Hello JA!

I’m having a problem getting my contact form to work…

Is there a guide or tutorial that I’m missing somewhere? Yes, i’d love any and all help in getting it to work. I’d like to know how to set it up properly myself even more! 🙂

As always, I really appreciate any and all help! You guys are great!

Go to Administrator -> Componenets -> Contact -> Contact -> Matthew Thomas -> check Right Column -> Contact Details Tab -> you will have a option for Entering Email there , Please set your email there so the form would start to work perfectly

Hello Chavan,

thanks for the response, but unfortunately that didn’t change anything that I can see…

yes, that information was not in the contact details page, if it needs to be there, it was missing, but it is there now…

I’m still not getting any emails, and the form isn’t redirecting anywhere…

Thanks for any help,
-matthew

It works! 🙂

Hey Thanks Chavan! That is awesome! 🙂

I hate to ask, but can you please tell me what would be the best way for me to be able to ‘see’ your changes in these two files? (I personally use dreamweaver CS4 to edit css files and when I looked through the template.css file your changes don’t stand out. (to me anyway) and I’m unsure about the best way to ‘compare’) I would very much like to understand what was causing the problem, as now the form css doesn’t appear to be working. (At least in Chrome, I’ll check other browsers)

But, like I said, the form does work now, which again, is awesome!) Thanks again for that! I appreciate it!
