    Hi Feyza, thanks for the kind words. I'm glad you like the video! Well you have to make sure that WordPress is sending emails out. So if you can receive for example Password reset emails. If it is not, follow this guide: kzread.info/dash/bejne/eauhzbpvqqzTh9o.html if it does, than make sure that the sender of the form is also the exact email address as your domainname.

The main opportunity says to Reduce unused JavaScript the culprit being reCaptacha adding almost 4 seconds. Then suggests Reduce unused CSS (how do i do that?). Should I disable the reCaptcha? Would using Akismet only be enough with Contact form 7? Thank you!!

    @WPressDoctor Thank you so much for taking the time to answer my question. Yes, I doublechecked it, the website is sending from an email ending with the same domain name. I just realised that the reason might be that I tested the contact form before adding reCapcha and it marked the email as spam and now it keeps ending up in the spam folder regardless that I added reCapcha. I tried it with different email addresses and they all arrive in the main inbox, only the original one keeps going to spam. So I assume it is working correctly now. Interestingly the KZread notification email about your answer ended up also in spam.

Then maybe Phone and email on the next row, next to each other, and so on. I don't like every box to be on a single row because it takes a lot of vertical space and wastes a lot of horizontal space

So when the user fills in 1 day, he gets another response email from you than when he fills in 2 days. I don't know how easy this is to do with CF7, I always use Gravity Forms for complex forms and conditional logic 😃 This is my latest tutorial on that: kzread.info/dash/bejne/Y4lhzbSIeKuZnsY.html

In fact, I did some tests and I realized that it only happens when I attach a file that exceeds the limit. The strange thing is that I already set the limit to 8MB and for some reason the form still allows it to be uploaded, instead of generating the programmed response for those cases; and when submitting the form the message "This field is required" appears in all fields
