# [Plugin: Contact Form 7] Form Issues

 * I am trying to do a contact form and have looked through here and cannot seem
   to get it to work.
 * What I want is to have a user enter their name, email, select an option from 
   a radio button list as a subject, compose a message, do the CAPTCHA and hit send.
   I want to receive an email with that information.
 * The two issues are the Radio Buttons and the Message. The subject comes through
   listing the entire tag, and the message also displays the tag and not the message.
 * Here is my form set up:
 * > <p>Your Name (required)
   >  [text* your-name] </p>
   > <p>Your Email (required)
   >  [email* your-email] </p>
   > <p>Subject
   >  [radio radio-124 “Advertising Inquiry” “Tip or Idea Submission”“
   > Correction” “Writing Inquiry” “Other”]</p>
   > <p>Your Message
   >  [textarea textarea-430 .5×5] </p>
   > [captchac captcha-866 size:l]
   > [captchar captcha-866]
   > <p>[submit “Send”]</p>
 * And here is m y mail setup:
 * > To: [info@eyeonannapolis.net](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-contact-form-7-form-issues/info@eyeonannapolis.net?output_format=md)
   > 
   > From: [your-name] <[your-email]> Subject: [radio radio-124 “Advertising Inquiry”“
   > Tip or Idea Submission” “Correction” “Writing Inquiry” “Other”] Message Body:[
   > textarea textarea-430 .5×5]
 * The other fields are blank.
 * And if anyone can tell me how to narrow up the message box that would be a bonus.
   Right now it extends all the way across the page and I would like it more square-
   ish than rectangular.
 * Thanks so much!

 * in mail setup instead of having
 * [radio radio-124 “Advertising Inquiry” “Tip or Idea Submission” “Correction” “
   Writing Inquiry” “Other”]
 * just have
 * [radio-124]
 * similarly just have [textarea-430] in mail setup.
 * to reduce width, try lesser value instead of 5 in form setup for [textarea textarea-
   430 .5×5]

 * Thanks Ravi. Solved the first problem but not the size of the box, but not too
   big of a deal.
 * Much appreciated!

 * My contact form 7 will not route emails to me from my website. What and where
   do I enter to have the emails sent to my email???

 * Hi!
 * I discovered that my contact form plug-in was not working when someone told me
   she emailed me, that she got a comment saying her message was sent successfully,
   and yet I never got her email.
 * I then tried to email myself and it did not work. I then upgraded to the latest
   contact form. It still didn’t work. I then de-activated the plug-in and re-activated
   it. It still doesn’t work.
 * The person who usually helps me with WordPress issues is quite ill and barely
   online. She had emailed me suggesting either upgrading my plug-in for the contact
   form or installing a new one.
 * So, I don’t know what else to do. All I know is that my contact form is not working
   anymore and it is very difficult to reach the person who usually helps me with
   WordPress problems.
 * If you could possibly suggest anything I can do to get my contact form working
   properly again, I would greatly appreciate it.
 * I can see from my blog traffic that a couple of people have viewed my contact
   form today. I hate the idea that people are sending me emails that I’m never 
   getting… I worry that they will think I am ignoring them because they get no 
   error message or bounce-back.
 * They do get a message telling them the message did go though… when it didn’t.
 * Thank you in advance for your help!

 * Hi
    You may have a similar problem to me that I fixed by installing a plugin 
   called Configure SMTP; it routes your wordpress mail through your SMTP mail function
   rather than a server side PHP script. Hope it helps Nick Garnett
