For a live demo of Contact Form X, visit my <a href="https://perishablepress.com/contact/" rel="nofollow ugc">contact page</a> at Perishable Press. Note: the form at Perishable Press is highly customized with CSS, but all other functionality is the same. Feel free to send a test email to see how it works, I won’t mind 😉 Also check out CFX in the “Screenshots” section (below) for a better idea of how the default form is styled out of the box.

Privacy
To help protect user privacy, Contact Form X provides the following features:

Basically, this plugin enables visitors to send a message via contact form. Any information the user enters into the form will be sent directly to the recipient(s) according to plugin settings. When enabled in the plugin settings, details about each sent message will be stored in the WordPress database. Visit the “Advanced” plugin settings to control this and other data-collection features.
Note: CFX provides an option to enable Google reCaptcha, which is provided by Google as a third-party service. For details on privacy and more, please refer to official documentation for <a href="https://developers.google.com/recaptcha/" rel="nofollow ugc">Google reCaptcha</a>.

Contact Form X


What a great plugin. I'm just so tired of all the other contact forms, all bloated, loading their own styles. And then I saw this gem.




Simple, yet powerful.



Has anti-spam integrated, which, unfortunately, it's mandatory to have nowadays



Registers all email in the database, including if the user agreed to the terms, mandatory for GDPR reasons.



Doesn't force its own UI. Following WP guidelines.




Amazing. Just amazing.


Just amazing

Displays a user-friendly contact form that your visitors will love. Lightweight, fast, secure, accessible (ADA/WCAG compliant).
