Simple Contact Form Revisited Plugin (Plugin on WordPress.org) (Download Plugin)

A simple, yet elegant email contact form plugin that installs as a widget. The contact form widget is using jQuery for validation. In addition, the widget makes it difficult for email bots to harvest your email address by encrypting it before rendering the HTML form. This sidebar widget is particularly useful when you want to allow your visitors to contact you without forcing them to navigate away from the current page.

In addition to the widget, the plugin also installs contact form short code that can be used in pages, posts and text widgets. The short code generates a contact form that functions just like the form in the widget.

In order to use short code in a post, page or a text widget, please note the following example: [    contactform email  ="<PUT YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS HERE>"    ]. If no email address specified, the blog admin email is going to be used.

  1. Just wanted to say, love your plug in, fast and simple, just what I needed, If I may offer a suggestions in the widget.php

    On line 84 you have
    <textarea required="required" name="contact__content” class=”textarea” cols=”33″ rows=”5″ tabindex=”10″>

    Well if you change the Tabindex to 13 it will come standard out the box with tabbing correctly.

    As so

    <textarea required="required" name="contact__content” class=”textarea” cols=”33″ rows=”5″ tabindex=”13″>

  2. I am using the “widget” version of your plugin. It was working until today (03/21/12) when one of my friends tried to send me a email. He said when he clicked on the “Submit” button, he got a “blank white screen with a 0 (zero)” on the upper left hand corner of the screen and it just stood there… no activity. The only changes I recall performing (aside from the widget updates) before this problem came up today is upgrading WordPress to 3.3.1.

  6. Cool plugin. I am tring to put this as a footer on my site. Whenever I hit the submit button it goes to a blank screen and never sends an email. I have checked my spam folder and they aren’t there. Any suggestions?

  7. Hi Alexander,

    Thank you for creating this awesome plugin!

    In the Delight full-page theme, the zoom control ends up in the middle of the map (http://greenboard.ca/example/google-map/). Is there any way to fix this? (In a content-centered theme this is not an issue.)

    Also, in the full-page theme, when clicking on the directions to/from buttons, the directions dialogue shows only the top part and I am unable to scroll to see the rest of it. Is this fixable within a full-page theme?

    Finally, is there any way to use your plugin to create a dynamically updated map, with locations added/removed using an online form? (Similar to the Fair Trade Finder – MAP http://fairtrade.ca/en/fair_trade_finder ONLINE FORM http://fairtrade.ca/en/node/add/retailer)

    Thanks very much,
    Rob

    • Hi, in your theme’s CSS the following rule causes headache with the zoom, you can comment on it while I will apply the override in my plugin’s CSS:

      .gmnoprint {
      right: 98px !important;
      }

      Regarding dynamically updated map, I do not support such functionality ATM.

      Also, I noticed the you used A html element when wanted to create a hyper link in info bubble description, please refer to plugin documentation or help tooltip. You cant use HTML tags. If you want to add a link, you should use the following format (please include the hashes and the space between URL and the name):
      #http://greenboard.ca/example/portfolio/green-org1 Green Org1#

      “Also, in the full-page theme, when clicking on the directions to/from buttons, the directions dialogue shows only the top part and I am unable to scroll to see the rest of it. Is this fixable within a full-page theme”
      <— I really need to see this. Everything is fixable… But I need to see what to fix

  8. Hello, I’ve installed your contact form plugin and it works really well. Only one thing – I’m using it in the footer, and the right hand side of the text entry box is being ‘clipped’ – i.e. it doesn’t fit in the footer space allocated. I’m using the Mystique theme. Is there a way I can control the width of the text entry box? My coding is extremely basic but if you wouldn’t mind telling me which file to edit and what field to edit, I can have a go …
    Thanks very much!

  9. Fantastic Google Maps plugin! I would like to change the alignment, size and color of the text above the google map. Is this possible using ATM?

    Thanks for all the hard work!

  10. Quick question, I want to add text such as “Nearest Bar” or “Clinic” to my markers on the map,
    is it possible in anyway for me to do this in the bubble, instead of having the longitude and latitude show there?

    Reply ↓

  11. I added this short code to my contact us page. Put during testing when I hit submit it doesn’t do anything.
    Am I missing something with some other configuration with wordpress? Thanks, I can get form to display fine…but after submit is hit nothing happens?

    [contactform email=mark@dekalbgameday.com]

  12. I have added the plug in but in testing it, it seems to lock up after I hit submit. Is there some configuration I need to do so it knows where to email the contact info? Thanks,

    Reply ↓

  13. Hi Alex, I’m playing around with your GMaps Plugin. I have one question: Is it possible to give the marker only a Lat/Long and something like a custom name? I would like to use this as GMaps is not showing the Marker at the right place when entering the regular Adress.
    Thanks, Max

  15. I was just wondering if it is at all possible to customise the contact form to force people to add a subject line or to allow a subject drop-down menu.

  16. I’m using a theme geared for real-estate that has a “listing” section in addition to the posts section, the widget doesn’t come up at the bottom when creating a listing. Any way to remedy this? It’s hard to see without acces to the backend.

  18. Hi, so far the contact form looks great. I put a shortcode on a mobile page. What I want to know how to take out or edit the wording on the pin-up note at the bottom which reads: Autoresponder goes here.

    Wouldn’t mind leaving the pin-up note but cannot have the autoresponder in it. I cannot find anywhere in the code that addresses this part. Can you help find this in your code files??

    If I need to remove the pin-up note, thats okay as I would still like to use your form. Thanks!

    Reply ↓

  19. Ah… just removed both the quotation marks and the angle bracket, and it works like a charm! You may want to update your documentation as follows-
    Instead of this: [ contactform email ="" ]
    Put this: [contactform email=name@yourwebsite.com]
    or maybe this: [contactform email=your email address]

    Cheers, and thanks for the nice plug-in!

  20. Hello, Alexander,
    I have installed your simple contact form revisited, and tested it a few minutes ago. No emails are arriving into my inbox. I have tried [contactform email="ralph@mysite.com"] and
    [contactform email=""] (Hard to tell from the directions which version is meant)
    and no luck.
    Please help!
    Thanks!

  21. Hi Alexander – I put the shortcode into the Contact Us page, the form appears but when the user clicks on submit it just says wait and never sends. I have this working fine on another site. Any suggestions of what might be wrong here? Thanks!

    • Hi Sharon,

      Hm… I really need to look inside your WP. Is it possible?

      Update, I know whats going on: The plugin actually posts to:
      trimaran.grassrootonline.com/wp-content/plugins/simple-contact-form-revisited-plugin/assets/wp-mailer.php.
      Since it is a cross-domain AJAX request, it is not allowed by the Innet browsers. The trimaran.grassrootonline.com is actually a different domain to trimaranfinancial.com . Thats hwy it does not work.

      I hope this helps.

  23. Hi Alex,
    Thanks so much for great contact plugin! I’m using the contact form as a widget on all pages of the site, however, I was wondering if there was a way to exclude one page, so that the contact form doesn’t appear on that one page.

    Thanks so much again!

  24. Well it didn’t work and I can see others also have problems. There are many other contact forms so I’ll try these. Personally I’d rather pay for a contact form that works without me having to do anything except activate it so I wonder if there is one out there which I’m looking for.

    Best wishes

  25. I am a complete newbie. I downloaded the plug-in. I got an Akismet API key. I activated both. Now what? I want to have a piece of text on a page that says “click here to send me an email”, where the ‘click here’ opens up a contact form when clicked. How do I do that? I assume it is easy, but I don’t know how to start. Thanks!!

    Reply ↓

  26. The plugin installed fine and the shortcode renders and publishes a form, the submit button works and says “Your message was successfully sent. Thank You!” The only problem is… no emails actually go anywhere, we have tried several in the shortcode to no avail. I’m wondering if we have to activate something in word press or configure at the site level, but was wondering if there’s anything obvious I might be missing at the page level. Thanks for your work. -Peter

  27. I have NO idea HOW to install the contact form on a separate page. I could find no directions anywhere associated with the plugin. I pasted the code I found into the HTML for a new page but did not get a usable version of the Contact Form. Can you help me with this? I am not interested in using this as a widget.

    Reply ↓

  28. Hi!
    I’ve installed your contact form (it’s JUST what we needed!) and sent a few test emails from my site, but they’re not coming to my email even after a few hours.
    What do you mean by: [contactform email=" PUT YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS HERE "] ? Could that be the problem, as I haven’t filled that out? The only place I see to put my email is in the Widgets section under “Title” and “Your Email.” I’ve looked in the editor files and don’t see anything like [contactform email=" PUT YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS HERE "].
    Second issue I’m having is on my site when I tab from Name to Email to the Message box, it won’t tab to the Message box and skips right over it to the “Submit” button.
    Thanks!
    Tom

  31. Hi Alex, great Google Map Plugin. I only have one problem maybe you can help me with, if you have the time. When the pop-up bubble appears when hovering over the marker, there is “Address:” but my specified address is not listed? The map works fine other than that.

    Reply ↓

  32. Hi Alex, love the google map plugin. One question: Is it possible for me to get rid of the “Additional Options” so that the directions can be moved up? And making the directions box a little bigger so that folks see the directions appear (vs having to scroll below the alt. routes)?

    Thanks.

  33. Hi again Alex. Regarding my previous post: My bad, finally I found out where to change the e-mail address. Easy as anything, just had to look a little bit further. Everything is fine, thank you. I’ll rate you top. One suggestion for improvement is that you make it easier to translate the few words of text, maybe by making them parameters or something. Just like the setting of the e-mail address I just found. Thanks again for your time.

  34. Hi Alex, your contact form plugin is top of the line for my use. Only need help to change the e-mail address sent to when using it as widget. Any setting that can be done in one of the files? I do not know where to change the default mail address that is used, that is why I am having this problem. Any tip on that? Thank you, appreciate your work :-)

  35. I have a wordpress install I just use for testing. It is the latest release, I am 100% confident my password was secure, nobody even knew this install existed except me, nobody has even visited it according to google analytics except me. Simple Contact Form Revisited Plugin was the only plugin installed. Today I find someone/something has gotten in and changed the email address and password. Explain that.

  36. Hi Alex, great Contact Form plugin, just a quick question, is it possible to specify 2 x email address within the form? something like [contactform email="test@test.com;abc@abc.com"] for example? the ‘contacts’ insist on using their personal email accounts instead of a group account :-/ Thanks in advance!

  37. Alex, I just installed your Simple Contact Form. I notice that the Tab Order seems to be out of order. After typing in a name I hit tab, then type in an email and hit tab expecting it to move to the body, but it goes some where else. Am I able to change this some where? Thanks!

  38. Hi Alex,
    I was able to move the labels (name & email) from right to left in my sidebar widget form by editing ‘simple-contact-form-revisited-plugin/widget.php’ under editor. But I couldn’t figure out how to move the labels on CONTACT page plugin from right to left? Please help and thanks in advance. Great simple form! (www.batikjewels.com)

    • Hi, try something like that:

      .contactform label {
      float: right !important;
      margin-right: 15px;
      }

      .contactform .textarea {
      float: right;
      width: 98% !important;
      }

      .contactform .text_input {
      float: right;
      width: 65% !important;
      }

      Just be careful, these CSS classes also shared by widget. So changes to the contact page might affect the contact form in the widget. So maybe do as follows:

      #main-content .contactform label {
      float: right !important;
      margin-right: 15px;
      }

      etc.

  43. I can’t download your twitter plugin at all. It keeps saying there is an error going to downloads folder, tried changing the folder and still errors. Went to the source to get the actual url, went to it, and that didn’t work either.

  45. Dear Alexander,
    Love your plugin!
    I was wondering what I need to change in the code to translate the appearence of the plugin in Dutch. I wolud like to change “Name” –> Naam, “Submit” –> “Versturen” and “Your message was successfully sent.
    Thank You!” in to my own language. Would this be possible? Thanks a lot!
