Topic: ContactLP

It seems my contact page is not working, it is not sending an email to my desired account.  I know it worked some time ago but not now.  I had not changed anything so not sure what happened.  Any assistance will be appreciated.

The contactLP form uses the built-in PHP function of mail() to send the mail.  Contact your tech support for your hoster to have them test the mail() function on your site -- they may have changed the configuration for how the mail() function performs the sending of email.

Your instance seems to be working correctly on the wxContactUs.php page.

Thanks Ken I will get into it.

Update

Looks like the problem was with trying to have the form send the message to a gmail account.
Have not resolved the gmail issue yet with my Host provider.
I did change where the message should be sent, to a non gmail account, and the form seems to be working.

Google has tightened up the requirements to send email to their users.  It requires that the DNS for the mailer have specific stuff:

Have your hoster fix up the mailer engine for your website to enable sending to gmail accounts.

Thanks Ken.
I had found my host's documentation on how to do it they just have not implemented yet.  So that is why I tried a different address and it works.  Thanks for the link, I can share with tech support if they need it
