zero point for the latest version that causes all the forms on the sites to crash …
Go all the way down, and opt for an earlier version otherwise it’s the cat and do not update this plugin as long as the author does not reconsider his decision of reCaptcha V3 that just does not work (empty space). ..

Help ! What idea did you go through the head?

I don’t have a problem getting emails from any of my sites so this “configuration error” garbage is not needed. Add that stuff about “email should be from own domain” to the FAQs and leave the actual plugin alone. I’ve got several sites and I’m not setting up a separate email for each domain.
I’m just using the contact form that comes with Mr Scott Allen’s awesome wp-spamshield now.

K.I.S.S.

I have used this on every site I have made since I started. Your recent update has broken it. The captcha v3 does not work. Undo what you did to make it break. I have just installed very simple contact form and it works with a simple captcha. Thanks for the years of a good plugin but you have just ruined it.

I’ve been using this plugin on multiple websites and it never hurt me ????

I loved this plugin. So simple, easy etc., the changes (and I get why) have made it pretty-much impossible to use… too much messing around just to setup something simple that should have been achieved in 5 mins. Impossible to test with the ‘domain’ issue (not everyone has access to domain emails) – just don’t understand why…

I have nothing to add to the previous reviews – the plugin works great for me as well! Thanks

What happened? The plugin throws errors and does not send messages! Do something about it urgently!

Are you kidding me? Date field only support US date format and is not possible to change that.

I needed 3 additional plugins to get a contact form working?
Why would any theme developers ever recommend CF7?

Good Riddance

Best contact form

Takayuki, I don’t know if there are better plugins out there and I don’t care. I will not switch anytime soon. I like what you’re doing, especially with Flamingo — I recommend everyone install this add-on ASAP. I’ve got 10 sites running CF7 and have no problems at all. It’s great for lengthy and very complex forms. I also like that I can easily add descriptive copy and instructions between the fields and apply my theme’s input css to your contact forms. Really, really great plugin! Another donation sent.

Peace

Had to use broken plugin of contact form 7 to do it…

Worst update ever. V3 slows down sites, returns server errors, does not load pages, inserts an annoying side banner. And, as if that was not enough, it does not protect against spam. Since it was updated to V3, the email box is full of spam. Terrible. Bad work. We will all abandon this plugin. No words are enough for all the damages you caused.

This update is needed because of new changes in mail handling

If you get the error
‘This field can be empty depending on user input.”
place in subject section of mail configuration in plugin setting
“[your-subject]”

If you get error
“the email doesn’t belong the same domain”
replace
[your-name] <[your-email]>
with
[your-name] <[email protected]>

I suggest to place in future a more clear advice in plugin configuration section so people can see more easily the reason and importance of latest update.

This plugin is notorious for changing functionality and causing breaking changes. It is a crap shoot after every update. Will you lose all your settings? It has happened on 3 separate occasions. It is the WORST plugin I have came across!!

I hate when developers act like this. How can they even think it is a good idea to force everyone to upgrade to recaptcha v3 – which obviously does not work properly??? I am managing many websites and this would mean tens of hours of work for me. unnecessary work!

I am super annoyed and thought CF7 was one of the most stable and well maintained plugins out there. You proved me wrong. And it is your faul that me and my clients are annoyed by piles of spam!

Thanks for nothing! Screw you!

The most horrible complicated poorly documented mail form plugin ever developed for WordPress. Disastrous explaining on their documentation! Hire a proper translator and editor who can explain in simple terms how to set this up!

With over 1,500 websites under my belt I can assure you that Contact Form 7 is the worst piece of garbage plugin known to WordPress.
Fails to work 90% of the time. Many people having trouble with it and just wasting time trying to figure it out. Support from them doesn’t exist, they just keep sending you back to their useless support page which is outdated and not complete. They pad the reviews from fake accounts so people will think it’s a good plugin but everyone see’s through their scam reviews.

Theme builders need to stop including contact form 7 in their themes.

If you have contact form 7 on your WordPress site, UN-INSTALL it and save yourself a lot of time and headaches.

There are far better FREE contact form builders out there that are easier and offer support when needed.

the app was good but not support comes when needed some errors like
There was an error trying to send your message. Please try again later. comes more and more time

The only thing worse than having Gutenberg thrust upon me is the changes to CF7. I don’t want a stinking Google badge on the lower right of EVERY SINGLE PAGE ON MY WEBSITE. Unacceptable!!!!!!!

it works for me, and that’s what I want my plugins to be! would recommend.

Thanks for your hard work ????

Works very well and does the job nicely!

Works Very Well

This is the gold standard for free contact form plugins on WordPress. It does require some attention on the part of the user, but if you work carefully and precisely through the settings, the result works very well. Also, for those skilled with CSS, it can be styled to make the forms suit whatever look you want them to have. Those not skilled with CSS will need to consult a developer in order to style the forms.
