VS Contact Form

If translations are not available in the selected language, English will be used.
Does plugin support multilingual websites?
Yes, but do not set custom labels for Name, Email, Subject, etc with the label attributes or via the settings page. Use a multilingual plugin instead.

If each language has its own form, than each form can have its own label attributes.
What is the default email address?
By default form submissions will be send to the email address set in Settings > General.

You can change this via the settings page or by using an attribute.
Why is the "from" email address not from sender?
I have used a default "From" email header to avoid form submissions being marked as spam.

Best practice is using a "From" email header (an email address) that ends with your website domain.

The default "From" email header starts with "wordpress" and ends with your website domain.

You can change this by using an attribute.

Your reply to sender will use another email header, called "Reply-To", which is the email address that sender has filled in.
Why does the form look different between themes?
The plugin uses minimal styling and therefore also depends on the styling of your theme.
Can I display multiple forms on the same page?
Do not add multiple blocks, shortcodes or widgets to the same page. This might cause a conflict.

But you can display a form by using the block or the shortcode and a form by using the widget.
Can I add extra fields to form?
If you want extra fields you should use another contact form plugin, such as WPForms.
Why does form submission fail?
An error message is displayed if plugin was unable to send form. Or nothing seems to happen after pressing submit.

Install an SMTP plugin and try again
If you are using an SMTP plugin, check the settings page of that plugin for mistakes
With most SMTP plugins you can test the mail function by sending a test mail
Or test the mail function with the Health Check & Troubleshooting plugin
Disable caching and try again
Check the built-in anti-spam features, by activating debugging via the settings page

Sometimes form submission fails because your hosting provider has disabled the PHP mail() function. Sending via SMTP will solve this.

For more info about SMTP check the "SMTP" section above.

Does this plugin have anti-spam features?
Of course, the default WordPress validating, sanitizing and escaping functions are included.

Also included are a sum field, hidden honeypot fields and a hidden time trap.

And you can limit the number of links and email addresses that is allowed in Message field.
How does the "ignore form submissions" feature work?
If you receive a lot of spam you can choose to ignore form submissions with banned words, links or email addresses.

Sender can still fill out the form and include banned words, links or email addresses. But nothing happens with this form submission. So sender gets the impression form is successfully send and moves on.

You can activate this feature via the settings page.
Does this plugin meet the conditions of the GDPR?
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a regulation in EU law on data protection and privacy for all individuals within the European Union.

I did my best to meet the conditions of the GDPR:

Form contains a privacy consent checkbox
You can disable collection of IP address
Form submissions are safely stored in database, similar to how the default posts and pages are stored
You can easily delete form submissions
You can disable form submissions being stored in database

Why is there no semantic versioning?
The version number won't give you info about the type of update (major, minor, patch). You should check the changelog to see whether or not the update is a major or minor one.
