== Frequently Asked Questions == |
| 172 |
= How do I get started with the best forms for WordPress? = |
| 173 |
The fastest way to build a form is to use the example we built for you. After you activate Formidable, insert [formidable id=contact-form] on the WordPress page of your choice. |
| 174 |
|
| 175 |
Go to the Formidable page and click "add new". Choose the Contact Us form template or another free template and click "Create". |
| 176 |
|
| 177 |
Next, edit or create a WordPress contact page. Click the "Formidable" button to open the shortcode generator. Choose your new web form and insert it into the WordPress page.

|
| 179 |
= Why isn't WordPress sending emails? = |
| 180 |
When you do not receive emails, try the following steps: |
| 181 |
|
| 182 |
1. Double check the email address in your Email action on the settings page. The [admin_email] shortcode uses the email address from your WordPress Settings -> General page. |
| 183 |
2. Are you receiving other emails from your site (ie comment notifications, forgot password...)? If not, notifications will not work either. |
| 184 |
3. Check your SPAM box. |
| 185 |
4. Try a different address in your settings. |
| 186 |
5. Install WP Mail SMTP or another similar emailing alternative and configure the SMTP settings. |
| 187 |
6. If these steps do not fix the problem and other WP signup emails are not going out, please reach out to your web host. |
| 188 |
