DISQUS

Wes Bos · 2 years ago

Great work, Ill definately be using this on my new site that I'm developing right now.

Douglas Karr · 2 years ago

Thanks Wes! It took me a few months to catch up on the work I needed to do with this plugin. I hope to make it multi-lingual and add additional style customization in the future... just wanted to get this one out now, though!

I was using iFrames and some other HTML forms before this. And now I think I am going to try this form system now.

Nicholas · 2 years ago

Hi Douglas, I haven't used this plugin yet, but may implement it in my blogs in the near future.

I actually didn't even know you were developing these type of things, maybe I should stop by more often.

But, again, I just wanted to drop by and say hi. It seems like a month or so since I haven't said hi.

Douglas Karr · 2 years ago

Hi Nicholas!

Welcome back and I'd love you to check in more often. :)

You can check out all the development projects on my Project Page. I've also got a couple more websites under development that should make a nice splash!

More to come!

Fantastic improvements! I'll likely upgrade all my existing WP contact forms with this one. The custom subject lines are a great addition.

I'll also add it to the plugin list at wpZipper.

You might consider giving it a new name, so people can better differentiate it from the previous Contact Form plugin(s).

Karr Contact? (I resisted the use of a double "K")

Douglas Karr · 2 years ago

Thanks, Noah!

I think changing the name at this point might be a bad idea - it's been downloaded tens of thousands of times and is, by far, my most active page. Also ... the naming, "Wordpress Contact Form with Spam Protection", has significant SEO value. :)

Doug

Noah · 2 years ago

Ah, I wasn't even considering the history your plugin has. Yes, changing the name sounds like a bad idea on second thought.

Dean Taplin · 2 years ago

Great work Doug. I had a bit of trouble getting this to work at first, but I found deleting my old contact page and creating a new one did the trick.

Douglas Karr · 2 years ago

Thanks Dean. I had some trouble with WP-Cache continuously caching it regardless. I wound up turning it off until got the page where I needed it and then turned caching back on.

John Koetsier · 2 years ago

Douglas, that rocks. Thanks so much for making such a great plugin that I've already found useful on a site I did for a non-profit and I think I'll find useful again on a site I'm doing for my artist brother-in-law.

Douglas Karr · 2 years ago

You bet, John! Thanks for the kind comments. If you can think of some additional features, don't hesitate to drop me a line.

Brandon Wood · 2 years ago

Great work again Doug! The contact form looks very slick, I plan on adding it to my site as soon as I get a few extra minutes...

Douglas Karr · 2 years ago

Brandon,

You always take the time to write something nice! I really appreciate it!

Doug

Brandon Wood · 2 years ago

No problem Doug - you consistently do a great job on this blog, so you make it easy to have something nice to say :)

Shawn · 2 years ago

OKay, I'm using this on my site, and it's rad. Just what I needed, plus better. Thank you for making the perfect WordPress contact form!!

Douglas Karr · 2 years ago

You bet, Shawn! More customization to come! The ability to add additional questions and customize the layout and styles!

Shawn · 2 years ago

One thing I would like to know: how do you make your comments work like this? I would love to be able to have the option to reply to comments, etc. It looks great.

Douglas Karr · 2 years ago

Shawn, that's the million dollar answer! I actually wrote the good folks at Akismet and asked them if they'd like to work with me to create this for comments and they didn't sound enthusiastic about it.

However, WordPress 2.2 has some new comment hook capability so it may be possible for a plugin to be created. I'll do some digging and see!

Douglas, how did you know my birthday is coming up?!?

This is wonderful! The Best Plugin Ever! And just when I thought it couldn't get better! :-)

Douglas Karr · 2 years ago

Happy Birthday, Joni! Glad to hear it. More to come! Be sure to check out my other projects!

Douglas Karr · 2 years ago

I added a new release tonight with an optional checkbox to copy yourself on the submission.

Dean @ Sachi · 2 years ago

Hey Doug- It's certainly been awhile. I ran into this plugin while doing a search. Great job on it.

Question: how do you add a drop down list as you said? are we supposed to go into our contact page and just add '( Option A | Option B | etc... ) ? Doesn't seem to work right for me. Obviously, I'm missing something.

Douglas Karr · 2 years ago

That's a feature of the latest releases, Dean. If you have the latest releast - yes, you can simply add your subjects and deliminate them using a Pipe.

Nick Normal · 2 years ago

Hi Douglas,

is it possible to 'strip down' this plugin so that it reads simply as:
'YOUR EMAIL: [text input box] [submit button]'?????
very simple. and the user puts their email into that box, and it gets sent to one of our emails, for the user to join a mailing list (which we input manually).

is this too far out of the way to use a WP plugin for a simple function?

also, after someone hits the 'submit' button to what page are they taken? or does it verify the submit?

cheers for your help!
Nick

Douglas Karr · 2 years ago

Nick,

I think you took a left turn somewhere... this isn't an email subscription plugin, it's a contact page plugin. I you'd like an email subscription tool, I'd recommend Feedburner.

Thanx for that great plugin. Is an ultimate one. You could see it in action at my site too. Reduced a lot of spam burden.

Becky · 2 years ago

Hi, I've been looking for a comment form for a customer's wordpress-based site. They would like to have two forms for two different groups using the site.

Is this possible with your plugin?

Douglas Karr · 2 years ago

Updated to 2.0.7 today. This version uses wp_mail - a great change thanks to Callum Macdonald. For all of you folks who have been having troubles with mail working with your host - this should do the trick!

Michaël · 2 years ago

Great plugin,

I would like to use two forms in one website, is this possible?
