Hope you can help me :blush:

Have a Nice Day :smiley:

That’s not a problem of the theme but of your settings. Usually, sending mails is disabled on localhost and you would have to set it up first.

i have changed the email in the Settings to my Email Adresse

You need to setup an email client on your local host installation (wamp or xamp or whatever you’re using) which is usually a hassle. Can you try to test this on a development environment that is not locally hosted?

This might help: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15965376/how-to-configure-xampp-to-send-mail-from-localhost

i already have it :slight_smile: thanks @texnixe and @Thiousi

What was your solution? I am scratching ym head with this. I have setup sendmail and edited the php.ini as well as the sendmail.ini but it just goes straight to;

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: The email could not be sent in C:\wamp64\www\pearshaped\kirby\toolkit\lib\email.php on line 163

Instead of opening a new thread i thought i would ask here Any ideas?

Thanks,

i hope this help’s you: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5773288/configure-wamp-server-to-send-email

EDIT: i have found a tutorial on youtube, maybe its helpfull

The email class uses the built-in PHP mail() function. It is unfortunately very hard to debug as it just returns false on error. Are there any other warnings or errors on the page or in your PHP error log?

Thanks @lukasbestle and @thesmithy :slight_smile:

It turns out it was a combination of using PHP7, Wamp and generally not knowing what the heck I was doing.
I started from scratch and installed Xampp configured the php.ini like so;

SMTP=smtp.gmail.com
smtp_port=587
sendmail_from = youraccount@gmail.com
sendmail_path = "\"C:\xampp\sendmail\sendmail.exe\" -t"

Sendmail.ini

smtp_server=smtp.gmail.com
smtp_port=587
error_logfile=error.log
debug_logfile=debug.log
auth_username=youraccount@gmail.com
auth_password=pass
force_sender=youraccount@gmail.com

You must quit xampp and stop & restart the services in the windows mgmt console (or just reboot).

Works fine now apart from the issue it gives a β€œ1” on successful submission of form. Looking into that.

hi @typeplus,
You should use three backticks instead of one to display code blocks
with one backtick

    with three backticks
    you're better off
