Plugin: Yet Another Simple but Flexible Contact Form

Posted on June 1, 2009 at 12:01 am as Plugin

Contact Form 7 is just another contact form plugin. Simple but flexible. It can manage multiple contact forms, plus you can customize the form and the mail contents flexibly with simple markup. The form supports Ajax-powered submitting, CAPTCHA, Akismet spam filtering and so on. You should also look at cform which is offering convenient deployment of multiple contact forms throughout your blog as well.

For a long time I was using cforms – and after too many damned updates and the fact that it was quite a hefty size, I decided to find an alternative.

Contact Form 7 is by far the most flexible and lightweight contact form available for WP. I love the fact that you can add and remove elements by adding a few tags and clicking save.

I use it on all of my client builds, site flips and personal blogs.

It is the absolute goods!

Having used both I way prefer cforms. It’s a lot more configurable and the one big plus – the forms can be displayed site-wide across many product pages and will display the page or post title that the form was sent from. CF7 doesn’t do that in spite of so many users asking on the support forum – the question is just always ignored.

Best I can tell, this contact form is not compatible with Thesis 1.5.1 if you want to use conversion tracking via Joost de Valk’s analytics plugin. (this is a very popular combination.)

The Javascript events associated with Google Analytics never fire…. I’m not sure why, something to do with how.

I *adore* Contact forms 7, but it’s inability to redirect people to a “thank you page” has caused me great worries.
