VS Contact Form Wordpress Plugin - Rating, Reviews, Demo & Download
Plugin Description
About
With this lightweight plugin you can create a contact form.
To display your form you can use a block, a shortcode or a widget.
Form contains fields for Name, Email, Subject and Message. Also included are a sum field (to avoid abuse) and a privacy consent checkbox.
You can customize your form via the settings page or with attributes.
It’s also possible to display form submissions in your dashboard.
How to use
After installation add the VS Contact Form block or the shortcode [contact]
to a page to display your form.
Or go to Appearance > Widgets and use the VS Contact Form widget.
You can customize your form via the settings page or with attributes.
Settings page

This can be useful when having multiple contact forms on your website.

Display form submissions in dashboard
Via the settings page you can activate form submissions being displayed in your dashboard.
After activation go to menu item “Submissions”. Your form submissions will be listed here.
SMTP
SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) is an internet standard for sending emails.
By default, WordPress uses the PHP mail()
function for sending emails. But when using SMTP there’s less chance your form submissions are being marked as spam.
You must install an additional plugin for this, such as WP mail SMTP.
Cache
If you’re using a caching plugin and want to avoid conflicts with the contact form, I recommend excluding your contact page from caching. This can be done via the settings page of most caching plugins.
