<p>The Shortcode Popup Forms plugin allows you to easily add contact forms to your WordPress pages using a simple shortcode. When users click the contact button, a modern contact form appears with fields for name, title, email, and message. The plugin supports custom SMTP settings for reliable email delivery and offers multiple button design options.</p>
<h3>Features</h3>
<ul>
<li>Add a contact form anywhere using a simple shortcode</li>
<li>Assign the message recipient (person/department) per shortcode</li>
<li>Minimal, fast, and fully responsive</li>
<li>No bloat — only essential fields</li>
<li>GDPR-friendly (no tracking, no cookies)</li>
<li>Works with any theme</li>
<li>Supports custom success messages</li>
</ul>
<h3>Shortcode Example</h3>
<pre><code>`
</code></pre>
<p>[thaxam-contact name=”John Doe” email=”john@example.com”]<br />
    `</p>
<h3>Settings Page</h3>
<p>The plugin settings page can be accessed from your WordPress admin dashboard:</p>
<ol>
<li>Go to <strong>Tools > Shortcode Popup Forms</strong></li>
<li>Configure SMTP settings for custom email delivery</li>
<li>Customize button designs and default recipient information</li>
</ol>
<p>The settings page includes three tabs:<br />
– <strong>SMTP Settings</strong>: Configure custom SMTP server details for reliable email delivery<br />
– <strong>Default Recipient</strong>: Set default contact name and email for forms when not specified in shortcode<br />
– <strong>Button Design</strong>: Customize button appearance, colors, and behavior with multiple design options</p>
<h3>Usage</h3>
<p>Add the contact form to any page or post using the shortcode:</p>
<p>[thaxam-contact name=”John Doe” email=”johndoe@email.com”]</p>
<h3>Shortcode Parameters</h3>
<ul>
<li><code>name</code> (required): The name of the person to contact</li>
<li><code>email</code> (required): The email address to send the message to</li>
<li><code>design</code> (optional): Override the default button design (default, modern, gradient, outline, neumorphism, glassmorphism)</li>
</ul>
<h3>Examples</h3>
<p>[thaxam-contact name=”John Doe” email=”johndoe@email.com”]</p>
<p>This will create a “Send Email” button with the default design that reveals a contact form when clicked.</p>
<p>[thaxam-contact name=”Jane Smith” email=”jane@email.com” design=”modern”]</p>
<p>This will create a “Send Email” button with the modern design style.</p>
<h3>SMTP Configuration</h3>
<p>If the default WordPress email settings don’t work, you can configure custom SMTP settings:</p>
<ol>
<li>Go to <strong>Tools > Shortcode Popup Forms</strong> in your WordPress admin</li>
<li>Enter your SMTP server details:
<ul>
<li><strong>SMTP Host</strong>: Your email server hostname (e.g., smtp.gmail.com)</li>
<li><strong>SMTP Port</strong>: Usually 587 for TLS or 465 for SSL</li>
<li><strong>SMTP Encryption</strong>: TLS, SSL, or None</li>
<li><strong>SMTP Username</strong>: Your email username</li>
<li><strong>SMTP Password</strong>: Your email password</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Save the settings</li>
</ol>
<h3>Gmail Configuration Example</h3>

– SMTP Host: smtp.gmail.com<br />
– SMTP Port: 587<br />
– SMTP Encryption: TLS<br />
– SMTP Username: your-gmail@gmail.com<br />
– SMTP Password: Your Gmail app password (not your regular password)</p>
<p><strong>Note</strong>: You may need to enable “Less secure app access” or generate an app password for Gmail.</p>
