Does the contact form Widget works in "local simulation/publication" mode ?

Hi all

Does the contact form Widget works in "local simulation/publication" mode ? because when I test my website with the "PUBLICATION" button and attempt to send a form, I have no mail reception.

Thanks by advance

Hi Ritchie,

I assume you are using the Contact Form Widget and not the Contact Form Advanced widget.

The reason is because the Contact Form Advanced will tell you that you cannot send an email until you publish your website (at least in version 3.3 and later)

So the answer is that neither widget will work until it is published to a server that supports PHP, which almost all web hosting providers support. While you preview locally, you won't get an emails.
