Fixing the “Mail() function returned false” error
Sometimes this error is displayed at the bottom of the screen:
If this happens, please follow the instructions below:
- Once logged in to SiteBuilder, go to Parameters -> Contact Form:
- Enter an email account with the same domain as your hosting in the To and From fields (you will be able to redirect your messages to another address in your N0C panel).
- Click on the green Publish button to publish the changes.
- Once the changes are published, go to the file manager via the N0C panel and edit the file named “contact.php” :
5. Enter the following two lines as comments in the code :
//$headers .= "Reply-To: " . (!empty($this->replyto) ? $this->replyto : $this->from) . "" . PHP_EOL;
//$headers .= "Return-Path: " . $this->from . "" . PHP_EOL;
- Click on the Save and Close buttons.
Note : You will need to do this every time you publish a change with SitePad. Therefore, we suggest that you keep a backup copy of the contact.php file.
