<h3>Usage</h3>
Add the contact form to any post or page using the shortcode:
<pre><code>[sscfp_contact_form]
</code></pre>
Backwards compatibility: if you were using the old shortcode, it still works:
<pre><code>[simple_contact_form]
</code></pre>
After adding the shortcode: 
– Pick your preferred theme under the Themes tab. 
– Configure SMTP (optional) under Settings. 
– Choose captcha type (Internal captcha or Google reCAPTCHA).
<h3>External services</h3>
This plugin can optionally connect to Google reCAPTCHA to help prevent spam submissions.
When Google reCAPTCHA is enabled in the plugin settings:
<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>
Google reCAPTCHA is provided by Google LLC.
<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>
No. SMTP is optional. You can use your default WordPress mail configuration, or enable SMTP for better deliverability.
<h4>Which captcha options are available?</h4>
You can choose: 
– Internal Captcha (simple “solve the sum” style) 
– Google reCAPTCHA (v2/v3 compatible)
<h4>How do I change the email sender / reply-to?</h4>
In Settings, you can configure: 
– Sender (From) address (optional) 
– Reply-To override (optional) 
If Reply-To is blank, it will default to the visitor’s email.
<h4>How many themes are included?</h4>
18 included themes are built into the plugin. You can also extend with theme pack addons.
<h4>Can I add more themes?</h4>
Yes — via the Addons tab (if you use theme pack addons). You can also use the Theme Editor addon (if installed) to make your own.
<h4>Will it work on mobile?</h4>
Yes. The form themes are designed to be responsive.
<h4>Where are addon ZIPs installed?</h4>
Addons are extracted into: 
 /wp-content/uploads/sscfp-addons/
<h4>Is this plugin GDPR friendly?</h4>
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.

CaptchaFox for WordPress


When activate a plugin, you could see a settings with "Configure the settings for the CaptchaFox widget. Don't have a site key? Click here to create an account". And it linked to a dead link "portal.captchafox.com" (not working URL).



This plugin has too simple settings, and no helpful document to make it works.



2 first 5 stars reviews seems was fake by their team which violates a rule of WordPress community.
