Author: Mike Challis Fast and Secure Contact Form for WordPress. This contact form lets your visitors send you a quick E-mail message. Blocks all common spammer tactics. Spam is no longer a problem. Includes a CAPTCHA and Akismet support. Does not require JavaScript. Easy and Quick 3 step install
Installation:
Upload the si-contact-form folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory, or download through the Plugins menu in WordPress Activate the plugin through the Plugins menu in WordPress. Look for the Settings link to configure the Options. You must add the shortcode [si-contact-form form=1] in a Page(not a Post). That Page will become your Contact Form. Here is how: Log into your blog admin dashboard. Click Pages, click Add New, add a title to your page, enter the shortcode [si-contact-form form=1] in the page, uncheck Allow Comments, click Publish. Test an email from your form. Updates are automatic. Click on "Upgrade Automatically" if prompted from the admin menu. If you ever have to manually upgrade, simply deactivate, uninstall, and repeat the installation steps with the new version. I just installed this and do not get any email from it, what could be wrong? Use the E-mail test feature in options, if you are not receiving mail, try it. It will display troubleshooting information. Look for a warning message on the Options page for when the web host has mail() function disabled. Make sure you have the correct "E-mail To:" set in options. If that is correct, then this setting in the contact form options might help you.... "E-mail From:" ... Normally you should leave this blank because the email will be from the sender. If your contact form does not send any email, then set "E-mail To:" and "E-mail From:" to an email address on the SAME domain as your web site. This fix works for web hosts that do not allow PHP to send email unless the email address is on the same web domain. They do this to help prevent spam. Here is another option for you: Get a free gmail account. Install the plugin called WP Mail SMTP, then set it to use gmail SMTP for mail. Set these settings for "WP Mail SMTP": Mailer: SMTP, SMTP Host: smtp.gmail.com, SMTP Port: 465, Encryption: SSL, Authentication: Yes, Username: your full gmail address, Password: your mail password. Now use gmail to check for your contact form mail, or set gmail to forward the mail to your other address.

I just installed this and do not get any email from it, what could be wrong? Use the E-mail test feature in options, if you are not receiving mail, try it.

Make sure you have the correct "E-mail To:" set in options. If that is correct, then this setting in the contact form options might help you.... "E-mail From:" ... Normally you should leave this blank because the email will be from the sender. If your contact form does not send any email, then set "E-mail To:" and "E-mail From:" to an email address on the SAME domain as your web site. This fix works for web hosts that do not allow PHP to send email unless the email address is on the same web domain. They do this to help prevent spam. What is "ERROR: Misconfigured E-mail address in options.", what could be wrong? First, make sure you have a valid "E-mail To:" set in options. This plugin uses an email validation check to make sure the email address has proper syntax and that a valid DNS record exists for the email domain name. If you have this error and you are sure your email address is correct, maybe your server is having trouble with the DNS check. I added a feature to the options panel to disable the DNS check during email validation. You may have to uncheck this option: "Enable checking DNS records for the domain name when checking for a valid E-mail address." Maybe the error will go away now. Why do I get "ERROR: Could not read CAPTCHA cookie."? Check your web browser settings and make sure you are not blocking cookies for your blog domain. Cookies have to be enabled in your web browser and not blocked for the blog web domain. If you get this error, your browser is blocking cookies or you have another plugin that is conflicting (in that case I would like to help you further to determine which one). I can tell you that the plugin called "Shopp" is not compatible because it handles sessions differently causing the "ERROR: Could not read CAPTCHA cookie. Make sure you have cookies enabled". There is a Cookie Test that can be used to test if your browser is accepting cookies from your site: Click on the "Test if your PHP installation will support the CAPTCHA" link on the Options page. or open this URL in your web browser to run the test: /wp-content/plugins/si-contact-form/captcha-secureimage/test/index.php Does this contact form use Akismet spam protection? Yes, it checks the form input with Akismet, but only if Akismet plugin is also installed and activated. (Akismet is not required, it will just skip the check) Can it send mail using SMTP? Yes, when you also have this plugin installed: WP Mail SMTP My host says a fifth parameter -f should be added to the mail function. This will set the name of the from email address. Your web host is being unusually restrictive. I am using the built in mail function of wordpress, it cannot use the 5th parameter. I will not be able to add that. I bet you do not even get any mail from wordpress itself? ... and most PHP programs you might install would not send any mail. Here is another option for you: Get a free gmail account. Install the plugin called WP Mail SMTP, then set it to use gmail SMTP for mail. Set these settings for "WP Mail SMTP": Mailer: SMTP, SMTP Host: smtp.gmail.com, SMTP Port: 465, Encryption: SSL, Authentication: Yes, Username: your full gmail address, Password: your mail password. Now use gmail to check for your contact form mail, or set gmail to forward the mail to your other address. Do I have to also install the plugin "SI CAPTCHA Anti-Spam" for the CAPTCHA to work? No, this plugin includes the CAPTCHA feature code for this contact form. The "SI CAPTCHA Anti-Spam" plugin is a separate plugin for comment and registration forms spam protection. I use the plugin "SI CAPTCHA Anti-Spam" for my comment and registration forms, is it still needed? Yes, if you want protection for the comment and registration forms, the plugin "SI CAPTCHA Anti-Spam" should be installed. The two plugins have the same CAPTCHA library but are totally separate. Does this work on WPMU or BuddyPress? Yes, If you use WPMU or BuddyPress you can have multiple blogs with individual contact forms on each one. On WPMU you would install it in plugins, not mu-plugins. Then each blog owner can have his own settings. Troubleshooting if the CAPTCHA image itself is not being shown: By default, the admin will not see the CAPTCHA. If you click "log out", go look and it will be there. If the image is broken and you have the CAPTCHA entry box: This can happen if a server has too low a default permission level on new folders. Check that the permission on all the captcha-secureimage folders are set to permission: 755 all these folders need to be 755: - si-contact-form - languages - captcha-secureimage - audio - gdfonts - images - test Here is a tutorial about file permissions This script can be used to test if your PHP installation will support the CAPTCHA: Open this URL in your web browser to run the test: /wp-content/plugins/si-contact-form/captcha-secureimage/test/index.php This link can be found on the Contact Form Options page. Is this plugin available in other languages? Yes. To use a translated version, you need to obtain or make the language file for it. At this point it would be useful to read Installing WordPress in Your Language from the Codex. You will need an .mo file for this plugin that corresponds with the "WPLANG" setting in your wp-config.php file. Translations are listed below -- if a translation for your language is available, all you need to do is place it in the /wp-content/plugins/si-contact-form/languages directory of your WordPress installation. If one is not available, and you also speak good English, please consider doing a translation yourself (see the next question). The following translations are included in the download zip file: Bulgarian (bg_BG) - Translated by [Dimitar Atanasov] Chinese (zh_CN) - Translated by Awu Danish (da_DK) - Translated by Thomas J. Langer French (fr_FR) - Translated by Pierre Sudarovich German (de_DE) - Translated by Sebastian Kreideweiss Greek (el) - Translated by Ioannis Italian (it_IT) - Translated by Gianni Diurno Portuguese Brazil (pt_BR) - Translated by [Rui Alao] Russian (ru_RU) - Translated by Bezraznizi Traditional Chinese, Taiwan (zh_TW) - Translated by [Cjh] Turkish (tr_TR) - Translated by Tolga Ukrainian (uk_UA) - Translated by Wordpress.Ua More are needed... Please help translate. Can I provide a translation? Of course! It will be very gratefully received. Use PoEdit, it makes translation easy. Please read Translating WordPress first for background information on translating. Then obtain the latest .pot file and translate it. * There are some strings with a space in front or end -- please make sure you remember the space! * When you have a translation ready, please send the .po and .mo files to wp-translation at 642weather dot com. * If you have any questions, feel free to email me also. Thanks! Is it possible to merge the translation files I sent to you with the ones of the newest version? If you use PoEdit to translate, it is easy to translate for a new version. You can open your current .po file, then select from the PoEdit menu: "Catalog" > "Update from POT file". Now all you have to change are the new language strings. This contact form sends E-mail with UTF-8 character encoding for US and International character support. English-language users will experience little to no impact. Any non-English questions or messages submitted will have unicode character encoding so that when you receive the e-mail, the language will still be viewable. If you receive an email with international characters and the characters look garbled with symbols and strange characters, your e-mail program may need to be set as follows: How to set incoming messages character encoding to Unicode(UTF-8) in various mail clients: Evolution: View > Character Encoding > Unicode Outlook Express 6, Windows Mail: Please check "Tools->Options->Read->International Settings". Un-check "Use default encoding format for all incoming messages" Now select "View->Encoding", select "Unicode(UTF-8)" Mozilla Thunderbird: Click on Inbox. Select "View->Character Encoding", select "Unicode(UTF-8)" Gmail: No setting necessary, it just works.

We don't ask for any personal information to use the service. - Only 1 button - We only add 1 small FastForward button, not a toolbar. FastForward figures out what is popular from our community who choose to contribute. We don't try to collect any personal information about our users.
