Contact form not sending auto-reply emails

Hi,
When I test the above function with the autoresponder on I find that it is sending the autoresponder email, but the “to” address is the one in the function instead of the from field address of the visitor. The emails are probably going to your spam folder.
I found a way around it by editing your \wp-content\themes\enfold\framework\php\class-form-generator.php file if you would like to try.
Go to line 862, above:

			$from = urldecode( $from );
			$from = apply_filters("avf_form_from", $from, $new_post, $this->form_params);

and add:

$from1 = " (Email address hidden if logged out) ";

then go to line 925 and change:

					$header .= 'From: '. $from . " <".$from."> \r\n";
					wp_mail($send_to_mail, $subject, $message, $header);
				}
				else
				{
					$header .= 'From:'. $from . " \r\n";
					mail($send_to_mail, $subject, $message, $header);

to:

					$header .= 'From: '. $from1 . " <".$from1."> \r\n";
					wp_mail($send_to_mail, $subject, $message, $header);
				}
				else
				{
					$header .= 'From:'. $from1 . " \r\n";
					mail($send_to_mail, $subject, $message, $header);

Hi,
To apply this to your child theme, copy the \wp-content\themes\enfold\framework\php\class-form-generator.php file to your child theme folder, then make the edits above, and find following line at the top file:

<?php  if (  ! defined( 'AVIA_FW' ) ) exit( 'No direct script access allowed' );

and change it to

<?php 

then add following line to functions.php file of your child theme

require( 'class-form-generator.php' );

Best regards,
Mike

Hey!

Awesome! Glad @Mike helped. When you have the time, please remove the modifications temporarily then use these filters instead.

add_filter('avf_form_from', 'avf_form_from_mod', 10, 3);
function avf_form_from_mod($from, $new_post, $form_params) {
	global $enfold_custom_from_header;
	$enfold_custom_from_header = $from;
	$from = " (Email address hidden if logged out) ";
	return $from;
}

add_filter('avf_form_autoresponder_from', 'avf_form_autoresponder_from_mod', 10, 3);
function avf_form_autoresponder_from_mod($from, $new_post, $form_params) {
	global $enfold_custom_from_header;
	return $enfold_custom_from_header;
}

Hi,

@TEZ-CV I have tested @Ismael filters and find they work no my test server, please try for yourself and let us know if it works for you.
This will be a better solution than the edited file I posted.

@martin_e83 please try the filter above and let us know if it works for you, after we have some feedback we can post to the dev team for their review. I would also suggest requesting this feature on the Enfold feature request form so others can vote on this to demonstrate it’s popularity. This is where the dev team looks for new features and improvements.

Best regards,
Mike

Hi,

That is the disadvantage of using these filters. Your domain’s email address is use as the “from” address to tell your mail server that the source is trustworthy. Have you tried setting up a SMTP instead of using the filters? Please ask your hosting provider if they can set your mail server to accept third party email addresses with SMTP.

Best regards,
Ismael
