Fix WordPress Contact Emails
Budget: ₹600 – ₹1,500 INR
The contact form on my WordPress site is a fully custom build, not Contact Form 7 or WPForms. Everything appears to submit on the front-end, yet no email ever arrives in my inbox. The form currently sends through PHPMailer, so I need someone who can step in, trace the mail flow, and restore dependable delivery.
Here’s what I already know:
• Submissions complete without visible errors, but nothing is delivered.
• The form relies on the PHPMailer class bundled with my theme.
• No third-party SMTP or transactional service is configured.
Your task is to isolate the break in the chain—whether that’s mis-configured headers, disabled mail() on the server, incorrect PHPMailer setup, or something else—then implement the fix. Once resolved, I need:
1. Successful test emails reaching a standard mailbox I specify.
2. A brief summary of what you changed (file paths, SMTP credentials if added, DNS records, etc.) so I can maintain it later.
If you prefer switching the form to authenticated SMTP or a service like SendGrid for better reliability, feel free to implement that as part of the solution; just note the steps clearly.
