[@feyzanurefsanyilmaz8126]

This is an amazing video. Thanks Matt! I think I did everything in your video in order. But I have questions. First, I did not receive any email when I filled out the form. It does not work. Where could I have gone wrong? Secondly, how can I change the typography and color of the labels? And I want to set some labels side by side, how can I do this?

[@WPressDoctor]

Hi Feyza, thanks for the kind words. I'm glad you like the video! Well you have to make sure that WordPress is sending emails out. So if you can receive for example Password reset emails. If it is not, follow this guide: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fajQnItsr66gjdk if it does, than make sure that the sender of the form is also the exact email address as your domainname.

[@nagibabse2301]

Thank you for this Tutorial, It’s really useful I have a question please. How I can add a new field for Cc or Bcc, should I follow the same instruction that you showed when you added the email field or there is another method?

[@WPressDoctor]

Hi there! You are very welcome. To use CC and BCC fields you can create 'additional headers'. Its very well explained on this page: wpdebuglog.com/contact-form-7-additional-headers/ I hope that helps!

[@TheNyuszus]

Excellent video, easy to follow, detailed and very helpful. 👏 Many thanks for it ❤️ I have only one question regarding this topic: when I test it the auto reply email keeps ending up in the spam folder. Any tips on fixing that?

[@WPressDoctor]

Hi there! You are very welcome! Thanks for the kind words, I really appreciate it. So can you check if the website is sending from a email address that ends with your domain name?

[@TheNyuszus]

@WPressDoctor Thank you so much for taking the time to answer my question. Yes, I doublechecked it, the website is sending from an email ending with the same domain name. I just realised that the reason might be that I tested the contact form before adding reCapcha and it marked the email as spam and now it keeps ending up in the spam folder regardless that I added reCapcha. I tried it with different email addresses and they all arrive in the main inbox, only the original one keeps going to spam. So I assume it is working correctly now. Interestingly the KZbin notification email about your answer ended up also in spam.

[@WPressDoctor]

Thanks for the reply! Ah ok, so it could be that email address which is not working properly… glad you figured it out! Have a great day 😀

[@AWL-xq6ho]

Really a great video. Unfortunately for me, I am terrible at written instructions and it is difficult at times to find good videos that I can understand Great job! - However, it is not working. so I must have missed something. Here is my error message after sending a test contact form. "There was an error trying to send your message. Please try again later."

[@WPressDoctor]

Hi there! Thanks for the kind words, really appreciate it! First you have to check if your website can send emails , so that it’s not wordpress itself. To do that you can let Wordpress send you a “password reset” email, and see if that email comes through. Let me know if that does!

[@WPressDoctor]

Hi there! Thanks for the question. You could try to use a placeholder per field? contactform7.com/setting-placeholder-text/ try this 😀👍🏻

[@LaIsladelCaribeNJ]

How about playing with the layout. I don't like everything stacked. For instance, I would Like *First Name* and *Last name* to be to boxes on the same row. Then maybe Phone and email on the next row, next to each other, and so on. I don't like every box to be on a single row because it takes a lot of vertical space and wastes a lot of horizontal space

[@WPressDoctor]

Hi there! Thanks for the comment! Yeah that’s really true, I would do the same. Just go the end of the video where I explain this 😀

[@bethmantis]

Super video! Certainly best I've seen on Contact Form 7. Do you recommend reCaptcha or Akismit or another one for avoiding spam?

[@WPressDoctor]

Thanks! That’s really nice of you! Appreciate it. I think reCaptcha works till a certain level but Akismet takes all the spam away, so the combination would be best 👍🏻😀

Hi Jelena! You are very welcome! I’m glad the video was useful. Flamingo is a very basic add-on but when changing another form to flamingo_subject: "[the-subject-field]" to another subject, it might just work and you can see which is which...

[@JpDiet]

Hi there, it's amazing tutorial but am stock. When setting up mail. (From) says Sender email address does not belong to the domain. Please what will I do?

[@WPressDoctor]

Hi there! Well that depends on your email address, it has to end to the same domainname. If thats not possible of you can't do it, you should try to use kzbin.info/www/bejne/fajQnItsr66gjdk to connect your WordPress website with another email platform. Does that help you out?

[@garthyscreativeroom]

Hello Matt, thank you very much for the really great and helpful video (and really great explained in a cheerful relaxed way) ;) Everything worked for me so far. However, the text at "acceptance" appears in white, which is stupid because my background is white ;) Even the text that is in the green frame when the message has been successfully sent appears in white. I tried as many as possible, but nothing worked. An idea? Thank you very much for your feedback and best regards. Jens

[@WPressDoctor]

Hi Jens! Thanks for your question. If you are using the plugin to style Contact Form 7, it should work? Else you can always go to change it manually using some custom CSS...

Thank you so much excellent tutorial very helpful. I did all the steps and stuck at the first step. The contact request does not arrive to the e-mail address. When I press the send button on the contact form, it gives an error and the contact request does not go through. How can I solve it?

Thanks for this. When I installed reCAPTCHA like you outlined it shows the badge on all pages. Is there a way to only show it on the form page?

[@DigitalAdamTech]

@@WPressDoctor Thanks for the CSS. Have you noticed when you run your site through some performance metrics, that those scripts for that version of reCaptcha really reduces it?

Hello, can someone please help me: I use Contact Form 7, but when I submit the form, it appears "This field is requiered" in every field even when I already put the correct values. I don't know what could be wrong with the form. Thanks. Also, this is a great tutorial for beginners! Thank you so much!!

[@WPressDoctor]

Hi there and thanks for the question! That does not sounds good. Do you have fields with the exact same name? That also causes this error...

[@Demacry1234]

Hi @@WPressDoctor , sorry for the late response and thank you very much for commenting. I already checked and I don't have any field with the same name. In fact, I did some tests and I realized that it only happens when I attach a file that exceeds the limit. The strange thing is that I already set the limit to 8MB and for some reason the form still allows it to be uploaded, instead of generating the programmed response for those cases; and when submitting the form the message "This field is required" appears in all fields

[@WPressDoctor]

Ah ok. It could be be caused by the file limit of WordPress self and not by the limit set by CF7

Example: They choose "2 days" Then the user should get a text block like "If you stay 2 days, the price will be different..." You know what I mean?

Hi Werner! Thanks for your question. I sure know what you mean! This sounds like you can fix this with conditional logic. So when the user fills in 1 day, he gets another response email from you than when he fills in 2 days.

Hi Christyolevia Jupirin, thanks for your question. I don't know about that! It could be because of the theme you are working with...

[@napasaa]

@@WPressDoctor noted.. will check it later. anyway, thanks a lot..

for some reason this does not work, its saying error on the email section ( 2 errors ) on the MAIL tab. Although the email number is the same, its saying it is an error. On your example it is showing as [email-513] ours is showing a different 3 numbers, but those numbers are the same on the FORM tab, the MAIL tab in the "Additional headers" Reply-To: [email-513] in the Mail2 area in the TO has the same email syntax, yet it still refuses to remove the 2 errors, although they are identical which was created when the email tab thing was created in the FORM tab. how to get rid of them 2 error when there is no error ?

[@WPressDoctor]

Hi there! Thanks for the question! Well if if all fields exactly match your form fields, and the email addresses are correct (same domain) all should be good 🤔

Hi, how to add payment method in form 7

[@WPressDoctor]

Hi there! I think this plugin might help! wordpress.org/plugins/contact-form-7-paypal-add-on/ I have never tried this one myself, so take a look and let me know if this works! 😀👍🏻

[@Mr-Safology]

9:59 setting up the emails. Can I use the same email address for both to and from? Or do I create 2 separate emails from my hosting provider? Thank you, as my contact form is showing errors.

[@WPressDoctor]

Hi there! You can use the same emails for sent as from, as long as that is the same email address for the domain your putting the form on. What errors are you having?

[@Mr-Safology]

@@WPressDoctor Thank you for responding. Yes, I used the same 1 email address for both the "to"and "from."When I tested my form, it gives me this message in a red box :"There was an error trying to send your message. Please try again later." What should I do? Thank you.

[@WPressDoctor]

Well it can be a lot of things. Is your hosting enabling you to send emails from Wordpress for example?

[@Mr-Safology]

@@WPressDoctor Finally got it to work. The SMTP was the issue, Hostinger provided a plugin and all info needed. Perfect and thank you for helping. ☺

[@WPressDoctor]

Ah ok! Then it was a hosting problem 👍🏻😀 I’m glad you figured it out! Well done!

Hi, how to add payment method

[@WPressDoctor]

Hi again! Just try this plugin: wordpress.org/plugins/contact-form-7-paypal-add-on/ let me know if that works for you!

[@theslizzz]

Hii, there was showing an error message like "There was an error trying to send your message. Please try again later." and am using localhost, first of all i just created a landing page and included contact form 7 for the sign-up form. and i just want a thank message after successful form submission..!! Please reply Me ASAP!

[@WPressDoctor]

Hi there! Thanks for the question about the Contact Form 7 tutorial! First I need to ask if you are on a live website or developing offline?

[@theslizzz]

Developing offline, need to host that using inifinityfree

[@theslizzz]

@@WPressDoctor no, am just created that in offline, need to host that using infinityfree

[@theslizzz]

@@WPressDoctor please reply me asap

[@WPressDoctor]

Then wait until you have launched, because the Contact Form 7 plugin does not like to be used offline. You should then connect it to a SMTP server if you REALLY want to get it to work....

Nice. But how to stop emails from spam folder.

[@WPressDoctor]

Hi Vishal! Well that's easy, make sure your DKIM and SPF DNS records are correct and send from a email that is that exact domainname 😊

[@jeffreyclarke7154]

How do I override the contact form tell that’s already on the website

[@WPressDoctor]

Hi Jeffrey! Thank you for your question. Can you help me out a little bit, what do you want to achieve with Contact Form 7?

[@jeffreyclarke7154]

@ well the template I’m using now for the business has a contact form built into it but I can’t set it up with the actual email like the contact form 7 I built the contact form 7 and was hoping to replace the contact form in the site already but it’s just adding the contact form 7 on my contact page with the built in contact form that’s already there I’m okay with keeping what there if I can have it auto respond and maybe show the senders email in the message so I can have a way to respond

[@LosAngelesPrivateInvestigator]

Always amazing content. However, i'm still getting slammed with spam/bot etc. (and yes, I see the little recaptcha badge but I still get it). I had to add a math equation to my form in order to cut the bots off. Two plus five sort of thing.

[@WPressDoctor]

Hi there! Oh wauw some persistent boys on your website 🤔 yeah boys are getting smarter and smarter. With AI I guess we won’t be able to stop spam automatically at all at some point…

Doc, where’s your doctor outfit? Lol

Yeah I get rid of it. Statistics show that more people keep watching when I don't wear it hahaha 😂

[@rap__pay7189]

Why u didn't show how we add payment method on the contact form 7

[@WPressDoctor]

Hi there! Thanks for the question. Because I never used payment methods on my Contact Form 7 plugin before. I think there are some tutorials of that... what do you want people to pay for?

[@noorularfeen743]

How do we customize it?

[@WPressDoctor]

Hi Noor, that’s a good question! I’ll add it to my video list to create another video about it 😀 Stay tuned! Have a great day!

[@noorularfeen743]

@@WPressDoctor I have now watched your half of video tutorial about Gravity Form, this is quite advance and useful. I hope I will be able it to customise it also. Thank you ❤️ from Pakistan 🇵🇰 : Eid Mubarak

[@WPressDoctor]

Yes you can with a simple plugin (premium).

[@spkendrick]

this doesnt work for me :( the captcha part

[@WPressDoctor]

Hi there! Thats unfortunate. Do you use any caching plugins? That might be the issue here…

[@spkendrick]

actually discovered i was using elementor contact form and not wp contact form, so i had to add recaptcha through elementor settings.

[@WPressDoctor]

Haha yeah that’s not gonna work 😎 Glad you figured it out! Have a great day and stay safe!

[@derekshort]

I think you’re doing it wrong. 🤔I don't think [text etc. ] contact form code is supposed to go between the label tags.

[@derekshort]

Never mind. You fix it later. Lol

[@WPressDoctor]

Haha you have seen that correct Derek, keen as ever 👍🏻😀 yeah I was a bit confused by all the label stuff, a bit not user friendly imo. But hey who is complaining, it’s free 🤓
