I'm developing a Wordpress theme on my local server environment, and I'm trying to test that the contact form submission works properly. I'm using the Ninja Forms plugin. I made a submission with the contact form, but I never got an email about it. I have my own email address setup as the admin email. Any advice on what the problem might be is appreciated.
