<h3>Usage</h3>
<p>Add the contact form to any post or page using the shortcode:</p>
<pre><code>[sscfp_contact_form]
</code></pre>
<p>Backwards compatibility: if you were using the old shortcode, it still works:</p>
<pre><code>[simple_contact_form]
</code></pre>
<p>After adding the shortcode:<br />
– Pick your preferred theme under the <strong>Themes</strong> tab.<br />
– Configure SMTP (optional) under <strong>Settings</strong>.<br />
– Choose captcha type (Internal captcha or Google reCAPTCHA).</p>
<h3>External services</h3>
<p>This plugin can optionally connect to <strong>Google reCAPTCHA</strong> to help prevent spam submissions.</p>
<p>When Google reCAPTCHA is enabled in the plugin settings:</p>
<ul>
<li>The visitor’s browser loads Google’s reCAPTCHA JavaScript from google.com when the form is displayed.</li>
<li>On form submission, the plugin sends the reCAPTCHA token (and, if available, the visitor’s IP address) to Google’s verification endpoint to validate the challenge.</li>
</ul>
<p>Google reCAPTCHA is provided by Google LLC.</p>
<ul>
<li>Terms: https://policies.google.com/terms</li>
<li>Privacy: https://policies.google.com/privacy</li>
</ul>
<h4>Does this plugin require SMTP?</h4>
<p>No. SMTP is optional. You can use your default WordPress mail configuration, or enable SMTP for better deliverability.</p>
<h4>Which captcha options are available?</h4>
<p>You can choose:<br />
– <strong>Internal Captcha</strong> (simple “solve the sum” style)<br />
– <strong>Google reCAPTCHA</strong> (v2/v3 compatible)</p>
<h4>How do I change the email sender / reply-to?</h4>
<p>In <strong>Settings</strong>, you can configure:<br />
– <strong>Sender (From)</strong> address (optional)<br />
– <strong>Reply-To override</strong> (optional)<br />
If Reply-To is blank, it will default to the visitor’s email.</p>
<h4>How many themes are included?</h4>
<p><strong>18 included themes</strong> are built into the plugin. You can also extend with theme pack addons.</p>
<h4>Can I add more themes?</h4>
<p>Yes — via the <strong>Addons</strong> tab (if you use theme pack addons). You can also use the <strong>Theme Editor addon</strong> (if installed) to make your own.</p>
<h4>Will it work on mobile?</h4>
<p>Yes. The form themes are designed to be responsive.</p>
<h4>Where are addon ZIPs installed?</h4>
<p>Addons are extracted into:<br />
    /wp-content/uploads/sscfp-addons/</p>
<h4>Is this plugin GDPR friendly?</h4>
<p>The plugin does not add tracking. If you enable Google reCAPTCHA, Google may process user data per their policies. If you want to avoid third-party services, use the internal captcha.</p>
