After updating PHP to 5.5 I got a problem by sending my form.
I get this message

Mailer Error: SMTP connect() failed. https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer/wiki/Troubleshooting

Didnt touch anything in CF5 and now I cant figure out what is wrong.

Also I cant edit my form anymore, it keeps loading and nothing happens in backend.

Hi Gabi,

PHP 5.5 is still a pretty old version. I'm to sure why that would give you problems with emails though. Does the From Email in the action match the email in the Site Email settings?

For the loading image problem please see the Admin Template section in this FAQ.

PS I deleted the attachment.

Yes it is the same. Havent changed anything.
And I have sent a testmail trough the configuration - no problem. That is working fine.

Oh and sorry I misinformed you, I have PHP 7

PS I dont understand this faq.
Cant find anything called Isis

Admin templates with Joomla! 3.5
ChronoForms v5.0.10+ appears to run correctly on Joomla! 3.5 with PHP 5.6 but not with the default Isis template - you just see the spinning loading image. Here are ways to fix this:
Disable the 'Pinned toolbar' setting under: Extensions > Templates > Isis > Advanced > Pinned Toolbar (thanks to user carlo scarpello).
Change to the Hathor Admin template (thanks to user carionpiet).
There is an updated version of the Isis template called Isis3 available from GitHub here. If you get the Zip Download from GitHub you can install it in Joomla! as a normal template and it will show up as Isis3 in the template list. (thanks to user t3living)

Hello again.

Thanks for trying to help me, but I now made a decision.
I installed V6 and loaded my V5 form.
Now I am working with this and email seem to work.
I have other problems though.

The datepicker
Using the shourtcuts {data:form_field_navn} etc
And data sent to my email

But I will close this post and make other posts for those questions if necessary, as I cant see how I did it in V5 because of the loading problem.
