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 privacy consent checkbox and a simple numeric captcha.

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

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

How to use

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

Settingspage

Via Settings > VSCF you can:

• Change admin email address

This can be useful when having multiple contact forms on your website.

Shortcode attributes

You can add attributes to the shortcode mentioned above.

Misc:

Field labels:

Examples:

• Multiple attributes: [contact email_to="your-email-here" subject="your subject here" class="your-class-here"]

Widget attributes

The widget supports the same attributes. You don’t have to 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" class="your-class-here"

List form submissions in dashboard

Via Settings > VSCF you can activate the listing of form submissions in your dashboard.

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 should install an additional plugin for this. You could install for example:

• Post SMTP
• WP mail SMTP
• Easy WP SMTP
• Gmail SMTP

Because I’m not the developer of these SMTP plugins, I will not give support. And use them at your own risk.

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 Settings > VSCF.

Without the WordPress codex and help from the WordPress community I was not able to develop this plugin, so: thank you!
