Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about cformsII

Most probably this is not cformsII's fault. Please check your WordPress mail configuration with a plugin like Check Email. If that reports not to work, you don't have a mail server running or its settings are broken. Please fix it yourself, tell your hosting provider or use an external SMTP plugin (see the next question).

That function was removed. The WordPress function wp_mail is used for mails now, which makes use of built-in PHPMailer by default. If you want to configure it to use an external SMTP server, use an appropriate plugin, e.g. WP Mail SMTP.

This is an incompatibility with WordPress 4.2+ that was fixed with cformsII 14.9.3. Be sure to use a current version.

These features were removed with version 14.12.

This feature was removed with version 15.0.

cformsII can be extended via WordPress actions and filters. You find their 'cforms2_' prefixed names and inline documentation at the apply_filters and do_action calls. Additionally there is one API function that you can call directly: insert_cform. Please have a look at its PHPDoc. Older cformsII versions had an API called my-functions, but that is removed as of version 14.14.
