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.

Overview

About this plugin

Provide your users and visitors a simple and straight forward contact form.

The modern design is very clear, easy to navigate and with light-weight JS and CSS code. One big benefit is its flexible positioning in pages and posts as a modern style block or classic shortcode.

To keep your website safe, it comes with built in spam and bot protection, by using Akisment and reCaptcha for messages sent by visitors. The plugin is continuously improved and used on live websites since 2012.

th23 Contact is built with some few goals in mind:

  • Simple and straight forward option for user to contact you
  • Light-weight code basis without overheads and frameworks
  • Easy to adapt styling to fit any page design and layout
  • Fight spam and bots without unnecessary hurdles (admittedly it’s a compromise)

See it in action on my Contact page.

Usage

Simply insert a new th23 Contact form block into the post / page using the plus sign in the Gutenberg editor or start typing /th23 Contact form.

Alternatively use the [th23-contact] shortcode directly in the source code editor view of a post / page or insert it as a legacy shortcode block.

NOTE

The th23 Contact form block and / or shortcode can only be used once per post / page!

Any second instance in the same post / page will be ignored upon frontend rendering and not show up.

TIP

Ensure th23 contact form is enabled for the sepcific post / page – see admin area under Settings -> th23 Contact.
