Here\u2019s How to Fix It"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

You\u2019ve spent hours setting up WordPress Contact Form 7 on your GoDaddy-hosted website<\/em><\/strong>. Everything seems good to go and you test your form, but you\u2019re not receiving any emails. You adjust a few things and test again, but it\u2019s still the same. This can be frustrating. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a common problem to run into issues with email delivery from Contact Form 7 on your GoDaddy-hosted website, and there could be several reasons behind it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, we\u2019ll guide you through different scenarios regarding Contact Form 7 not sending emails on GoDaddy<\/em><\/strong> and help you troubleshoot the problem effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are some common issues behind Contact Form 7 not sending emails on GoDaddy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Incorrect email settings<\/strong>: An issue as simple as incorrect email addresses in your Contact Form 7 settings<\/em><\/strong> can result in you not receiving emails. Remember to enter your email addresses correctly in both the ‘To<\/strong>‘ and ‘From<\/strong>‘ fields so you can successfully receive emails from Contact Form 7. The fields are in the \u2018Mail\u2019 <\/strong>tab of each contact form setting window. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. GoDaddy\u2019s spam protection<\/strong>: GoDaddy\u2019s spam protection systems block emails if they seem suspicious. This could occur if you’re using a non-domain email address in the ‘From’ field<\/em><\/strong>, or if there’s an issue with your email headers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Single Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) issue<\/strong>: WordPress uses PHP mail function by default. If your GoDaddy server isn\u2019t set up to use the PHP mail, you may not receive emails from Contact Form 7. This requires an SMTP setup to send emails.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Hosting restrictions<\/strong>: Like other web hosting companies, GoDaddy may place restrictions on email use to prevent spam. These restrictions may block<\/em><\/strong> emails from your Contact Form 7 if it’s sending a large number of emails<\/em><\/strong> in a short period of time.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
