Contact Coldform

Beschreibung

Contact Coldform is a secure, lightweight, flexible contact form with plenty of options and squeaky clean markup. Coldform blocks spam while making it easy for your visitors to contact you from your WordPress-powered website.

The plugin settings make it easy to take full control with plenty of options and several built-in themes for styling the form. Coldform delivers everything you need and nothing you don’t — no frills, no gimmicks, just pure contact-form satisfaction.

FAQ

Where does the shortcode go? What about the template tag?

The shortcode may be used on any Post or Page. For example, if you log in to the Admin Area and view a Page named „Contact“, you can add the shortcode anywhere in the Page content to display the form. To use the template tag, add it to the desired location in your theme template. For example, if you have a custom page template named page-contact.php, you could add the template tag directly after <?php the_content(); ?> to display the form.

Where does the CSS go? How do I change the form styles?

Visit the „Appearance and Styles“ panel in the plugin settings. There you may configure appearance and add custom CSS for the form.

Can I add multiple Coldforms to my site?

Yes, you can add multiple instances of the shortcode and/or template tag.

What is the plugin setting for the „From Address“?

That setting enables you to customize the address used as the „From“ header for email messages. By default, Coldform uses the same address that is used by WordPress to send alert messages. So if WP is installed on yourdomain.com, the default value is something like „wordpress@yourdomain.com“. That address is proven to work great for most setups. But the option is there if you know what you are doing and want to change it to something else. If in doubt for the „From Address“ setting, just use the default value, „wordpress@yourdomain.com“ (replace „yourdomain.com“ with your actual domain name).

If you want simple and straight forward contact form, this is good. A few nice features are template tag beside shortcode, antispam challenge customization, and success/error messages customization. However I need a couple more form fields of my own but am stuck with jus the basic fields. No custom fields available which is essential. Hope that the author adds custom fields in the future and wins me back.

This is a wonderful contact plugin, except that when one fills out the form the text does not get centered vertically in the box so you cannot read what you type. Is this something that can be fixed in the next update?

I am no longer confidant in this contact form. recently I've had many people email me because they said I never contacted them after the filled out the contact form. Not good for business! I'm looking for a better one.
