Note
When a user submits a form, two email notifications are often sent: one to the user as confirmation and one to you or your team. However, these emails may end up in the spam folder, especially now that providers like Gmail are increasingly strict about email reputation and authentication. To address this, we recommend using a tool like Site Mailer. By routing all site emails through a dedicated external service rather than your hosting server, Site Mailer significantly improves deliverability and ensures your messages reach their intended destination.

Disable form submissions

To disable form submissions:

  1. Go to the WordPress dashboard.
  2. Go to Elementor > Settings > Advanced.
  3. Set Form Submissions to Disable.
