Title: Syntax errors on "Addition Headers" using: Reply-To: [email] Last modified: August 31, 2016 --- # Syntax errors on "Addition Headers" using: Reply-To: [email] * [Alexion Software](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alexionsoftware/) * (@alexionsoftware) * [10 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/syntax-errors-on-addition-headers-using-reply-to-email/) * Hi, * I love the new feature: How to Resolve Configuration Errors. * The problem is that I use the Addition Header “Reply-To:”. It works fine BUT in WordPress I get the message “This contact form has a configuration error” and below the Additional Header field “This field has syntax errors.”. * I use the “Reply-To:” as follows: Relpy-To:[email] * and if I look into the [documentation](http://contactform7.com/adding-cc-bcc-and-other-mail-headers/) that should be right. [email] is a valid email field used in the form. * I have a [schreenshot](http://alexion.nl/download/temp/reply-to.PNG) of this. * Does anybody now what is wrong (with me ;-)? * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/contact-form-7/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/contact-form-7/) Viewing 7 replies - 1 through 7 (of 7 total) * [atorres-1](https://wordpress.org/support/users/atorres-1/) * (@atorres-1) * [10 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/syntax-errors-on-addition-headers-using-reply-to-email/#post-7107018) * To solve the syntax problems you have to: * 1- Go to your form or create a new one and add the tags that you have there ( text, email, text area, etc). It should be something like this: * [text* Name placeholder “Your name”] * [email* Youremail placeholder “Your Email”] * [text* Subject placeholder “Subject”] * [textarea* Your-message placeholder “Your message”] * [submit “Send”] * 2- Go to the tab “Mail” and fill the input fields as follow: * – To: the email where you want to received the messages. * – From: the email of your website, be sure it has the same domain, like: [contact@yourdomain.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/syntax-errors-on-addition-headers-using-reply-to-email/contact@yourdomain.com?output_format=md). Don’t worry about this, you will received the emails of the people who write you, this is just to avoid messages going to the spam folder. * – Subject: Your subject tag, if you take a look to the point 1, in this case will be [Subject] * – Message body: this is a matter of using the same tags you created in the point 1. So what you should have here is something like: * From: [Name] <[Youremail]> Subject: [Subject] * Message Body: [Your-message] * [sallymoos](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sallymoos/) * (@sallymoos) * [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/syntax-errors-on-addition-headers-using-reply-to-email/#post-7107272) * AlexionSoftware: You have a typo … * Relpy-To:[email] * 🙂 * [i-createweb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/i-createweb/) * (@i-createweb) * [9 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/syntax-errors-on-addition-headers-using-reply-to-email/#post-7107294) * I am getting that error using the multiple form add-on. Is that because the [ your-email] tag is on the first page and the error is on the last page? Or is it something else that I am missing? * Thanks for the help, Denise * [elias1435](https://wordpress.org/support/users/elias1435/) * (@elias1435) * [9 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/syntax-errors-on-addition-headers-using-reply-to-email/#post-7107295) * Just Type in Additional Headers section: * `Relpy-To:[email]` * You can check the below screenshot: [http://prntscr.com/bythgk](http://prntscr.com/bythgk) * [game writer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scrybbler/) * (@scrybbler) * [9 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/syntax-errors-on-addition-headers-using-reply-to-email/#post-8175787) * I was getting this too and I think I know what your problem was. * Contact Form 7 throws this error if email is OPTIONAL, as it was with my form. If you make email REQUIRED the error goes away. * Not the best error reporting setup but there it is. * [doncgarner](https://wordpress.org/support/users/doncgarner/) * (@doncgarner) * [9 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/syntax-errors-on-addition-headers-using-reply-to-email/#post-8632618) * I had been looking ALL over google search and youtube for an answer for about 3 hours…then I found this thread. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!!! * (@elias1435) Your FIX WORKED Flawlessly! I added the corrected Tag you suggested Reply-To:[email] and the Syntax Error went away. Thank Again.
