belong to the site domain.The validation doesn’t affect behavior of a contact form at all, even if it detects configuration errors. But this trick in my case works only with Gmail addresses. So good luck!

  1. I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own blog and was wondering what all is needed to get set up? I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny? I’m not very internet savvy so I’m not 100 sure. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks

  2. Please note, this shortcode means that Contact Form 7 plugin, used in our demo, is not installed on your WordPress instance. So, just install it, and if necessary (still no form on site), navigate to page containing this contact form, locate and edit it, in combobox choose the one existing. Save and check your site.
