I am using wp_mail() to receive mails which is submitted through a contact form in my wordpress blog. wp_mail() returns true but the thing is i am not receiving any mails. I have also tried to change the mail address to hotmail from gmail but no luck.
Ajax code in my contact template
$('#send').click(function() {
//For Validation
function validateText(name) {
var pattern = /^[a-zA-Z'-.s]+$/;
if (pattern.test(name)) {
return true;
}
return false;
}
//For Validation
function validateMail(mail) {
var pattern = /^[a-zA-Z0-9_.+-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9-]+.[a-zA-Z]{2,3}$/;
//var pattern = /^w+@[a-zA-Z_]+?.[a-zA-Z]{2,3}$/;
if (pattern.test(mail)) {
return true;
}
return false;
}
//Getting values from the form
var name = $('#name').val(), mail = $('#mailid').val(), query = $('#message').val(), error = 1;
//For Validation
if(name == "" || !(validateText(name))) {
$('#name').addClass('error');
error = 0;
}
////For Validation
if(mail == "" || !(validateMail(mail))) {
$('#mailid').addClass('error');
error = 0;
}
//For Validation
if(query == "") {
$('#message').addClass('error');
error = 0;
}
if(!error) { // If validation fails
return false;
}
$('#sendAlert').show();
$('#send').html('Sending...');
$.post(ajax_object.ajaxurl, { // Using ajax post method to send data
action: 'ajax_action',
sendmail: 'nothing',
name: name,
mail: mail,
query: query
}, function(data) {
$('#send').html('Send');
alert(data); // Alerting response
return false;
});
});
In Functions.php
function ajax_action_stuff() {
if(isset($_POST['sendmail'])) {
function set_html_content_type()
{
return 'text/html';
}
if(isset($_POST['name']) && isset($_POST['mail']) && isset($_POST['query'])) {
$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['mail'];
$query = $_POST['query'];
$to = 'vigneshmoha@gmail.com';
if($name == "" || $email == "" || $query == "") {
echo "Fail";
return false;
}
$subject = "Website - Query from ".$name;
$message = "Hi,
<p><strong>Name</strong>:".$name."</p>
<p><strong>Mail</strong>:".$email."</p>
<h3><strong>Query</h3>
<p>".$query."</p>";
$headers[] = 'From: no-reply@gmail.com'."rn";
$headers[] = '';
add_filter( 'wp_mail_content_type', 'set_html_content_type' );
$mailsent = wp_mail( $to, $subject, $message, $headers);
remove_filter( 'wp_mail_content_type', 'set_html_content_type' ); // reset content-type to to avoid conflicts -- http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/23578
if($mailsent) {
echo $to;
} else {
echo 'error';
}
} else {
echo 'error';
}
} else {
echo 'error';
}
die();
}
add_action( 'wp_ajax_ajax_action', 'ajax_action_stuff' );
add_action( 'wp_ajax_nopriv_ajax_action', 'ajax_action_stuff' );
There is a possibility that your email is being marked as spam, or it’s simply your email provider is not allowing it to reach your inbox, are you sending via SMTP?
Do you have SPF records setup? If you are sending an email from your website, and have the from header set as
@gmail.com
or@hotmail.com
, this will surely not arrive in your inbox as the email is not originating from the gmail or hotmail servers, it’s coming from yours, so it think’s you are trying some phishing attack.Edit:
That means the mail has left your server, it doesn’t mean it’ll arrive in your inbox, as there are many other steps between your server and your inbox, and a few different things could of went wrong in this process. Try testing out the
From:
header, change toexample@yourdomainname.com
