    I can't belive how helpful your videos are. I have watched much bigger channels that have nothing on you as far as being so helpful and simple for us that don't do this all the time. Thanks again. I subbed because I am sure I will be watching many more as I build my site. Thanks again.

      For most persons complaining about not getting notifications sent to their inbox, what you need to do in that situation is to Edit your forms > Settings > Notifications > Send To Email Address (Add in the Email you want the entires to be sent to) > From Email ( add in this shortcode = {admin_email} or you can add in Support@yourdomain.com )

    Help, please. So, I created my form with WPForns and saved it. I went to my Contact Us page and using elementor I added where I wanted to add the WP Form just created and the look of it is all skewed. Meaning the name and email box and the message box is pushed together. first and last names are right of the box and email is to the left of box. the message is way too long and there is another name box under the message. I thought this was supposed to be easy.
    When I first made this site there was a contact7 form that was not working so I deleted it.
    What do I need to do to start over?

When I finished my for and published it live, I sent a test email and it did not show up in either my spam or my inbox? How can I go back and edit this or fix it?

    • @CreateaProWebsite
      @CreateaProWebsite  Před 2 lety

      Did you set up the form to send emails to the correct address? By default, WP Forms will send emails to {admin_email} which is shortcode and will pull your admin email from your wordpress account. If you already checked your inbox and spam folders, then you might have to go to the WP Forms settings. Click on WP Forms from your WP dashboard and click on "edit" for the form that you are having trouble with. Next go to the settings tab on the left of the screen and go to "Notifications" Under the "Send to" text field, you can try two things: first you can check your wordpress and hostgator settings and make sure that your admin email is set to the correct email and is spelled correctly; secondly you can manually type in your email into the "send to" field in the WP Forms settings. That way, your WP Form will send directly to your typed email rather than using code to pull it from your account. This might help.

    • @LayaniGraphicDesign
      @LayaniGraphicDesign Před 3 lety +2

      Hey, I actually just found the solution! Whatever default colors you have on your website, this is the color your button is gonna be. So I went to "Appearance" to costumize (I can't tell you the exact names, because I don't use WP in English...). There go to "General Options". I just changed the default colors to the colors I like in all the fields, also "theme buttons", where one can also change the border radius, the hover color etc.! This actually changed the button from the form from a light blue square to a square with "my" color and rounded corners!!
