hi guys yes so this is just a quick video on the really simple fix for contact form 7 when your emails are not being delivered as they should be might not be the solution if not you might have to keep searching but I found particularly on the GoDaddy hosting for some reason

the emails are we standing here my contact form 7 webforms we’re just not being delivered to my email inbox didn’t seem to matter what email I was using that I was using a dedicated email or GoDaddy or email or Gmail so I was pulling my hair out and then I found out that crucially for certain hosting providers it seems you need to have a subject

a specific subject in the subject section of the contact form now how many contact details you might not have a subject you probably have left at 6 so you might just have it is they default unfortunately if the user does not into the subject often the email will not be delivered for some reason these on GoDaddy it just does not like not having a subject title that says right when I’m not delivering that technically that’s that’s the long and the short of the matter so what you do just basically got your dashboard contact phone

where is the subject change where it says the default your subject and type something in there so

email from

contact

and then say that

and now I know for a fact that on GoDaddy hosting this this could well be the problem I’m not sure about other ones but this is my experience so change the subject to something you can leave it blank but make it the required field because that has to be something in there other than they default your subject to me I just put something like email from contact with you know anyway I hope that fix Works chess
