Subject: Forms not being detected on new sites (404 error on submit

Support
1

Hello ,

I am a new user. I am trying to use Netlify Forms, but they are not being detected. When I submit a form on my live site, I get a “Page not found” error instead of the default thank you page.

This proves that the form submission is not being processed by Netlify.

I have tested with a very simple index.html file containing the data-netlify=“true” attribute on a brand new site, but the issue persists. my original site is https://aloled-ben-tlall.netlify.app/

Could you please check if there is an issue with my account that is preventing form detection?

Thank you.

@mohazaid311 Have you redeployed the site since turning on form detection?

See:

After you do that, check your Deploy log, it will indicate if the form was detected
https://docs.netlify.com/monitor-sites/logs/#deploy-log

At the moment your form is not sending a form-name

Which makes sense if a new build hasn’t been run, as it’s auto-injected when the form is detected, as explained here:
