Troubleshoot a failed test

Start with the failed test’s details. Identify whether the problem occurred while loading the page, submitting the form, or receiving email.

Open the public form page in a browser. Confirm that it loads over HTTPS, accepts the required fields, and displays a success message or redirect after submission.

If the form also fails manually, investigate the website or form configuration.

If submission succeeds but email is missing:

  • Confirm that the form’s notification is enabled.
  • Check its recipient and conditional notification rules.
  • Review your WordPress email delivery settings and available delivery logs.

Check for changes to form fields, validation rules, plugins, themes, caching, or site security. Update any test field overrides that no longer match the form.

Run a manual FormStatus test after making a change. Review the new report to confirm the affected check passes.

If the problem continues, contact support@formstatus.co with the form URL and relevant test details.
