Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Contact Form Zero
I'm using the built-in wp_mail function. Most hosting environments (even shared hosts like Bluehost and GoDaddy) can handle email, but not very well out-of-the-box and require being optimized. It actually takes quite a bit of work to make sure your emails are deliverable. Some recommendations: Check that your SPF, DKIM, and other email records are set up correctly (mail-tester.com is a great all-around tool for checking and fixing common email deliverability issues) Even on shared hosts, you should be able to add a dedicated IP to your account for very cheap (which allows you to get away from shared IPs that have a bad reputation because your neighbors are spamming) If all else fails, you can abandon using your own server for mail altogether, and host offsite with a free or paid third-party service like Gmail or Mailgun (check out the WP Mail SMTP plugin to go that route)
The modern versions of Google reCAPTCHA, hCaptcha, and Cloudflare Turnstile are relatively invisible. Be sure to send yourself a test message through your form.
The security is rock-solid. By default, Contact Form Zero is completely private and GDPR-compliant. However, if you choose to enable Google reCAPTCHA, hCaptcha, Cloudflare Turnstile, or Akismet for your contact form, you may want to check their privacy policies. While Contact Form Zero can detect when Akismet is installed on your site, I've still made it explicitly opt-in only. If Akismet is enabled, every time someone uses the contact form, their IP will be sent to a third-party server.
