Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site. Why active installs don’t tell the whole story →

WP PlugIndex currently records Contact Form Zero version 1.6 as active, updated 3mo ago and tested up to WordPress 7.0.

Overview

About this plugin

Zero Difficulty. Zero Spam.

Add a stupidly simple and lightweight contact form to your website in any page, post, or text widget with this shortcode:

[contact-form-zero]

The entire point of this plugin is to be completely hands-free, easy, and just work straight out-of-the-box. Simply plug and play without any required settings to adjust.

If you’re looking for the exact opposite of that, that is, a form you can custom build with advanced options, I recommend Contact Form 7.

Features

  • The most lightweight contact form plugin available for WordPress (no required settings to adjust or forms to create)
  • Name, Email, Phone, and Message form fields (phone field is optional for your visitors)
  • Automatically sends emails to the email address set under Settings > General > Administration Email Address
  • Optimized for accessibility
  • Highly effective and hidden anti-spam measures (no annoying CAPTCHAs required)
  • Enable Google reCAPTCHA for additional protection if you like (usually no annoying CAPTCHAs required)
  • Enable hCaptcha for additional protection if you like (CAPTCHAs required — only paid accounts for the hCaptcha service offer invisible options)
  • Enable Cloudflare Turnstile for additional protection if you like (no annoying CAPTCHAs required)
  • Enable Akismet for additional protection if you like (privacy implications)
  • Fully compatible with all the protections of Dam Spam (fork of Stop Spammers)
  • Easy to customize with CSS (please ask for help if you need it — I’m happy to write custom code for you to copy/paste)
