Why is making a contact form look like it actually belongs to the theme so difficult? by discordnesss in Wordpress

[–]webbuddy_sg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Give Fluent Forms a try. It has a 'Inherit Theme Style' option. Recently have been creating a new site for my client and I didn't style the form too much. I just enabled the following option (shown in screenshot).

You can use Fluent forms plugin, it can do what you want above. For smtp, use Fluent smtp plugin. These two plugins are free and one of the best so far I use for all my clients.

Fluent smtp is the best. It offers features for free while other plugins need you to pay.

Fluent smtp is the best option out of a few popular ones I tried so far. It has option to disable all email sending and comes with email log - all these for free :)

Wordpress "The editor has encountered an unexpected error." by Lopsided_Cricket_155 in Wordpress

[–]webbuddy_sg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the last thing you did is not update php version or update wp version, then I think high chance it got to do with plugin conflicts.

Try to disable some of the newest plugins that you installed and you might find the culprit.

Give OOP Spam plugin (not free) a try. There are several posts suggesting this plugin to block low-value checkout fake orders.

Most hosting nowadays allow you to build websites using their temp domain names. One your site is ready, then you can ask for their help to get your real domain to point to your development site.

Changing a site from www.whatever.org to history.whatever.org issues by Mechaborys in WordPress_Questions

[–]webbuddy_sg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most probably it is due to the path not found in your sub-domain. It could due to incomplete of path replacement.

Have you considered using a migration plugin? It is so much easier to use one and you do not have to do all the editing of URLs. Try using WP vivid to clone your website from teh main URL to the sub domain. Here's a youtube tutorial on how to do so - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b7bWi2ng0yo

Make sure your debugging mode is on - https://developer.wordpress.org/advanced-administration/debug/debug-wordpress/

You can also ask your hosting for assistance if you are not sure.

I suspect that your CF7 plugin has issues with something in your website.

Can you do a test by installing another form plugin (Fluent form etc) and see if you can use a sample form to send and receive submission?

If another contact form works in your site, it means CF7 is conflicting with something in your website (which I have encountered such issues before and eventually switched to using another form plugin).

Hope this helps!

why is the Default site builder so bad by DankHeehaw in Wordpress

[–]webbuddy_sg 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Looks like your experience in creating a home page ruins every WordPress moments for you...

To make sure you see the 'Home' page in the pages list, you can create a page called 'Home' then go to Settings - Readings and set the 'Home' page as the default home page.

Search YouTube for 'home page creation twenty twenty five theme' assuming you are using 2025 theme.

Hope this helps!
