Hi,

I have set up a form but it is not working.  
I´ve been in contact with my host and tried every possible solution.

This bring brings me to the question if I have set up something wrong in [Elements](https://elementsapp.io/). There isn´t really much to set up.

The most common problem I have run into with getting forms to work in [Elements](https://elementsapp.io/) is that when you publish your site not all of the files are being uploaded. To solve this I always manually mark the contact page as changed. This will force all of the files to be uploaded. You can only mark a page as changed by right-clicking on it.

Every time I have run into problems with forms this has fixed the problem.

Hope this helps.

When filling out the form I get the below error. A PHP update is required.

The Form Component requires PHP 8.x or newer, so it sounds like you need to upgrade it on your server. You can sometimes do this via the admin panel on your host, if not, drop them an email and ask for them to update it for you.

Once this is done, you should be back up and running!
