When you choose any field as Required Field (using an asterisk(*) symbol), the field becomes compulsory, i.e. if that field will remain blank during submission then a form will throw a validation error and message will display. This message can be modified globally by editing Bank Field message which by default like "This field cannot be blank".

Thank You!" and this can be changed by changing the Success Message field in Global Setting.

4.Submission Failed Message

When due to some errors the submission of the form gets interrupted and submission gets failed, then there will be a Failed Submission Message which indicates the submission of form data has not performed due to some error.

  All Email that we are sending using WordPress default server in which you didn't need to configure Host, Port or any specific email id. This method requires little configuration. Easy to setup.

- SMTP Server Method
  SMTP Methods allow you to send Emails using you a specific email account like your Gmail or other email service providers. These settings here would depend on your email provider. Settings for Gmail or a Google Apps account can be found here. For Yahoo, try this. If you are using GoDaddy, set the SMTP Host to localhost, and leave the Username, Password, and Port as blank. If your email provider is not from above you can simply google it and you will get required configuration data with a couple of minutes. If you are using an email provided by your web host, you would find the settings with them.
  1. Sender Name: Type in something like My Blog.
  2. Sender Email: Type in something like ARForms@myblog.com.
  3. Username: The username that you use to login to this email account.
  4. Password: The password of the account.
