## Description
Contact Form 7 is an excellent WordPress plugin and one of the top choices of free
WordPress plugins for contact forms. Contact Form 7 – Dynamic Text Extension (DTX)
makes it even more awesome by adding dynamic content capabilities. While default
values in Contact Form 7 are static, DTX lets you create pre-populated fields pulled
from other locations. Some examples might include:
* Auto-filling a URL or just getting the domain name or path
* Auto-filling a post ID, title, or slug
* Auto-filling a title, URL, or slug for the current page
* Pre-populating a product number
* Referencing other content on the site
* Populating with post or page info
* Populating with the current user’s info
* Populating with custom and meta fields
* Generating unique identifiers for support tickets
* Getting a list of post categories or other custom taxonomies
* Getting a value from a cookie
* Getting custom theme modifications
* Any value using custom shortcodes
The possibilities are endless!
[View Demo](https://wordpress.org/plugins/contact-form-7-dynamic-text-extension/?preview=1)
For over 10 years, DTX only handled `` and `` form fields, but version 4 finally introduces more:
* email
* URL
* tel (for phone numbers)
* number
* range (slider)
* textarea (multiline text)
* drop-down menu (select field)
* checkboxes
* radio buttons
* date
* submit (yes, a submit button where you can have dynamic text!)
### WHAT DOES IT DO?
DTX provides flexibility to WordPress users in creating dynamic forms in Contact
Form 7. DTX comes with several built-in shortcodes that will allow the contact form
to be populated from HTTPS GET variable or any info from the `get_bloginfo()` function,
among others. See below for included shortcodes.
Don’t see the shortcode you need on the list? You can write a [custom one](https://aurisecreative.com/docs/contact-form-7-dynamic-text-extension/shortcodes/custom-shortcodes/?utm_source=wordpress.org&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=contact-form-7-dynamic-text-extension&utm_content=readme)!
Any shortcode that returns a string or numeric value can be used here. The included
shortcodes just cover the most common scenarios, but DTX provides the flexibility
for you to grab any value you have access to programmatically.
#### Dynamic Value
The bread and butter of this plugin, set a dynamic value! This field can take any
shortcode, with two important provisions:
1. The shortcode should NOT include the normal square brackets (`[` and `]`). So,
instead of `[CF7_GET key='value']` you would use `CF7_GET key='value'`.
2. Any parameters in the shortcode must use single quotes. That is: `CF7_GET key='
value'` and not `CF7_GET key="value"`
#### Dynamic Placeholder
Set a dynamic placeholder with this attribute! This feature accepts static text
or a shortcode. If using a shortcode, the same syntax applies from the dynamic value
field. However, this field also has a few more needs:
1. The text/shortcode must first have apostrophes converted to it’s HTML entity code,`&#
39;`
2. After that, it must be URL encoded so that spaces become `%20` and other non-alphanumeric
characters are converted.
If you’re using Contact Form 7’s tag generator to create the form tag, those extra
needs are already taken care of. Dynamic placeholders are not available for dynamic
hidden form tags.
Learn more and see examples from [the DTX Knowledge base](https://aurisecreative.com/docs/contact-form-7-dynamic-text-extension/shortcodes/dtx-attribute-placeholder/?utm_source=wordpress.org&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=contact-form-7-dynamic-text-extension&utm_content=readme).
#### Compatible with Caching Plugins
DTX is cache friendly! You can set a field to be calculated after the page loads
by setting the `dtx_pageload` attribute to any dynamic form tag.
Many websites use caching plugins to optimize for performance. If your website caches
the HTML of the form, then any dynamic form fields you have get their first calculated
value cached alongside it. This becomes an issue if you’re using DTX to pull values
from a cookie or the current URL’s query string.
This is best for dynamic form fields that:
* gets the current URL
* gets a value from the URL query
* gets a value from a cookie
* gets the current user’s info
* generates a unique identifier (GUID)
For dynamic fields that are page-specific, it’s perfectly safe to cache those values.
For example, dynamic form fields that:
* getting the page or post’s ID, title, or slug
* getting post meta for the current page
* getting the post’s assigned categories, tags, or other custom taxonomy
* getting site info
* getting theme modification values
_Note: Enabling a dynamic field to be calculated after the page loads will add frontend
JavaScript. Depending on the shortcode used as the dynamic value, an AJAX call to
the server may be sent to be processed. The script is minified and loaded in the
footer and is deferred, minimizing impact on site performance and the AJAX calls
are called asynchronously to avoid being a render-blocking resource and minimizing
main-thread work. The script itself can be safely cached too._

#### Read Only Form Fields
Check this box if you do not want to let users edit this field. It will add the `
readonly` attribute to the input form field. This feature is not available for dynamic
hidden form tags.
#### Obfuscate Values for Enhanced Privacy
If you’re pre-filling a form field with an email address, bots can scrape that value
from the page and use it for spam. You can add an additional layer of protecting
by obfuscating the value, which turns each character into it’s ASCII code. To the
human eye, it looks like the character it’s supposed to be because browsers will
render the ASCII code, but for bots, it won’t look like an email address!
### HOW TO USE IT
After installing and activating the plugin, you will have 2 new tag types to select
from when creating or editing a Contact Form 7 form: the dynamic text field and
dynamic hidden field. Most of the options in their tag generators will be familiar
to Contact Form 7 users but there have been some upgrades.
#### How to Obfuscate Values
All of the shortcodes included with the DTX plugin allow the `obfuscate` attribute
that you can set to any truthy value to provide an additional layer of security
for sensitive data.
The Contact Form 7 tag with obfuscation turned on would look like this: `[dynamictext
user_email "CF7_get_current_user key='user_email' obfuscate='on'"]`
#### How to Enable Cache-Friendly Mode
All of the dynamic form tags can be enabled for processing on the frontend of the
website, or the client-side, by adding the `dtx_pageload` attribute to the Contact
Form 7 form tag.
In the form editor of Contact Form 7, your form tag would look like: `[dynamictext
current_url dtx_pageload "CF7_URL"]`
If using the tag generator, it’s as simple as checking a box!
### INCLUDED SHORTCODES
The plugin includes several shortcodes for use with the Dynamic Text Extension right
out of the box. You can write your own as well—any self-closing shortcode will work,
even with attributes!
#### Current URL or Part
Retrieve the current URL: `CF7_URL`
In the form editor of Contact Form 7, your form tag would look like: `[dynamictext
dynamicname "CF7_URL"]`
Optional parameter: `part`, which will return a parsed part of the URL. Valid values
are `host`, `query`, and `path`
Host: Just the domain name and tld
[dynamictext host “CF7_URL part=’host’”]
Query: The query string after the ?, if one exists
[dynamictext query “CF7_URL
part=’query’”]
Path: The URL path, for example, /contact, if one exists
[dynamictext path “CF7_URL
part=’path’”]
Learn more and see examples from [the DTX Knowledge base](https://aurisecreative.com/docs/contact-form-7-dynamic-text-extension/shortcodes/dtx-shortcode-current-url/?utm_source=wordpress.org&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=contact-form-7-dynamic-text-extension&utm_content=readme).
#### Referrer URL
Get the referral URL, if it exists. Note that this is not necessarily reliable as
not all browsers send this data.
CF7 Tag: `[dynamictext dynamicname "CF7_referrer"]`
Learn more and see examples from [the DTX Knowledge base](https://aurisecreative.com/docs/contact-form-7-dynamic-text-extension/shortcodes/dtx-shortcode-referrer-url/?utm_source=wordpress.org&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=contact-form-7-dynamic-text-extension&utm_content=readme).
#### Current Page Variables
Retrieve information about the current page that the contact form is displayed on.
Works great for use in templated areas like the site header, footer, widget, or
sidebar! The shortcode works as follows:
Built-in shortcode: `CF7_get_current_var`
Required attribute: `key`
Possible values for `key` include:
* `id`
* `title`
* `url` (an alias for `CF7_URL`)
* `slug`
* `featured_image`
* `terms` (an alias for `CF7_get_taxonomy`)
For pages that use a `WP_POST` object, this acts as an alias for `CF7_get_post_var`
so those attributes work here as well.
For author pages, this acts as an alias for `CF7_get_current_user` so those attributes
work here as well.
In the form editor of Contact Form 7, your form tag’s value could look like: `CF7_get_current_var
key='title'`
And then the full form tag would be: `[dynamictext dynamicname "CF7_get_current_var
key='title'"]`
Learn more and see examples from [the DTX Knowledge base](https://aurisecreative.com/docs/contact-form-7-dynamic-text-extension/shortcodes/dtx-shortcode-current-variables/?utm_source=wordpress.org&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=contact-form-7-dynamic-text-extension&utm_content=readme).
#### Post/Page Info
Retrieve information about the current post or page (must be for a WP_POST object)
that the contact form is displayed on. The shortcode works as follows:
```
CF7_get_post_var key='title' <-- retrieves the Post's Title
CF7_get_post_var key='slug' <-- retrieves the Post's Slug
```
You can also retrieve any parameter from the global `$post` object. Just set that
as the `key` value, for example `post_date`
The Contact Form 7 Tag would look like: `[dynamictext dynamicname "CF7_get_post_var
key='title'"]`
Need to pull data from a _different_ post/page? Not a problem! Just specify it’s
post ID like this:
Dynamic value: `CF7_get_post_var key='title' post_id='245'`
Contact Form 7 Tag: `[dynamictext dynamicname "CF7_get_post_var key='title' post_id
='245'"]`
Learn more and see examples from [the DTX Knowledge base](https://aurisecreative.com/docs/contact-form-7-dynamic-text-extension/shortcodes/dtx-shortcode-post-page-variables//?utm_source=wordpress.org&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=contact-form-7-dynamic-text-extension&utm_content=readme).
#### Post Meta & Custom Fields
Retrieve custom fields from the current post/page. Just set the custom field as
the key in the shortcode.
Note: You must add any meta keys that you want to allow access to to the allow list
in your admin panel > Contact > Dynamic Text Extension > Meta Key Allow List. [More Information](https://sevenspark.com/docs/contact-form-7-dynamic-text-extension/allow-data-access)
The dynamic value input becomes: `CF7_get_custom_field key='my_custom_field'`
And the tag looks like this: `[dynamictext dynamicname "CF7_get_custom_field key
='my_custom_field'"]`
For the purposes of including an email address, you can obfuscate the custom field
value by setting obfuscate=’on’ in the shortcode like this:
[dynamictext dynamicname“
CF7_get_custom_field key=’my_custom_field’ obfuscate=’on’”]
Learn more and see examples from [the DTX Knowledge base](https://aurisecreative.com/docs/contact-form-7-dynamic-text-extension/shortcodes/dtx-shortcode-post-meta-custom-fields/?utm_source=wordpress.org&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=contact-form-7-dynamic-text-extension&utm_content=readme).
#### Featured Images & Media Attachments
Retrieve the current post’s featured image, the featured image of a different page,
or any attachment from the Media Library with this shortcode!
The base shortcode is simply: `CF7_get_attachment` which returns the absolute URL
of the current page’s featured image.
By setting the `post_id` attribute to a post ID, you can get the featured image
of another page.
By setting the `id` attribute to an attachment ID, you can get the absolute URL
of any image uploaded to your WordPress website.
By setting the `size` attribute to any size registered on your website, you can
get a specific image size.
Want to return the attachment ID instead of the URL? Also not a problem! Just set`
return='id'` in the shortcode.
Most of the optional attributes can be used at the same time. For example, if I
wanted to retrieve the attachment ID of a featured image for a different post, then
the dynamic text form tag would look like this:
[dynamictext input_name “CF7_get_attachment
post_id=’123′ return=’id’”]
If I wanted to get a specific image at a specific size, I can use this:
[dynamictext
input_name “CF7_get_attachment id=’123′ size=’thumbnail’”]
The only two attributes that can’t play together is `id` and `post_id`. If both
are specified, it will get the attachment specified by `id` and completely ignore
the `post_id` attribute. If neither are specified, then it looks to the current
featured image assigned to the global `$post` object.
Learn more and see examples from [the DTX Knowledge base](https://aurisecreative.com/docs/contact-form-7-dynamic-text-extension/shortcodes/dtx-shortcode-media-attachment/?utm_source=wordpress.org&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=contact-form-7-dynamic-text-extension&utm_content=readme).
#### Current User Info & User Meta
Get data about the current logged-in user.
Dynamic value: `CF7_get_current_user key='user_displayname'`
CF7 Tag: `[dynamictext
dynamicname "CF7_get_current_user"]`
Note: You must add any user keys that you want to allow access to to the allow list
in your admin panel > Contact > Dynamic Text Extension > User Data Key Allow List.
[More Information](https://sevenspark.com/docs/contact-form-7-dynamic-text-extension/allow-data-access)
Valid values for `key` include:
* `ID`
* `user_login`
* `display_name`
* `user_email`
* `user_firstname`
* `user_lastname`
* `user_description`
But also custom meta user keys!
For the purposes of including an email address, you can obfuscate the value by setting
obfuscate=’on’ in the shortcode like this:
[dynamictext dynamicname “CF7_get_current_user
key=’user_email’ obfuscate=’on’”]
Learn more and see examples from [the DTX Knowledge base](https://aurisecreative.com/docs/contact-form-7-dynamic-text-extension/shortcodes/dtx-shortcode-current-user-user-meta/?utm_source=wordpress.org&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=contact-form-7-dynamic-text-extension&utm_content=readme).
#### Site/Blog Info
Want to grab some information from your blog like the URL or the site name? Use
the `CF7_bloginfo` shortcode. For example, to get the site’s URL:
Enter the following into the “Dynamic Value” input: `CF7_bloginfo show='url'`
Your Content Form 7 Tag will look something like this: `[dynamictext dynamicname"
CF7_bloginfo show='url'"]`
Your form’s dynamicname text input will then be pre-populated with your site’s URL
Learn more and see examples from [the DTX Knowledge base](https://aurisecreative.com/docs/contact-form-7-dynamic-text-extension/shortcodes/dtx-shortcode-site-blog-information/?utm_source=wordpress.org&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=contact-form-7-dynamic-text-extension&utm_content=readme).
#### Theme Options
Want to retrieve values from your active theme’s Customizer? Now you can with the`
CF7_get_theme_option` shortcode.
Learn more and see examples from [the DTX Knowledge base](https://aurisecreative.com/docs/contact-form-7-dynamic-text-extension/shortcodes/dtx-shortcode-theme-option/?utm_source=wordpress.org&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=contact-form-7-dynamic-text-extension&utm_content=readme).
#### HTTP GET Variables
Want to use a variable from the PHP `$_GET` array? Just use the `CF7_GET` shortcode.
For example, if you want to get the foo parameter from the url
http://mysite.com?
foo=bar
Enter the following into the “Dynamic Value” input: `CF7_GET key='foo'`
Your Content Form 7 Tag will look something like this: `[dynamictext dynamicname"
CF7_GET key='foo'"]`
Your form’s dynamicname text input will then be pre-populated with the value of `
foo`, in this case, `bar`
Learn more and see examples from [the DTX Knowledge base](https://aurisecreative.com/docs/contact-form-7-dynamic-text-extension/shortcodes/dtx-shortcode-php-get-variables/?utm_source=wordpress.org&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=contact-form-7-dynamic-text-extension&utm_content=readme).
#### HTTP POST Variables
Grab variables from the PHP `$_POST` array. The shortcode is much like the GET shortcode:
Dynamic value: `CF7_POST key='foo'`
Your Content Form 7 Tag will look something like this: `[dynamictext dynamicname"
CF7_POST key='foo'"]`
Learn more and see examples from [the DTX Knowledge base](https://aurisecreative.com/docs/contact-form-7-dynamic-text-extension/shortcodes/dtx-shortcode-php-post-variables/?utm_source=wordpress.org&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=contact-form-7-dynamic-text-extension&utm_content=readme).
#### Cookie Values
If your WordPress website uses cookies, you might want to pull the value of a specific
cookie into a form. You can do that with the `CF7_get_cookie` shortcode. It only
needs a `key` attribute.
Dynamic value: `CF7_get_cookie key='foo'`
Your Content Form 7 Tag will look something like this: `[dynamictext dynamicname"
CF7_get_cookie key='foo'"]`
Learn more and see examples from [the DTX Knowledge base](https://aurisecreative.com/docs/contact-form-7-dynamic-text-extension/shortcodes/dtx-shortcode-cookie/?utm_source=wordpress.org&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=contact-form-7-dynamic-text-extension&utm_content=readme).
#### GUID
Generate a globally unique identifier (GUID) in a form field. This is a great utility
shortcode for forms that need unique identifiers for support tickets, receipts,
reference numbers, etc., without having to expose personally identifiable information(
PII). This shortcode takes no parameters: `CF7_guid`
In the form editor of Contact Form 7, your form tag would look like: `[dynamictext
dynamicname "CF7_guid"]`
Learn more and see examples from [the DTX Knowledge base](https://aurisecreative.com/docs/contact-form-7-dynamic-text-extension/shortcodes/dtx-shortcode-guid/?utm_source=wordpress.org&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=contact-form-7-dynamic-text-extension&utm_content=readme).

## Changelog
#### 5.0.6
**Release Date: 06/05/2026**
Special thanks to Shane Hollis (@webkiwinz) for these security fixes!
* Security: Fixed stored XSS in admin scan results page; form titles and shortcode
key names were echoed without HTML escaping. This addresses security vulnerability
CVE-2026-5116 responsibly reported by Satyarth Prakash to Wordfence.
* Security: Fixed CSRF vulnerability on notice dismissal; `dismiss-access-keys-
notice` action now requires a valid nonce.
* Security: Fixed unsanitised `$_GET['offset']` parameter; now it’s always cast
to a non-negative integer before use.
* Security: Fixed potential regex injection in JavaScript `get_cookie()`; cookie
key is now escaped before use in a regex pattern.
* Fix: Fixed switch fall-through logic bug in `wpcf7dtx_get_current_var()`; missing`
break` statements caused user/term/archive context data to be overwritten by
post context data.
_Note from Tessa: the AJAX nonce validation that checks `!== 1` was intentional
to only target the first 12-hour window to be more strict. That AJAX call was intended
to run once on page load, so allowing the validation to persist beyond 12 hours
is unnecessary._
#### 5.0.5
**Release Date: 02/17/2026**
* Fix: Fixed a type-o in nonce verification where it compared the value against
0 instead of 1, [see support thread](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nonce-issue-in-cf7-dte/).
#### 5.0.4
**Release Date: 01/01/2026**
* Security: Addressed security vulnerability CVE-2025-13146 responsibly reported
by NosleeP++ to Wordfence. Thank you NosleeP++! The JavaScript Fetch/AJAX request
now includes nonce verification.
#### 5.0.3
* Fix: Moved settings translations to load as needed instead of immediately hoping
to address the `Function _load_textdomain_just_in_time was called incorrectly`
notice added in WordPress core version 6.7, [see support thread](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-loading-textdomain-since-wp-6-7/).
#### 5.0.2
* Security: Addressed security vulnerability responsibly reported by Rafie Muhammad
to Patchstack.
