Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Contact Form Clean and Simple

Check in your spam or junk mail folder For Gmail check in 'All Mail', the email might have gone straight to archive Try overriding the 'From' email address in the settings screen. Use an email address you own or is from your own domain

You may have a conflict with another plugin. Either deactivate the other contact form plugin, if you don't need it, or use this alternative short code on your webpage - [cscf-contact-form]. This problem often occurs when Jetpack plugin is installed.

To put the contact form on your page, add the text: [cscf-contact-form] The contact form will appear when you view the page.

It is impossible to test this plugin with all themes. Styling incompatibilities can occur. In this case, switch off the default stylesheet on the settings screen so you can add your own styles to your theme's stylesheet.

Yes, I am currently building up translation files for this plugin. If your language is not yet available you are very welcome to translate it.

This makes the form responsive to all types of media. If you want to have a fixed width for the form you can put some styling around the shortcode: [cscf-contact-form]

You have several options: Modern mode: Select "Modern (Card style)" for a beautiful, ready-to-use design that can be customized with CSS variables. Theme Native mode: Change the CSS Framework setting to "Theme Native". This uses minimal CSS classes and lets your theme's native form styles take over. Minimal mode: Change the CSS Framework setting to "Minimal" for complete custom styling control using semantic classes like cscf-field, cscf-input, cscf-button. Custom CSS: Keep Bootstrap mode but disable "Use the plugin default stylesheet" and add your own CSS rules. Developer filters: Use the cscf_css_classes and cscf_css_class filters to customize the CSS classes used by the form.

The Modern style uses CSS variables that you can override in your theme. Add this to your theme's CSS: :root { --cscf-primary: #0066cc; /* Button and focus colors */ --cscf-radius: 0.75rem; /* Border radius */ --cscf-border: #d1d5db; /* Border color */ --cscf-error: #dc2626; /* Error color */ } Full list of variables available in the cscf-modern.css file. Dark mode is automatically supported via prefers-color-scheme or by adding the .dark class to your HTML element.

Currently you may only have one contact form per page. You CAN however put the contact form on more than one page using the same shortcode. Note that making changes to the settings will affect all implementations of the plugin across your site.

Yes it will. HOWEVER, you cannot have more than one reCAPTCHA on a page. This is a constraint created by Google. So for example, if your 'Contact Me' page has comments below it, the reCAPTCHA for the contact form will be displayed correctly but not in the comments form below. The comments form will never validate due to no supplied reCAPTCHA code.
