Hi DigitalOcean,
For starters, can you help me with my contact form on my website? The contact link is broken. It reads: “Message was not sent. Mailer error: Could not instantiate mail function. There was a problem sending your email. Array”
Thank you! Will

Hello,
It sounds like that you are using Wordpress. If this is the case what I could suggest here is using an SMTP plugin to sort out the contact form issue.
That way you will be able to specify an SMTP server with authentication which your emails would be going through. You could, for example, use Gmail’s SMTP settings.
This would drastically increase the delivery rate of your emails as well compared to using plain PHP mail.
I’ve been using this plugin for a while now and it works very well: Easy WP SMTP.
Hope that this helps! Let me know if you have any questions. Regards, Bobby
