<p>Simple, yet pretty and perfect for most of us. You will love this contact form! Through its Gutenberg block (or shortcode), you can add it anywhere and make it yours in a few clicks. Lightweight, clean UI, no need to set up anything special or download more plugins. It doesn’t use any JS or CSS files (except if you active ReCAPTCHA). You can find more information on this plugin on <a href="https://meowapps.com/contact-form-block/" rel="nofollow ugc">Meow Apps: Contact Form Block</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Why another Contact Form?</strong> I have tried many plugins in the past, and I found them all too heavy and complicated. Most of the time, I just wanted a simple <strong>contact</strong> form. Why would I need to create a new form in a list of forms, manually decide the fields and make sure everything is well set-up? And why do I need more plugins in order to add ReCAPTCHA support, or even pay for such a basic option?</p>
<h3>Usage</h3>
<p>The Contact Form Block has been designed to be used within the Gutenberg Editor. You can modify the labels of the main fields (Name, E-mail, and Message) and the overall design. A header can also be added, with an image and some text. The text and color of the submit button can also be customized. There are 3 basic <strong><em>themes</em></strong> available: None, Default and Meow Apps. None will add no styles to your contact form, Default will make it work on any theme, and Meow Apps will look a bit more solid.</p>
<p>The shortcode [contact-form-block] can also be used, just as it is! That shortcode can be used anywhere, in your widgets for example. Have a look at the <a href="https://meowapps.com/contact-form-block/tutorial/" rel="nofollow ugc">tutorial</a> to learn how to use it.</p>
<p>For the ReCAPTCHA and the other various settings, please visit the Contact Form page under the Meow Apps menu in your WordPress Admin.</p>
<h3>Notes</h3>
<ul>
<li>The default behavior of this contact form is to send an e-mail to the admin of the WordPress install. That can be easily modified through the available WordPress filters.</li>
<li>ReCAPTCHA v3 is currently used as an Anti-Spam. If you are interested, you can also develope your own ‘human check’. Have a look at <a href="https://meowapps.com/contact-form-block/tutorial/#Anti-Spam_Ask_a_question" rel="nofollow ugc">this</a>.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Best Practices</h3>
<p>This contact form follows the best practices, in order to guarantee a maximum conversion rate.</p>
<ul>
<li>Vertical layout (multi-columns result in a loss)</li>
<li>Labels above the fields (instead of placeholders or tricks)</li>
<li>Explicit and colorful submit button (labelled ‘Send’ instead of ‘Submit’, by default)</li>
<li>A limited number of fields (after 3 fields, the conversion rate goes down)</li>
<li>No captcha (don’t worry about spams, this contact form includes ReCAPTCHA_v3, which is invisible)</li>
<li>Use a header (with a small image), that will motivate the user to contact you</li>
</ul>
<h3>Limitations</h3>
<p>This Contact Form’s goal is to remain simple and fast. New fields and features can be added through its filters and actions, but I will not make the core more complex and heavy.</p>
<p>Languages: English.</p>


Contact Form Block

A good and simple plugin. But should have some more options like subject field and notification email changing option.

Simple plugin

Neat, simple, super lightweight

Tired of those heavy and old contact forms? Try this one. Simple, yet modern, pretty and extremely optimized. No JS or CSS files are loaded.

<h4>DEFAULT WORDPRESS EMAILS OVERWRITE</h4>
<p>Now, with this plugin, you can easily disable default WordPress emails and replace them with your own. To do that you can use our awesome Wizard which will guide you through the process.</p>
<h4>HOW DOES IT WORK</h4>
<p>The Notification plugin is built with three main components:</p>
<ul>
<li>Trigger – a WordPress action, ie. User registration or Post publication</li>
<li>Carrier – the thing which is being sent, ie. Email or Push</li>
<li>Merge Tag – dynamic content, ie. {user_email} or {post_permalink}</li>
</ul>
<p>You can use them in any combination, adding as many Notifications as you want. They can be sent to multiple Recipients with the content you write.</p>
<p>The process is simple:</p>
<ul>
<li>You select the Trigger</li>
<li>Compose your message with Merge Tags</li>
<li>Set Recipients</li>
<li>Save the Notification</li>
</ul>
<p>From now on the Notification is working. Test it out and add more!</p>
<h4>PERFECT FOR DEVELOPERS</h4>
<p>The Notification plugin is easy to set in the WordPress Admin, but it’s even easier to extend with some sweet API.</p>
<p>You can create your own Triggers with any WordPress action. If you do in your code <code>do_action( 'my_plugin_doing_awesome_thing' )</code> you can create a Trigger out of it.</p>
<p>This allows you to use the Notification plugin as a notification system in your own plugin or theme. How? Well, because of two things:</p>
<ul>
<li>You can easily load it by copying the plugin files and including <code>load.php</code> file. A function known from Advanced Custom Fields plugin.</li>
<li>You can white label the plugin with just one function which is shipped in the plugin’s core. For free.</li>
</ul>
<p>How easy extending the Notification plugin is? Let’s see:</p>
<ul>
<li>Adding another Merge Tag to existing trigger – 1 line of code</li>
<li>Creating custom Trigger – one intuitive class definition and registration with a single method call</li>
<li>Defining Global Merge Tag – 1 line of code</li>
<li>Creating new Extension – we have a <a href="https://github.com/BracketSpace/Notification-Extension-Boilerplate/" rel="nofollow ugc">Boilerplate</a> ready for you to start hacking</li>
</ul>
<p><a href="https://docs.bracketspace.com/notification/developer/general" rel="nofollow ugc">See the developer documentation</a> if you don’t believe us.</p>
<h4>DEFAULT RECIPIENTS</h4>
<p>The plugin comes with few registered by default recipient types for Email Carrier:</p>
<ul>
<li>Email address or Merge Tag – free type email address or a Merge Tag</li>
<li>Administrator – takes an email from General Settings page</li>
<li>User – takes an email from WordPress user profile</li>
<li>Role – notify all Users having selected role at once</li>
</ul>
<h4>DEFAULT TRIGGERS</h4>
<p>These are already defined in plugin’s core and are ready to use. You can enable or disable them on the Settings page.</p>
