Hi there,
The provided URL does not work. Anyways, I think I know where you got stuck.
Please note that the error message “Please enter a valid email address” is a generic message for all email errors. You can change it via: Nifty Options > Customize > Subscription.
Most probably the form does not work because there is no SMTP / email setup. Especially if you are working on localhost you need to do this on your own. I do not know your specific situation (localhost, hosting provider etc.) but I am quite sure this is missing.
Thanks for a response. However, it doesn’t help in this case, as I’ve meticulously customized the plugin settings, via that customizer. The form looks great, does all but allows a visitor to SUBMIT perfectly valid email addresses.
Form issue. Fully setup according to plugin. Underconstruction form with simple Enter email address.
EMAIL VALIDATION Settings, inaccessible to me, an end-user
Person enters it fine. Tested several email addresses. Form ONLY displays my error message, “Please enter valid email address.”
What is NOT in the plugin customizer to allow people’s email to get through regardless if where they’re being stored. I see no setting related to that, even though I’ve customized all the other settings–including having written my generic “Please enter a valid email address.” Of that “generic message”, at this revelation, it doesn’t even match: the emails ARE all valid. Something’s missing, it apoears, among the FIELDS, settings accessible to “me” so that I can update it: some script or validation setting (and I’m not even all that technical, just logical).
Please forgive any typos.
Thanks.
I am sorry I am not sure if I understand you correctly. Do you have a contact form on your website (behind the coming soon page)? Does it work there to receive emails?
Nifty Options “missing something”, preventing Form From Accepting peoples EMAIL Entries.
Hi, yes. I have a Under Construction Plug-in that is not allowing me to properly configure it–well, doesn’t seem to be properly configured. Although I have set every single FIELD correctly, as far as I can humanly tell. It appears fine, link is here, which I’ve temporarily TURNED the under construction mode on, so that you can see it. Turned on, though, should anyone tries to ENTER their perfectly legitimate email address, the ERROR message is triggering. Obviously, not because it is causing it, but because something is missing in the settings, the VALIDATION process or something that is not visible to me. I’ve addressed every single BLOCK. Finally, I tested “sending an email” from the FORM. It works fine.
URL – (temporarily turned it on just for this discussion, because I don’t want people having that friction or bad UX) – moveoryoullstaythere.com is coming soon

Thank you for your response and I hope you can help.
I had a look at the website. Unfortunately from the frontend I can not tell the cause for this issue. Sorry for the bad news 🙁
No problem. Thanks for looking. It’s just a crappy plugin, it appears.
Enjoy your day.
