Troubleshooting options

Enable Logging
If logging is enabled, the script logs errors and other general information to a text file on the server. In case any error happens, you can download the log file to check what went wrong.

 

See Also:

 

Email address to receive errors
If an email address is provided in this field, then the script sends errors to the provided email address. This is very helpful because you will come to know of the errors immediately.
It is recommended that you provide an email address in this field for every form that you make.

 

Debug mode
Display errors on the page itself. This option helps getting the errors immediately on the screen.

If debug mode is unchecked, the errors are not shown on the screen (so that your website visitors won't come to know about the details of the error)

 

Enable Security validations to prevent spammers

When this option is enabled, the script will do special checks to prevent automated form submissions. If this option is enabled, you won't need Captcha in the form to protect the form from spammers.

 

It is rarely that you will need to uncheck this option.

 

Reject submissions from selected IP addresses

The form submission email contains the IP address of the form submitter. In case you observe that some particular user keeps sending you form submissions in an attempt to spam you, you can ban his IP address.
