    Hi.

    I tried to find a answer in the forum, but i couldn’t find it. I’m using this theme in a GoDaddy server, i din’t modified any PHP regarding this function and I can’t send an email via contact form.

    I tried to install WP-Mail SMTP, in the test email function it works, I receive the test, but via contact form…

    I’m using the latest version of the theme and the WordPress.

    I always get the red cross and no email.

    Could you help me?

    The php mail() function must be enabled in your server, you can check it by contacting your host.
    And please deactivated all your plugins and try it again.

    Hello,

    I am facing the very same problem. Did contact my host, they told me that by default the php mail() function is disabled and suggested me to install WP-Mail SMTP as I did.

    Now I can receive the test email but the contact form is still not working.

    In the same host I have more sites and they all work correctly.

    Please help, not losing contacts is essential for my site.

    Hello,

    Just did it, still the same results.
    Please note that I have the following SMTP options:

    1. Send all WordPress emails via SMTP.
    2. Use the PHP mail() function to send emails.

    I can receive test mails with options 1 but not with option 2.
    As I mentioned on my previous message my host has disabled the PHP mail() function but the rest of my sites work fine with option 1.

    Any help would be very appreciated.
    Thanks.

    The theme uses PHP mail() function and it is disabled on your server by the host. So you can use Contact Form 7 plugin alternatively.

    I thought of using Contact Form 7, but I will need to struggle with the styling in order to make it consistent with the rest of the theme.

    The PHP mail() function is usually abused by third parties..
    So there are no plans for the theme to use SMTP?

    Please create a new topic for some css styling for the Contact Form 7.
