I have reviewed all the documentation and have tried all the methods you have posted.
I have setup WP Mail SMTP Lite using the Gmail option. I sent a test email which was received successfully. When I try to use the “drop me a line” form on the homepage, nothing happens when I click submit.
I have tried every option conceivable over the past few days. I need assistance getting this basic function to run.
However it has broken the page layout. The map and the border between the map and form and the blocks above are messed up.
Also, I am now getting spammed severely as there is zero protection on that form enabled.
I created a new form in contact 7 and tried implementing it, and the layout of the form is not displaying like the one you activated. I assume you have added styling specific to the default contact form.
I appreciate the assistance, but this result is not acceptable, as I am getting spammed and the layout is broken.
