Annnnnd … I’m wondering if an older event triggered the error one more time when I cleared the trash because I again can not get it to throw that error. Not even made it to plugin or theme testing because I can’t recreate it again.

Only thing I can figure is there was still one malformed event post from before I re-saved the settings that caused the error when I went to empty the trash posts for events.

Version 4.4.0.1

Ok so I had a theory that I ended up trying because the whole turn off all of your plugins and change your theme thing is a bit … long. I know why it’s necessary but it’s a pain in the ____.

My theory was based on seeing something in a previous thread that I thought might apply to this as well.

I went to the events (plugin in the left dashboard menu) > settings > and scrolled to the bottom and hit “save changes”

There was something mentioned in another thread about how something between the last version and this version of the Calendar plugin was just enough different that what was saved to the database for the page wasn’t quite right and was causing problems. I think the suggestion was to actually change it from “events” to something else and then back again. But that might not even have been necessary because all I did was hit “save changes.” And maybe it wasn’t even the page name but something else from the settings.

So far, since I have done that I have not been able to recreate the error again.

Fingers crossed that this is as simple as that. I will follow back around though if it comes up again though and run through the process of testing for conflicts.

FINALLY found the solution to my problem and posted it over on a thread with a lot of other possible solutions:

SO obscure and also why I could get it to work with some accounts (or what I thought for a brief bit was site specific vs email specific) but not the one I was trying to get it to work with!

Now I’m UTTERLY confused.

I decided to try again on another site I was planning on taking offline and I ran into the same problem. Then I disabled ALL of the plugins and added them back in one by one testing the form each time with incremental subject lines so I was certain I was getting each message.

I reenabled every single plugin I had previously had active and the contact form continued to send to me.

So I went back to the other site and started to try the same thing. Didn’t work. Then I decided maybe there was some sort of typo in the email address I wasn’t seeing so I changed what email address it went to. It went fine. Switched back to the correct email address and sent. Nothing. Checked the spam folder. Nothing. Checked the trash. Nothing.

a) I have no idea why deactivating the plugins on one site and then reactivating everything one by one seemed to work.
b) I still don’t know why, even with nothing else turned on on another site I can’t get it to send to the correct email address. Other things are coming in fine to that email account so it’s not a problem with that part either.

Totally baffled!

I already had jetpack disabled so I need to go through some more and see what else. Luckily I updated a site that I could pull the contact form from first before some that I can’t.
