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.
