    This is an amazing video. Thanks Matt! I think I did everything in your video in order. But I have questions. First, I did not receive any email when I filled out the form. It does not work. Where could I have gone wrong? Secondly, how can I change the typography and color of the labels? And I want to set some labels side by side, how can I do this?

    • @WPressDoctor
      @WPressDoctor  Před 4 měsíci

      Hi Feyza, thanks for the kind words. I'm glad you like the video! Well you have to make sure that WordPress is sending emails out. So if you can receive for example Password reset emails. If it is not, follow this guide: czcams.com/video/GwmkX6zImWw/video.html if it does, than make sure that the sender of the form is also the exact email address as your domainname.

    How about playing with the layout. I don't like everything stacked. For instance, I would Like *First Name* and *Last name* to be to boxes on the same row. Then maybe Phone and email on the next row, next to each other, and so on. I don't like every box to be on a single row because it takes a lot of vertical space and wastes a lot of horizontal space

    • @WPressDoctor
      @WPressDoctor  Před 6 měsíci +1

      Hi there! You are very welcome! Thanks for the kind words, I really appreciate it. So can you check if the website is sending from a email address that ends with your domain name?

    • @TheNyuszus
      @TheNyuszus Před 6 měsíci

      @WPressDoctor Thank you so much for taking the time to answer my question. Yes, I doublechecked it, the website is sending from an email ending with the same domain name. I just realised that the reason might be that I tested the contact form before adding reCapcha and it marked the email as spam and now it keeps ending up in the spam folder regardless that I added reCapcha. I tried it with different email addresses and they all arrive in the main inbox, only the original one keeps going to spam. So I assume it is working correctly now. Interestingly the CZcams notification email about your answer ended up also in spam.

    • @WPressDoctor

      Hi there! Unfortunately that’s how reCaptcha works these days. But there is a way to hide the entire thing completely on your website while it still works 😎 try this:

    Hi Matt! Once I added reCaptcha V3, my PageSpeed Insights score for mobile went from 45 (which I thought was a bad score) down to 10. The main opportunity says to Reduce unused JavaScript the culprit being reCaptacha adding almost 4 seconds. Then suggests Reduce unused CSS (how do i do that?). Should I disable the reCaptcha? Would using Akismet only be enough with Contact form 7? Thank you!!

    Now I want to change the text they will receive in the automatic mail, depending on what they have choosen.
    Example:
    They choose "2 days"
    Then the user should get a text block like "If you stay 2 days, the price will be different..."

      Hi Werner! Thanks for your question. I sure know what you mean! This sounds like you can fix this with conditional logic. So when the user fills in 1 day, he gets another response email from you than when he fills in 2 days. I don't know how easy this is to do with CF7, I always use Gravity Forms for complex forms and conditional logic 😃 This is my latest tutorial on that: czcams.com/video/1U-kROHH3nc/video.html

      Hi Ogunkoya! Thanks for the question. That’s not supposed to happen 😀. Are you sure WordPress is able to send out emails? You can test this if you try to send yourself a “Forgotten password” link. If you receive it than it works! It could also be something else, check themeisle.com/blog/fix-contact-form-7-not-sending-email/#fix-contact-form-7-sending for more ideas now to fix it!
