From the developer

Davedub's own description of DD Contact Form, lightly tidied.

Apologies for missing the support requests recently, for some reason wordpress.org was set to NOT send me email notifications. I have now updated this.

DD Contact Form by Dave Wooldridge

  • easy to use, works straight out of the box, just add shortcode
  • easy to set up, no registration
  • integrated captcha options
  • integrated custom css editor
  • built in contact manager system (working, but under development)

Simple to use and highly configurable, DD Contact Form gives your website visitors a clear, easy to fill in contact form designed to make the message sending process as painless as possible. The form is fully responsive, automagically optimising the layout for even the smallest of screens. The form’s look and feel follows the underlying theme as close as possible, but customisations are easy using the built in css editor and appearance settings. The captcha options offer a choice of built in Simple Addition (works with no sign up) or Google reCaptcha (Google reCaptcha id required). Also integrated into the plugin is a basic but functional contacts management system. Other features include: multiple contact form recipient email addresses, additional question options, date fields and more.

General Settings

Set, edit or view email settings. View or change captcha settings in security settings section. Enable user details logging in privacy settings section.

Security

Select captcha type: simple addition (default) or google reCaptcha. To use the Google reCaptcha, you will need to sign up and get private and public keys. Signup is extremely quick and easy. You can sign up [here] (https://www.google.com/recaptcha/admin#whyrecaptcha “google recaptcha signup”)

Privacy
