Contact Form Block

Descriere

Simple, yet pretty and perfect for most of us. You will love this contact form! Through its Gutenberg block (or shortcode), you can add it anywhere and make it yours in a few clicks. Lightweight, clean UI, no need to set up anything special or download more plugins. It doesn’t use any JS or CSS files (except if you active ReCAPTCHA). You can find more information on this plugin on Meow Apps: Contact Form Block.

Why another Contact Form? I have tried many plugins in the past, and I found them all too heavy and complicated. Most of the time, I just wanted a simple contact form. Why would I need to create a new form in a list of forms, manually decide the fields and make sure everything is well set-up? And why do I need more plugins in order to add ReCAPTCHA support, or even pay for such a basic option?

Usage

The Contact Form Block has been designed to be used within the Gutenberg Editor. You can modify the labels of the main fields (Name, E-mail, and Message) and the overall design. A header can also be added, with an image and some text. The text and color of the submit button can also be customized. There are 3 basic themes available: None, Default and Meow Apps. None will add no styles to your contact form, Default will make it work on any theme, and Meow Apps will look a bit more solid.

The shortcode [contact-form-block] can also be used, just as it is! That shortcode can be used anywhere, in your widgets for example. Have a look at the tutorial to learn how to use it.

For the ReCAPTCHA and the other various settings, please visit the Contact Form page under the Meow Apps menu in your WordPress Admin.

Notes

  • The default behavior of this contact form is to send an e-mail to the admin of the WordPress install. That can be easily modified through the available WordPress filters.
  • ReCAPTCHA v3 is currently used as an Anti-Spam. If you are interested, you can also develope your own ‘human check’. Have a look at this.

Best Practices

This contact form follows the best practices, in order to guarantee a maximum conversion rate.

  • Vertical layout (multi-columns result in a loss)
  • Labels above the fields (instead of placeholders or tricks)
  • Explicit and colorful submit button (labelled ‘Send’ instead of ‘Submit’, by default)
  • A limited number of fields (after 3 fields, the conversion rate goes down)
  • No captcha (don’t worry about spams, this contact form includes ReCAPTCHA_v3, which is invisible)
  • Use a header (with a small image), that will motivate the user to contact you

Limitations

This Contact Form’s goal is to remain simple and fast. New fields and features can be added through its filters and actions, but I will not make the core more complex and heavy.

There is really little to add to the title of this review other than to congratulate the Developer Mr. Jordy Meow. As mentioned in the title of this review, the Contact Form Block WordPress plugin is really well designed and coded, it also turns out to be very streamlined, lightweight and packed with lots of features and most importantly it works perfectly (mind you, do not confuse the errors that can be caused by an incompatibility with obsolete versions of PHP, because using the updated versions of PHP and supported by this plugin, although I have been using this plugin for a long time, I have not yet encountered any errors in this plugin).Basically, with Contact Form Block, this simple but very powerful WordPress plugin, you can thanks to its block for Gutenberg (or shortcode), add it anywhere and simply use it right away. Also the user interface is very light and clean and there is no need to configure anything special or download other plugins and finally it doesn't use any JS or CSS files unless you decide to enable ReCAPTCHA, that's all. Oh I forgot… it is completely free! To finish I still give my compliments to the Developer Mr. Jordy Meow and I can only recommend you to try it because it is really an Excellent plugin for WordPress and I am very proud to have completely translated it into Italian! Greetings and have a nice day.

Plugin does what it is said it does. Support from the author / his team at the plugin page at wordpress website is not the one I would expect
