Wordpress Contact Form That Work With Free Web Hosts

kkrizka
Hi there,

I had a bit of trouble setting up the wp-contact-form plugin for my wordpress blog that was hosted by freehostia. At first I was using the free package, so I couldn't send out any mail. I solved that by saving all messages to a directory, and password protecting it.

When I updated to a payed package, I still couldn't send out any mail. It turned out that the From header had to be an existing email that I had registered with my freehostia account, and wp-contact-form used "From: <email-of-person@who-contacted.me>" I solved that by modifying the plugin, changing From to the administrator's email set in wp options, and putting the person's email as a Reply-To header.

If anyone is interested in these modifications, check out my post here:

I added a few more features, like user tracking too. Check it out! smile.gif

Wordpress Contact Form Plugin uses the PHP built-in Mail function so it doesn't require your a SMTP mail connection to send mails.

I've the same plugin installed in my blog which is hosted in a free server, and I face no problems receiving contact mails.

    How to Design a Contact Form in Flex Part Duex Part 1 Well if you had read my first three
    tutorials on how to design a contact form, you learn some basics on MXML and of course design a

    since the form is completely different, and using a different way to populate my combo boxes with

    Design A Contact Form In Flex Part 2 I hope that you learn a little bit of the Flex format with my
    first tutorial because that was the easy stuff until you get to the actual programming such as
    ActionScript and any other languages. Of course, I think this is by far the easiest part of
    designing forms or applications and that is using CSS. I will like to point out that CSS in Flex is
    a enigma and I will tell you why, because CSS in flex acts like regular CSS in html however it is
    very limited in what you can use and yet CSS in Flex is very complex because of how you ca....

    Design a Flex Form Part 1 Well this is my first tutorial on Adobe Flex 3 which is a great program
    if you’re interested in designing applications for the web 2.0 era. Adobe flex is the way to
    go as it combines several different programming languages in order to make the most out of this
    program. This includes HTML, CSS, XML, PHP/MySQL, XML, ActionScript, Ruby on Rails and ASP and this
    is all possible by the use of MXML or Magic eXtensible Markup Language because it is a user
    interface markup language. My three part tutorials for this form include designing the f....

    below a certain level (set by you) cannot view posts that you want to hide from them. They
    won't even know that the posts exist. This is assuming that either 1. you are running a
    blog/site that is meant to be administered by only one person (ie, you). OR 2. you want to let some
    people co-author with you, but still need some posts to be restricted (more of a bloggers'
