<p>Easy Contact is a simple contact form that utilizes the <a href="http://www.plaintxt.org/themes/sandbox/" title="Sandbox theme for WordPress" rel="nofollow ugc">Sandbox</a> design patterns to create a highly semantic, XHTML-based contact form you can insert using <code>[easy-contact]</code> on any page or post.</p>
<p>Easy Contact features spam-reduction measures, GUI-based customization, carbon copying option, and more. Emails include tracked referrer information, including keywords for search-based landings, user agent, and IP.</p>
<p>Easy Contact is for WordPress 2.6.x and features:</p>
<ul>
<li>Out-of-the-box function using shortcode without editing any files</li>
<li>Options menu for complete customization of form content</li>
<li>Spam reduction measures, i.e., math- and/or challenge-based question</li>
<li>Secure plugin operation and highly semantic XHTML</li>
<li>Use of the Sandbox comment form design patterns</li>
<li>An included starter CSS file with corresponding images</li>
<li>Tracked information, e.g., user agent, user referrers, IP</li>
</ul>
<p>Based partially on the classic <a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-contact-form/" title="WP Contact Form for WordPress" rel="ugc">WP Contact Form</a>, Easy Contact includes newer WordPress features (e.g., shortcode) and greatly improved form security. Easy Contact is just another contact form, except built with clean XHTML and improved security.</p>
<h3>Use</h3>
<p>After activating this plugin, simply use the shortcode <code>[easy-contact]</code> wherever you want the Easy Contact form. This shortcode takes no attributes.</p>
<pre><code>[easy-contact]
</code></pre>
<p>You will also want to customize the Easy Contact plugin from the <em>Settings > Contact</em> options menu. Here you can set the email address to receive submissions, text for legends, labels, and prompts, turn on spam reduction measure(s), etc.</p>
<p>Included with Easy Contact is a example style sheet file with images. Easy Contact features dynamic classes, so when an input field is returned to the user for an error-related issue, the input is given the class <code>error</code>, etc.</p>
<p>If you are using the Sandbox or a Sandbox-based theme template, you probably won’t need much (if any) CSS customization, as Easy Contact shares the same design patterns as the Sandbox comment form.</p>
<p>And so on. A very simple plugin.</p>

Contact Form 7

I recommend this plugin. It's easy to use, both technical and non-technical and, most importantly, works as expected.

Recommended.


Unlike version 5.6.4 [ prnt.sc/6jnDIye9Dva4 ], update 5.7.1 continues to wrap "p" markup inside "div" and "td" [ prnt.sc/N7I5StxLCtVy ]. 



It breaks the appearance of the forms.


Update 5.7.1 continues to wrap markup inside and

This has never failed


We've been using this plugin for years with many clients. What we like about it is that if things go awry, it's almost always not the plugin that's caused the issue but instead the mail sending setup on the Wordpress installation. We also like that the plugin sporadically asks the admin to check / validate the forms for any issues.


Our go-to form plugin


It's a must have tool. We use it all the time in our agency!


Must have


Unbelivable stupid ReCaptch integration, why you require to use only Invisible Recaptcha ??? I want to use the checkbox because with the invisible all messages are SPAM no matter what I write!!!!


ReCaptcha


For someone who develops web pages from scratch like me, this is definitely the best and most configurable solution. Everything works flawlessly and it's free!



Thanks to the developer for a great plugin!


The most flexible contact form!


I absolutely love Contact Form 7. As a professional developer with clients at every price point, I still prefer it over the premium plugins because of how simple and versatile it is. It embodies the concept of plugins in that it only provides the functionality you need and if you want more, there's a plugin for that! Absolutely versatile and I personally love making add-ons for CF7!


Best contact form plugin for WordPress


I do not use many plugins but this is one of 2-3 essentials


The best plugin for contact form


What a useless developer. Can not reply to support requests!!!support/topic/add-a-code-to-validation-class-please


Useless Support


This free plugin is very useful and has done what it was supposed to do for many years. However, there are a few issues that are very annoying and a total deal breaker, if not a show stopper:




Plugin creator did not comply with WordPress Codex regarding how translations are handled. Thus this plugin will eventually cause problems in a multilingual site.



Forum support by plugin creator is very poor. He replies, yes, but his replies are a joke. He simply doesn't care. He doesn't read properly nor does he do any testing, even after providing everything he asked for. He is a time stealer.




My personal resume: I will switch contact forms on all of my clients' sites. There are better alternatives out there. I am of course willing to pay for support. And this is my suggestion for @takayukister : provide paid support, if you think your time is too valuable, to give a useful reply or provide assistance with your free plugin. Or take that plugin offline or officially state that you won't provide support at all and refrain from stealing people's time by requesting non sense things and then ignoring them in return.


Translation issue and nightmare support.

All time best

Just another contact form plugin. Simple but flexible.
