Configuration error

(@hartmutnz)

Hi, jsut checked on the form, which works fine, and had this for over a year with no errors, now it says: “CONFIGUTRATION ERROR”
Here is the code I have in there:

<p>Your Name (required) <br />
    [text* your-name] </p>
<p>Your Email (required) <br />
    [email* your-email] </p>
<p>Arrival: <br />
[text arrival placeholder "Month/Day/Year"] </p>
<p>Departure: <br />
[text departue placeholder "Month/Day/Year"] </p>
<p>[text* text-375 "Condo Number:"] </p>
<p>Optional Dates ? <br />
[text optionaldates placeholder "comma separated if more than one"] </p>
<p>Subject: <br />
    [text your-subject] </p>
<p>Your Message: <br />
    [textarea your-message] </p>
<p>[quiz quiz-548 "3 + 1 = ?|4"] </p>
<p>[submit "Send"] </p>

Any ideas how to fix it?

Can you post a screenshot of your MAIL settings?

Try this:

== MAIL ==
From: [your-name] <[email protected]>
Subject: Re: [your-subject]
Additional Headers: Reply-To: [your-email]

What happens and why:

1. When you receive the message, it will have the sender’s name and be from the “wordpress” email address specified in FROM (Depending in your hosts, this may need to be a real email address (test to see if it processes), and it does need to be @your-domain.com).
2. By including Re: in the SUBJECT, you will ensure that the field always has some text in it, even if the sender does not complete this field (Best practice is to ensure that there is at least some text in the subject field). Or, you can make the SUBJECT a required field in the *Form* by adding an asterisk: [text* your-subject]
3. Adding the Reply-To: [your-email] in ADDITIONAL HEADERS means that you can reply to the sender by hitting the Reply button in your email client.
