Caldera form mail debug helper
A very specific request!
Caldera Forms is a popular WordPress plugin for creating forms, and Form Mail is a feature that allows you to send form submissions via email. If you're experiencing issues with Form Mail, a debug helper can be very useful in troubleshooting the problem.
Here are a few debug helpers you can try:
- Enable Form Mail Debugging: In your Caldera Forms settings, go to Form Settings > Form Mail and toggle the Debugging switch to On. This will log detailed information about the form submission and email sending process in your WordPress debug log.
- Use a Plugin like Debug Bar: Install and activate a plugin like Debug Bar, which provides a detailed debug output for your WordPress site. This can help you identify any issues with the form submission and email sending process.
- Check the Form Mail Log: In your Caldera Forms settings, go to Form Settings > Form Mail and click on the Log tab. This will display a list of recent form submissions, including any errors that may have occurred during the email sending process.
- Inspect the Form Submission Data: Use a plugin like Debug Bar or a browser extension like Chrome DevTools to inspect the form submission data. This can help you identify any issues with the form data being sent to the server.
- Check the Server Error Log: If you're using a Linux-based server, you can check the server error log to see if there are any errors related to the form submission and email sending process.
Some common issues that can be debugged using these methods include:
- Incorrect email settings (e.g., incorrect SMTP server or authentication credentials)
- Form data being sent incorrectly (e.g., missing or malformed fields)
- Email sending issues (e.g., email server timeouts or connection errors)
- Caldera Forms plugin conflicts with other plugins or themes
By using these debug helpers, you should be able to identify and resolve the issue with your Caldera Forms Form Mail feature.
