Today I was having a problem with my wordpress contact form being broken. When you would submit the form it wouldn’t process it would end up the exact place it started and the values would be lost. I searched on Google and didn’t find any answers so I had to tinker myself. Fortunately I found the solution was in some missing information in my htaccess file.
If you’re form won’t submit go into the Manage -> Files section on your main menu. Select the htaccess (rules for rewrite) on the lower right hand side. Make sure that you have the following lines somewhere in your code:
# These are the standard WordPress Rules
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
After that your form should start working again.

So was this something that you left out accidentally during your redesign and rearranging or is it an error in the default Wordpress install?

Looks like it may be specific to greywolf’s setup, tacimala. The default Wordpress install doesn’t have a contact form; it’s a plugin (and a nice one indeed).

It was me monkeying with something else and not realizing I screwed something up. it had probably been down over a month.
