= Why do I see an "Unable to send message" error? =
This error signifies an issue with your WordPress site's email sending capability. Please consult with your hosting provider or consider integrating an SMTP plugin like Easy SMTP or Post SMTP. Despite email setbacks, rest assured that form submissions are stored in your WordPress database by default.

= To which email address does the plugin forward the emails? =
By default, submissions are sent to your website admin's email. You can also designate additional email addresses to receive these submissions.

= What will the URL of my "contact Us" page be once the plugin is active? =
Create a page with a URL of your choice and place the Gutenberg block or Elementor widget (shortcode also provided) for a prebuilt design, which can be customized to your taste.

= Can I show just the contact form without additional "Contact Us" page elements? =
Absolutely. Option exists in both Gutenberg block and Elementor widget to publish either forms only or comprehensive Contact Us pages.

= What is the requisite shortcode to showcase the newsletter opt-in form? =
Depending on your layout preference, use "[productive_newsletter_form]" or "[productive_newsletter_form_landscape]" for portrait and landscape layouts respectively.
