The contact form on my site isn't working

I realized that the contact form on my artfulminis.com website isn't working. It won't submit or do anything. I'm not sure why.

Homestead contact forms often fail due to improper email configuration, publishing errors, or using the same email for account login as form submissions. Key fixes include updating the form's recipient email in the "Advanced" settings, republishing the site, clearing browser cache, and checking the "Manage > Form Statistics" area for submissions. 
Troubleshooting Steps for Homestead Contact Forms:
  • Check/Update Email Address: Click the form, go to Settings > More > Advanced to ensure the correct recipient email is entered.
  • Use a Different Email: Use an email address for form responses that is different from your main Homestead account email.
  • Republish the Site: Changes to forms often do not take effect until you republish the site using the button in the top menu.
  • Check Form Statistics: If emails are not arriving, check the "Manage" > "Form Statistics" link on the left side of your dashboard to see if submissions are being captured there instead.
  • Browser Cache: Clear your browser cache and cookies (or use a private/incognito window) to ensure you are seeing the live, updated version of your site.
  • Check Form Location: Ensure the form is not placed in the Header or Footer, which can sometimes cause display/functionality issues. 
If the issue persists, verify that your domain's DNS records are correctly pointed to Homestead.
