<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>

Anti-spam, Spam protection, ReCaptcha for all forms and GDPR-compliant


Blocked hundreds of spam WooCommerce orders, and the plugin continues to be actively monitored and improved. I'm sure it will continue to get even better. Great work.


Excellent


The developer is really motivated to get this plugin going. Nice guy.



And the plugin helps catching spam without violating GDPR. Great for german or EU-sites.



Thanks a lot for this plugin.


Works like a charm and great developer-support

Anti-spam - CAPTCHA that protects all forms against spam and brute-force. Invisible and GDPR-compliant.
