<p>When using the block or the widget, don’t add the main shortcode tag or the brackets.</p>
<p>Example: <code>email_to="your-email-address" subject="your subject" label_submit="your label"</code></p>
<h4>Display form submissions in dashboard</h4>
<p>Via the settings page you can activate form submissions being stored and displayed in your dashboard.</p>
<p>After activation go to menu item “Submissions”. Your form submissions will be listed here.</p>
<h4>SMTP</h4>
<p>SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) is an internet standard for sending emails.</p>
<p>By default, WordPress uses the PHP <code>mail()</code> function for sending emails. But when using SMTP there’s less chance your form submissions are being marked as spam.</p>
<p>You must install an additional plugin for this, such as <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-mail-smtp/" rel="ugc">WP mail SMTP</a>.</p>
<h4>Cache</h4>
<p>If you’re using a caching plugin and want to avoid conflicts with the contact form, exclude your contact page from caching. This can be done via the settings page of most caching plugins.</p>
<h4>Have a question?</h4>
<p>Please take a look at the FAQ section.</p>
<h4>Translation</h4>
<p>Translations are not included, but the plugin supports WordPress language packs.</p>
<p>More <a href="https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/very-simple-contact-form" rel="nofollow ugc">translations</a> are very welcome!</p>
<p>The translation folder inside this plugin is redundant, but kept for reference.</p>
<h4>Credits</h4>
<p>Without help and support from the WordPress community I was not able to develop this plugin, so thank you!</p>
