    Great theme BTW,

    After getting some feedback on my website i have a query about the code for the contact form.

    When entering contact details into the relevant fields and clicking ‘post’, it is not clear the message has been sent and so users tend to repeatedly click on ‘post’. This results in multiple emails in my mailbox!

    Is it possible to recommend some additional code so that perhaps a message saying ‘thank you for the post’ or a similar confirmation lets the user know their message is sent?

    Any support greatly appreciated!

    As seen here:

    Hi sennentimcke

    Was this bundled with the theme?

    There are many excellent contact form plugins which do have redirects that can send the user to another page when they press submit (such as a thank you page).

    If your contact form doesn’t have a way to do this, you might want to take a look at another contact form plugin.

    Thank you

    Pete

    Hi, sennentimcke. To notify the users that their messages are sent, you can add this code to the section content in the Contact form

    <p class="noticefailed"></p>

    before the

    <input id="submit" type="button" name="submit" value="Post" placeholder="">

    Hi, margreethoutman. Different servers may take different time to send the email. The emails arrives slow may due to the server.

    Thank you for everyone’s advice here,

    Pete – yes this contact form was bundled with the theme.

    MageeWP – thank you for this additional code; the ‘sending’ graphic followed by a sent notification is just what i was looking for!

    Thanks again,

    Sennen

    If you can’t receive email from the contact form, please try another email address.

    Hey guys,

    I’ve added this to my contact form <p class="noticefailed"></p>
    It works all fine, but I want this message in german.

    Where can I change the sentence ‘Your message has been successfully sent!’ to german?
