Contact Form Clean and Simple

A clean and simple AJAX contact form with Google reCAPTCHA, flexible CSS framework support, spam filtering, and REST API support for headless WordPress implementations.

• Clean: all user inputs are stripped in order to avoid cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities.

• Simple: AJAX enabled validation and submission for immediate response and guidance for your users (can be switched off).

• Flexible Styling: Choose your CSS framework – Bootstrap (default), Theme Native (inherits your theme’s styles), or Minimal (semantic classes for complete custom styling).

• REST API Support: Enable headless WordPress implementations to submit forms via authenticated REST API endpoints.

• Accessible: Built with accessibility in mind – proper ARIA attributes, keyboard navigation, screen reader support, and WCAG AA compliant color contrast.

This is a straightforward contact form for your WordPress site. There is very minimal set-up
required. Simply install, activate, and then place the short code [cscf-contact-form] on your web page.

A standard set of input boxes are provided, these include Email Address, Name, Message and a nice big ‘Send Message’ button.

When your user has completed the form an email will be sent to you containing your user’s message.
To reply simply click the ‘reply’ button on your email client.
The email address used is the one you have set up in WordPress under ‘Settings’ -> ‘General’, so do check this is correct.

To help prevent spam all data is scanned can be scanned with Fullworks Anti Spam Pro.
For this to work you must have the Fullworks Anti Spam Pro Plugin installed and activated.

Fullworks Anti Spam Pro will also log all your messages, categorized as spam or not, automatically.

For added piece of mind this plugin also allows you to add a ‘reCAPTCHA’.
This adds a picture of a couple of words to the bottom of the contact form.
Your user must correctly type the words before the form can be submitted, and in so doing, prove that they are human.

Why Choose This Plugin?

Granted there are many plugins of this type in existence already. Why use this one in-particular?

Here’s why:

• Minimal setup. Simply activate the plugin and place the shortcode [cscf-contact-form] on any post or page.

• Safe. All input entered by your user is stripped back to minimise as far as possible the likelihood of any
  malicious user attempting to inject a script into your website.
  If the Fullworks Anti Spam Pro plugin is activated all form data will be scanned for spam.
  You can turn on reCAPTCHA to avoid your form being abused by bots, however Fullworks Anti Spam Pro will do this without reCAPTCHA.

• Ajax enabled. You have the option to turn on AJAX (client-side) validation and submission which gives your users an immediate response when completing the form without having to wait for the page to refresh.

• The form can integrate seamlessly into your website. Turn off the plugin’s default css style sheet so that your theme’s style sheet can be used instead.

• Flexible CSS styling: Choose from Bootstrap, Modern (with dark mode), Theme Native, or Minimal styling modes to match your site’s design.

• This plugin will only link in its jQuery file where it’s needed, it will not impose itself on every page of your whole site!

• Works with the latest version of WordPress.

• Original plugin written by an experienced PHP programmer, Megan Nicholas, the code is rock solid, safe, and rigorously tested as standard practice.

• Headless WordPress ready. REST API support allows you to submit forms from decoupled frontends, mobile apps, or any external application with proper authentication.

Hopefully this plugin will fulfil all your needs.
