I used a contact from before with Kirby 2 and 3 and was able to make it work on a one-pager.

> **[Contact form](https://getkirby.com/docs/cookbook/forms/basic-contact-form)**
>
> Create a basic contact form that sends HTML or plain text emails.

– Changed the controller to home.php  
(inlcuding adding the email information)  
– changed the $data to $form (data is already used for the sections)  
– configured the smtp server and email in config.php  
– email templates are present  
– $form, $alert and $success are also passed into the snippet

What else might I be missing?  
The website/contact page also does not send, only gives a positive response.

It would be helpful if you post the complete code.

Can you elaborate what you mean? Is there a separate contact page with the form? Or is the form on home or both?

Dear @pixelijn , thanks for your response.  
Yes I added a seperate template with the contact form, to see if that would work.

The contact form on a sub-page is 100% according to the cookbook.  
Only with the added email configuration.

The page shows the `$success` message, but nothing is sent.

[EDIT] the contact form on the subpage sends now.  
Only the omepage does not work yet.

What exactly does not work? Where is the controller now? Note that the forms `action` attribute needs to point to the page where you have the controller.

The form is pointing to the front page.

I removed the section ID (#contact), but it still does not work

`<form method="post" action="<?= $page->url() ?>">`

I finally got it to work, by removing the action:

`<form method="post">`
