<p>Example: <code>[contact email_to="your-email-address" subject="your subject" label_submit="your label"]</code></p>
<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>

WCP Contact Form

I'm writing a book about WordPress for the non-techie, and this is the best contact form I've found with an easy configuration screen and a full set of features. The default settings are also right, except that you'll want to use the little gear on the Captcha field to change it to use reCAPTCHA, once you've entered your keys.



Best for ease of use

Cool !

The contact form plugin with dynamic fields, reCAPTCHA and other features that makes it easy to add custom contact form on your site in a few clicks
