# Configuration errors – bug

 * Hi,
 * I think there’s a big issue in the latest version of your plugin.
    Since I updated,
   a ‘configuration error’ appeared. So I check the forms, there’s not real configuration
   error, I still use [something-existing] syntax, but I still get the ‘This field
   has syntax errors.’ message.
 * I even tried to type something like ‘test’ instead of [something], still get 
   this message.
 * Please could you fix it quickly? I use this plugin on a lot of websites… Thank
   you.

 * Thank you but it doesn’t help me as I already checked my syntax.
 * On top of my admin form, it says:
    “In the following fields, you can use these
   mail-tags: [nom][prenom][email][telephone][remuneration][localisation][CV][message]”
 * In the “To” field, I use:
    “[prenom][nom] <[email]>” or “[nom]” and it doesn’t
   work, I get an error message: “This field has syntax errors.”.
 * Thank you in advance for your help.

 * Make sure these are required fields (*) in the FORM:
 *     ```
       [text* prenom]
       [text* nom]
       [email* email]
       ```

 * In the MAIL >> FROM field you need a dummy email address from your domain.
    Try:
 *     ```
       [nom] [prenom] <wordpress@your-domain.com>
       ```
   
 * Obviously replace `your-domain.com` with the domain of the site.
