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.
