<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.

<p>WP Mail Logging is the most popular plugin for logging emails sent from your WordPress site. Simply activate it and it will work immediately, no extra configuration is needed.</p>
<h3>Are your WordPress emails not being sent or delivered?</h3>
<p>Use this plugin to log all outgoing emails from your WordPress site. If there are any errors when sending the email from your site, our email logs will catch that error and display it to you.</p>
<p>This will allow you to debug and fix your email sending issue.</p>
<h3>Did a client not receive your email?</h3>
<p>Our email logs allow you to resend any email that was sent from your site. No more lost emails!</p>
<h3>Do you just want to keep a record of all emails sent from your site?</h3>
<p>By default, WordPress and your web host do not log, store or keep track of emails sent from your website.</p>
<p>This plugin will allow you to do just that. Our email logs will store every email that is sent from your WordPress site.</p>
<p>You can search and view a particular email log, inspect its content or attachments, and even resend that email.</p>
<h3>What email information is logged?</h3>
<p>All emails sent from your WordPress site are logged. And here is the information that is stored:</p>
<ul>
<li>Email Subject</li>
<li>Email Content (HTML or text)</li>
<li>Email Attachments</li>
<li>Email Headers (to, from, reply-to, cc, bcc, …)</li>
<li>Error Message (in case there was an error while attempting to send the email)</li>
<li>IP Address of originating server (can be enabled in the settings)</li>
<li>Date and Time of the email</li>
<li>Receiver (the TO email address)</li>
</ul>
<h3>Why are my logged emails still not delivered to the inbox?</h3>
<p>There are a lot of steps that emails have to make in order to be delivered to the recipient’s inbox.</p>
<p>When your WordPress site sends an email, there’s no guarantee it will be delivered.</p>
<p>This is what the email’s journey looks like:</p>
<ol>
<li>WordPress creates an email</li>
<li>WordPress passes the email to your website host and that email gets logged by our plugin</li>
<li>The host server takes the email and sends it (SMTP or Mail Transfer Agent)</li>
<li>Recipient server receives or blocks the email</li>
<li>If the email is accepted, the spam filter decides if it goes to the inbox or the spam folder</li>
<li>Recipients see the email and might open it.</li>
</ol>
<p>This plugin does not track delivery after step 2.</p>
<p>If you have deliverability issues, we suggest installing the <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-mail-smtp/" rel="ugc">WP Mail SMTP</a> plugin.</p>
<p>WP Mail SMTP fixes WordPress email deliverability problems, you can choose between 12 email providers (Gmail, Outlook, SendLayer, Mailgun, …) to resolve your email sending issue and it’s super easy to set up. WP Mail SMTP is trusted by more than 3 million websites.</p>

WP Mail Logging

Great plugin


Very easy to moving from local server to live site


moving from local server to live


Love this plugin!  Acts as a great debugging tool when outgoing SMTP is not working (seen often on VPS hosted instances without something like WP SMTP configured).  


Great debugging tool!


Nothing really more to write. I've been using the plugin for quite some time and haven't experienced any unexpected behavior.


Works seamlessly right after activation

Works well


Very useful seeing what should have gone out and figure out if there's something wrong with my mail server.


Helps keep my sanity


Sending email from WP can be problematic when the provider has a poor mailing service. This plugin is perfect to monitor the email activity, find possible problems, resend emails.



I'm using it simple and very complex sites. It's particularly useful to track emails sent by plugins (ecommerce, form managers and so on): most of the time, when there are problems, they can be solved looking at the log.



IMHO every site should have it.


A must have


Love this plugin. Save me from huge lose. 


Little but huge impact. Very helpfull

Log, view, and resend all emails sent from your WordPress site. Great for resolving email sending issues or keeping a copy for auditing.
