VS Contact Form

Descripció

About

This is a lightweight plugin to create a customized contact form.

Add shortcode [contact] on a page or use the widget to display your form.

Form has fields for Name, Email, Subject and Message. It also has a sum to solve (to avoid abuse) and a privacy consent checkbox.

You can personalize your form via the settings page or by adding attributes to the shortcode or the widget.

It’s also possible to list form submissions in your dashboard.

How to use

Widget attributes

The widget supports the same attributes. Don’t add the main shortcode tag or the brackets.

Examples:

• One attribute: email_to="your-email-here"
• Multiple attributes: `email_to=”your-email-here” subject=”your subject here” label_submit=”your label here”

List form submissions in dashboard

You can activate the listing of form submissions in your dashboard via the settings page.

After activation you will notice a new menu item called “Submissions”.

SMTP

SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) is an internet standard for sending emails.

WordPress supports the PHP mail() function by default, but when using SMTP there’s less chance your form submissions are being marked as spam.

You must install an additional plugin for this, such as WP mail SMTP.

Uninstall

If you uninstall plugin via dashboard all form submissions and settings will be removed from database.

All posts of the (custom) post type “submission” will be removed.

You can avoid this via the settings page.
