Dear Support Team,
For the following website (edit version, hence the subdomain) we have a problem with the contact form:
I have currently entered my own email as the recipient address so that I can check the functionality: And unfortunately the given contact form is not working:
– After filling it out, it does show me “Your message has been sent” in the browser, but I did not receive a confirmation email for my request (I also had it sent to a separate email of mine)
– And I have also not received an email that a request has been received.(previously we already had the problem with the contact form (see request https://kriesi.at/support/topic/contact-form-email-with-an-umlaut/) > but here it was clearly due to the umlaut “ü” >> therefore we have now changed the entire domain of the site to the new domain lebendigfuehlen.de)
What could be the reason for the contact form not working? Now we no longer have a problematic domain (no umlauts). Could you please help me? The site is otherwise ready and we would like to go online….
Many thanks and best regards, Diana

Best regards,
RikardDecember 15, 2024 at 2:33 pm #1473670Dear Rikard,
Thank you very much for the link. I have now tried various things, but unfortunately all previous attempts to get this ENFOLD contact form to work have failed. (I’m very surprised and a bit helpless, because I’ve never had this problem before (and I’ve been using ENFOLD for all my websites for almost 9 years now)
to the current status and what I have tried:
1. Typos and SPAM > Checked everything, checked with various email addresses
2. I tried the suggested changes in the function.phph-file, after it didn’t change anything, I removed the suggested code:
function change_cf_from() {
return “ (Email address hidden if logged out) ”
}
add_filter(‘avf_form_from’, ‘change_cf_from’, 10);3. I also tried installing the “Solid Mail” plugin without success and then uninstalled the plugin again.
4.Then: a new contact form from ENFOLD with standard settings integrated into a test page: see link: http://neu2025.lebendigfuehlen.de/home-test/#enfold
– As a test, my own email is entered here as the recipient for the contact form
– I have filled out the contact form and after pressing the “Send” button the message “Your message has been sent” appears >> see screenshot: enfold1.jpg. and enfold2.jpg.
>> !! BUT no message arrives! / There are also no messages blocked or in any SPAM folder, everything checked.5. Then I created a contact form via Contact form 7. See link: http://neu2025.lebendigfuehlen.de/home-test/#contact7
– Again, I filled out the contact form (see screenshot: contact7-1.jpg) and it WORKS.
>> Both emails (which I sent to different email addresses as a test) arrived – both the confirmation email to the author of the message and the notification to the recipient of the contact form: see screenshot: “contact7-2.jpg>> WHAT DOES THIS MEAN, that it works with Contact 7, but not with the ENFOLD theme?
The customer wants as few plugins as possible, so it would be important to make the ENFOLD contact form work as well.
Therefore, I would like to ask you: What can I do to make the above contact form from Enfold work: http://neu2025.lebendigfuehlen.de/home-test/#enfoldPlease help me further. I have never had this problem in all these years and really don’t know what to do.
Best regards Diana

Thank you for the update.
>> WHAT DOES THIS MEAN, that it works with Contact 7, but not with the ENFOLD theme?
This means that there’s an issue with the default contact form — there might be a conflict with another plugin or custom script. You may need to continue using the Contact Form 7 plugin for the time being. When you used the avf_form_from filter, did you update the site domain or URL to the actual site URL? Have you tried installing an SMTP plugin?

Thank you for your reply.
As the website should go online before Christmas, I have now integrated the contact form from Contact Form 7 for the main page and this works: https://lebendigfuehlen.de/#kontaktHowever, as I would generally prefer the ENFOLD contact form, I have created a duplicate of the page under the subdomain http://final.lebendigfuehlen.de/ in which the original ENFOLD contact form is displayed.
As further steps I have here times
– deactivated all other plugins – to check if this is the reason > but still does not work, still the same message “Your request has been sent” and then no emails arrive.
– what do you mean it could also be due to a custom script? Which script?I have now installed the “Solid Mail” plugin again in this test version and also added my test mail here, but this did not help either, the sending process dragged on indefinitely and nothing was sent. What else could I try?
Can you help me further? I’m really at a loss as to what the problem could be.
Best regards DianaDecember 20, 2024 at 4:53 am #1474031Hi,
Thank you for the inquiry.
– what do you mean it could also be due to a custom script? Which script?
Are there any custom scripts in your site? Have you tried disabling those temporarily while testing?
Have you tried testing this again on the live site with https or SSL installed? We may also need FTP access in order to properly debug the issue. Please include the FTP login details in the private field as well.
Best regards,
Ismael -
