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!

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?

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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! :-)

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!

Shawn — Thu, 17 May 2007 12:01:53 -0000

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.

Re: WordPress Contact Form with Spam Protection Version 2.0.0 Released!

Douglas Karr — Tue, 15 May 2007 10:12:40 -0000

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

Re: WordPress Contact Form with Spam Protection Version 2.0.0 Released!

Shawn — Tue, 15 May 2007 09:55:42 -0000

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!!

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

Brandon,

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

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...

Noah — Mon, 07 May 2007 21:19:39 -0000

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

Re: WordPress Contact Form with Spam Protection Version 2.0.0 Released!

Douglas Karr — Mon, 07 May 2007 16:57:53 -0000

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.

Re: WordPress Contact Form with Spam Protection Version 2.0.0 Released!

Douglas Karr — Mon, 07 May 2007 16:56:49 -0000

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

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.

Dean Taplin — Mon, 07 May 2007 14:15:45 -0000

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.

Re: WordPress Contact Form with Spam Protection Version 2.0.0 Released!

Douglas Karr — Mon, 07 May 2007 10:59:29 -0000

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. :)

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")
