FAQ

How do I enable the phone/address fields?

You can add the respective fields by adding them as attributes to your shortcode:

[contact phone=”1″ address=”1″]

Please note: you may have to replace the quotes in the example with simple double quotes.

How can I add some predefined text to the message field?

You can add pre-defined message text by adding it as an attribute to your shortcode:

[contact message=”Message can be inserted into the form as an attribute.”]

Please note: you may have to replace the quotes in the example with simple double quotes.

Where do I set the sender/reply e-mail?

This plugin uses the admin e-mail address of your WordPress website (Settings > General > Email Address).

How can I send the form to multiple recipients?

You can use the “mailto” shortcode attribute in order to forward the form to selected email addresses, e.g.

[contact mailto=”john.doe@gmail.com,jane.smith@yahoo.com”]

Please note: you may have to replace the quotes in the example with simple double quotes.

Where can I find a demo of the contact form?

Known Issues

This plugin optionally uses a token to verify that a form will only be submitted once per click on the submit button. If you experience any difficulties using the plugin you might have to disable the token in the plugin’s customizer options (checkbox).

If you need to use the token instead of the default JavaScript solution, simply stop caching the page that displays the contact form.

If you use the security number field, please also make sure your web server supports PHP sessions.

Nice Lightweight Form for Wordpress. Only has 8 files as opposed to drag and drop form builders that have 1000 files and use up your hosting company files limit. The quotes mark is wrong in the example for optional phone number field. I fixed the quotes and it worked. CORRECTED [contact phone="1"]
