I have used contact form 7 for one of my wordpress sites.
I have also integrated wp-mail-smtp for sending mail.
In local site is running properly but When I configure it on server it gives error.
Problem is though I get success message but it does not send mail to specified email id.
and when I try to send the test message from smtp, it gives below error
The SMTP debugging output is shown below:
SMTP -> ERROR: Failed to connect to server: Connection timed out (110)
SMTP Error: Could not connect to SMTP host.
Can any one specify the problem?
I needed to wipe this from the “from” field to get my emails to get through:
[your-name] <[your-email]>
Just left it blank and it worked.
The SMTP needs to be authenticated. Download and install the WP Mail SMTP plugin. Once the local server information is added in Settings >> Email, the emails should get sent out to any outside email addresses.
Link to plugin: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-mail-smtp/
Please try with “host as localhost”
Just try hope will helps
In addition to installing a plugin for SMTP (smtp-wp, WP Mail SMTP, etc.) Make sure that configuration in the Contact Form 7 configuration, the text area “Message Body” contains at least the code
[your-message].
