I am running Wordpress 3.8.1 and am using contact form 7, there are no settings for SMTP that I can find but it's not sending messages. I get no error and it says it was sent successfully.
I'm not sure what "Contact Form 7" uses as the SMTP service by default. But, if you're getting a message that it was sent successfully did you really get the message? Have you tried sending to an outside email address like Gmail to see if the message is received? I was able to find this web page article here: http://cool-tricks.net/contact-form-7-configuration/#configuration-of-wp-mail-smtp It refers you to install another plug in: http://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-mail-smtp/ That plug in will allow you to set up your SMTP settings for the WordPress application.
First, it is important to know if you modified permalinks to a custom structure you had to create a custom error page to work to the following path: wp-404-handler.php If this is the case you first have to modify Contact Form 7 classes.php changing the following line: $url = wpcf7_get_request_uri(); to $url = '/index.php/'.parse_url($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']); For many the following articles and suggestions have worked, however for me I still have the same issue. I tried several others SMTP plugins in conjunction with Contact Form 7 plugin. The only plugin I was able to get a test email sent out was with Cimy Swift SMTP however I could not get the Contact Form 7 to send. I tested the same configurations on same server type on Godaddy without using SMTP plugin and it worked but I had to install a Form Mailer script to get Contact Form 7 that they provide in their control panel. Does DiscountASP.net have something similar or another workaround? Lastly when I hit send on the Contact Form 7 I do not get an error the two arrows just spin around.
I decided to copy the script that Godaddy uses and removed the SMTP plugin. Now I can send email through Contact Form 7 with a successful green message however I am not receiving the email. I believe I am not writing the correct server path. I modified the server path on the webformmailer.php script from: $formhomedir = preg_replace('/.*\/home\/content/','',$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']); $formhomedir = explode('/',$formhomedir); if (count($formhomedir) <= 4) { $formhome="/home/content/".$formhomedir[1]."/".$formhomedir[2]."/data/"; } else { $formhome="/home/content/".$formhomedir[1]."/".$formhomedir[2]."/".$formhomedir[3]."/".$formhomedir[4]."/data/"; } to $formhomedir = preg_replace('/.*\/web\/username/htdocs/','',$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']); $formhomedir = explode('/',$formhomedir); if (count($formhomedir) <= 4) { $formhome="/web/username/htdocs/".$formhomedir[1]."/".$formhomedir[2]."/data/"; } else { $formhome="/web/username/htdocs/".$formhomedir[1]."/".$formhomedir[2]."/".$formhomedir[3]."/".$formhomedir[4]."/data/"; } Replacing "username" with my account username. Is this correct???
