    Hi! Katrinah,
    Thank you so much for you video! In order for me to get the Contact Form 7 to work properly, I had to Delete it and start over. I know for a fact that it was installed correctly the first time, because I had my hosting company look into it. With your help, I began again, and now I am receiving the emails into my account! Yay!
    I have a question? Once received in my email inbox, there is a photo attached to the bottom of my email along with a message, which would be great if it were the photo of my choice. How do I change the photo?
    Thanks a million,
    Janet

    If you have a website being made from a Wordpress template and it incorporates a contact form, and you have on MS365 email from GoDaddy to receive the comments and questions through the contact form, you have the site's associated email account set up on your cell phone and computer through Outlook, but the test emails are not being received, is it because the site is not yet live? Or maybe the contact form has not yet been linked to the new email? Thank you!- Ken

    Thanks, Katrinah for your awesome video. 99% of it was perfect, but I was still not receiving emails when I used your settings. Email settings are so confusing to me! I use Gmail for my personal email, so I set the TO box on the MAIL tab of the contact form to my gmail address instead of the Wordpress website email. Then I started receiving emails at my Gmail account. Thanks again and I hope that helps anyone else who reads this!

    After two hours of reading conflicting reports about syntax errors in the "from" field I got very frustrated. I've never used this plugin on any site and never will. To me a contact form should be pretty simple. It's a message sent to us (our email address) from (email address of the person sending us the form) with a subject and a message. Hours of research on simply how to get the user's email address in the "from" field just turned up hundreds of posts about syntax errors. I gave up.
