Contact form submit setup

Hi all, the last piece of my website rebuild is the contact form. I have the form page set to .php and I’ve filled out my email server info and PW.

After publishing, when I fill out the form and click the submit button nothing happens.

Does the submit/button section need to be configured as well or is it just supposed to work?

How does the success message happen?

I’m not finding anything about how that part of the form works or is setup.

There’s two replies messages that I believe need to be completed too. One was for the e-mail form being successfully completed (Thanks for your e-mail or something similar) and the other for the for not being accepted.

If I remember correctly my for wouldn’t work until I activated those two items.

In the form setting area, toward the bottom, there’s an item for success. You can either enter a message there or a redirect.

Jeff Thanks. I saw that but it’s not clear how or where to enter a message. It looks like you’re suppose to add a “success component” but I’m not sure where to put that component (inside or outside the form component?) and or what to drop into that section.

The success and error messages are in the form section under All Components. You need to drag them into your form and edit their text.

Here’s a screen shot of mine.

Thanks that helps. I’ll see what happens.

Cool, the form actually works now!

Thanks again!

One last question, what do people use for their privacy policy and how does that get set up for this form?

Do you mean as a cookie consent? Otherwise just add a checkbox and in the text for that you can link to your privacy web page. See https://pretty-good-websites.com for an example.
