    In the form options of the form in question I have the general options set to the following

    Published: YES
    Save date(to database): NO

    Email options
    email to send submissions to: [email protected]
    email from: E-mail
    form name: Web inspection request
    reply to: other = [email protected]
    custom text in email for administrator: %all%

    however no emails are being sent the form submission are going to the database. I am obviously missing something.

    I checked to see if wordpress showed any updates for this plug in. It does not. I need a solution to this ASAP.

    Dear NYEIA,
    If we understood you right, only the e-mails are not being sent to the defined e-mail. In that case first of all please make sure the email is not filtered to the spam or junk email folder.

    – Try using another email address (preferably one with the same domain as your site)
    – WordPress uses PHP mail. Perhaps your hosting does not have sendmail enabled. Please contact your hosting provider.
    – Alternatively, you can use SMTP, which should always work.

    You can use this plugin for example: http://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/webriti-smtp-mail/
    Setting up an external SMTP server, such as GMail should work. But GMail requires authentication.

    Mailer: smtp
    SMTP Authentication: yes
    SMTP Security: SSL
    SMTP Port: 465
    SMTP Username: your gmail full address
    SMTP Password: your gmail password
    SMTP Host: smtp.gmail.com
