check the thread, have you edited the plugin correctly?

I thought I had, but maybe I'm missing something. I changed Contact_form to Contact, but there was something about a return that I didn't really understand.

I'll take another look and see if I can figure it out.

wait a minute: the plugin is called plugin.contact_form.php, not plugin.Contact_form
the uppercase C changes the name of the file, either change the filename or change the call, it must be exact

Duh, I'm an idiot! :-p

Got it working now.

Sorry 'bout that.

Thanks for all the help!

Ok. So now it looks ok (at least for now until I re-style it), but I don't actually get an email or any of the responses (function is_spam... function thank_you... etc).

What did I miss?

Just saw that I missed changing the second Contact_form to Contact, so now I am getting the response functions just fine, but still not receiving any email.

Wait, got it. Just took a few minutes.

It works! Amazing! I am the greatest web designer of all time!!!!

...well, maybe not that last part.

Anyway, thanks for all your patience and help.

One last thing, but not sure if this is the right thread for this post.

I have my contact page working now, but I would like the section heading "Contact" to be the link to the contact page. At the moment it is in the page "Contact" under the section "Contact" which is a little repetitive and redundant.

your answer may be in this tutorial

good topic!

is it possible to feed mailchimp with colected email addresses through that contact form, like transmitting them to my mailchimp account?

did i make it clear?

don't know what mailchimp is or how does it work

mailchimp allows you to send up to 2000 emails to your mailings list for free. actually you can also generate a code on their website www.mailchimp.com that generates the same contact form like you did, more or less, but safes the email adresses on their database, so you can send personalized email newsletters to your followers. take a look at my newsletter/subscribe page, i just dont get a long with styling it in size and apearence:

get my news by leaving your email address

ok, couldn`t post the code.

I understand the principle, but I don't know. The question to ask is: do you really have so many people wanting to join your mailing list that it needs an automated procedure?

And I guess mailchimp must have an own automated procedure that you could put on a page, sort of like join my network in facebook thing

Hello!! I too am having the same issue that other people were having regarding emails not being sent. The contact form shows on my site but when I have tested it nothing happens. I have left it a good few hours for the email to come through but nothing is happening. Any advise on the issue would be appreciated!!

Cheers

Oops sorry for double post!!

er... what website? what contact form?

Sooooooooory!!! I forgot to post my site, I was half asleep when I sent it, heres my link....

My Site

The contact form that Vaska put up ages ago at the beginning of this thread.

Sorry to be a pain its just I posted which contact form I use(d) on a different thread and Vaska said it is not safe, hence finding this one.

I can't read php from here, and anyway if I could read the contact form code, then it wouldn't be safe ;)

there's a bit of editing you must do for the form to work. You'll have to read the thread, it's all there spread over several posts

Okey dokey, I will re-read and see what I have missed. Inspecting the contact page though I think I can see some of the code from the plugin so I take it off for now.

Thanks for your help Pernin!!

Works a treat. Exactly what I was after. :)

Also, anyone know of a way to change what the "button" says? From "submit query" to just er...."submit"? ;) Couldn't see where it was in the file.

Hi Paul - you still up for testing things?

April 30th is the day.

You know how to reach me. ;)

different browsers translate this into either Submit or Submit Query if you don't have the parameter value specified. You can specify a value in: function the_form(), about line 45, for example

$html .= "<div><input type='submit' value='Send' name='submitted' class='a-submit' />n";

sent email vaska ;)

Brilliant, pernin, that worked thanks. Although a letter n appeared outside of the button for some reason. Taking the space out so it's 'submit'value= got rid of that though

actually, it's Vaska who found that, if it's not in this thread, then it's in another one... ;)

weird, I use this form in my site without that space prob
