Why is your form not working in Elementor<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
There are various reasons why your Elemntor Forms might not work. We\u2019ll go through each of them and also list out hacks to solve them.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
Problem Statement – Elementor Contact Form not sending emails<\/h2>\n\n\n\nReason 1. Emails land in the spam box:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nElementor Forms are integrated into WordPress, but WordPress itself doesn’t handle email sending. It relies on the PHP function, which hosting servers often disable to prevent spam. In other words, the emails you send end up in spam which is an utter waste of your marketing efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Solution – <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n\nInstall an SMTP plugin<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Wait! What is an SMTP plugin?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
SMTP stands for \u201cSimple Mail Transfer Protocol\u201d. Simple Mail Transfer Protocol(SMTP) is the international standard communication protocol used for sending and receiving emails over the Internet. It helps ensure that your emails get delivered faster and helps prevent your email from ending up in users\u2019 spam folders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
SMTP plugin replaces the PHP so that the hosting servers won\u2019t block your emails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
