Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Contact Coldform

The shortcode may be used on any Post or Page. For example, if you log in to the Admin Area and view a Page named "Contact", you can add the shortcode anywhere in the Page content to display the form. To use the template tag, add it to the desired location in your theme template. For example, if you have a custom page template named page-contact.php, you could add the template tag directly after <?php the_content(); ?> to display the form.

Visit the "Appearance and Styles" panel in the plugin settings. There you may configure appearance and add custom CSS for the form.

Yes, you can add multiple instances of the shortcode and/or template tag.

That setting enables you to customize the address used as the "From" header for email messages. By default, Coldform uses the same address that is used by WordPress to send alert messages. So if WP is installed on yourdomain.com, the default value is something like "wordpress@yourdomain.com". That address is proven to work great for most setups. But the option is there if you know what you are doing and want to change it to something else. If in doubt for the "From Address" setting, just use the default value, "wordpress@yourdomain.com" (replace "yourdomain.com" with your actual domain name). Questions & Comments I try to keep an eye on the WordPress forums, but it's best to contact me directly with questions or concerns. Thanks.
