Hi, unfortunately the contact form in RW does not work. I use RW 9.2.1 and the PHP version is 8.2. Do I have to downgrade to PHP 7.4. ? Thanks, Frank ---

Hi @aguaparami, Could you clarify what “not working” means for you? We are aware there is an issue with the built-in Contact Form when being used on PHP versions 8.x, however that issue doesn’t prevent the form from sending, the notification emails just come over a bit malformed (still readable, it just includes some raw code). If you are experiencing a different issue, let us know exactly what that is so we can advise further. We do have a troubleshooting guide I recommend checking out, as it might help to clear up any deliverability issues you might be experiencing. > **[Contact Form | RapidWeaver Classic Manual](https://docs.realmacsoftware.com/rapidweaver-docs/getting-started/page-types/contact-form#troubleshooting-contact-form-deliverability-issues)** > > Receive email messages from your website visitors via RapidWeaver's built-in Contact Form
