No more AM/PM confusion or broken database exports. * **Server-side validation** – min/max dates, disabled days and hour ranges are enforced on the server too, not just in the browser. * **Automatic language** – the picker follows your WordPress site language out of the box. All 50+ flatpickr locales are bundled. * **Visual tag generator** – add a field from the Contact Form 7 editor without writing any code. * **Loads only when needed** – assets are enqueued only on pages that actually render a DayPick field, with `defer` strategy. * **Theme-safe styling** – isolated popup CSS prevents theme conflicts. #### Usage Add a tag to your form, either with the **DayPick** button in the form editor or manually: ``` [daypick* appointment mode:datetime min:today max:+90d hours:09:00-18:00 step:30 disable:weekends firstday:1] ``` Available options: * `mode:date` / `mode:time` / `mode:datetime` – picker type (default: date) * `min:today`, `min:2026-07-01`, `min:+7d` – earliest selectable date * `max:+90d`, `max:2026-09-30` – latest selectable date * `hours:09:00-18:00` – allowed time range * `step:30` – minute increment * `disable:weekends`, `disable:2026-07-15,2026-07-16` – disabled days (can be combined) * `firstday:1` – first day of week (0 = Sunday, 1 = Monday; default: site setting) * `format:d.m.Y` – display format (PHP date tokens; use `_` for a space, e.g. ` format:d.m.Y_H:i`) * `"Select a date" placeholder` – show the quoted text as the field placeholder; without `placeholder` the same text becomes a pre-filled default value The submitted value is always ISO: `Y-m-d`, `H:i` or `Y-m-d H:i` depending on the mode. Use the regular mail-tag (e.g. `[appointment]`) in your email template. #### Credits DayPick bundles the [flatpickr](https://flatpickr.js.org/) library (v4.6.13), released under the MIT license, which is GPL-compatible. The non-minified source code is available in the [flatpickr GitHub repository](https://github.com/flatpickr/flatpickr/tree/v4.6.13). ## Screenshots [⌊Date picker on the front end.⌉⌊Date picker on the front end.⌉[ Date picker on the front end.

Install and activate Contact Form 7. 2. Go to Plugins Add New, search for “DayPick”, install and activate. 3. Edit a form and use the **date/time picker (DayPick)** button, or add a `[daypick your-field]` tag manually. ## FAQ ### Do I need a license key or a pro version? No. Everything – all features, all translations – is free. ### Which languages are supported? All 50+ locales bundled with flatpickr (Turkish, German, French, Spanish, Arabic, Japanese and many more). The picker automatically follows your site language. You can override it with the `daypick_locale` filter. ### What value is sent in the email? By default the ISO value (e.g. `2026-07-15 14:30`). If you set a display format on the tag (e.g. `format:d.m.Y_H:i`), the email uses that same format (e.g. `15.07.2026 14:30`), localized to your site language and timezone. Stored/exported data (database, CFDB7) always stays ISO for consistency. ### Can visitors bypass the date restrictions? No. min/max, disabled days, hour range and minute step are validated on the server during submission, not only in the browser. ### Does it work on mobile? Yes. DayPick renders the same picker on mobile devices so that your rules (disabled days, hour ranges) keep working everywhere. ### Can I add placeholder text? Yes. In the tag generator, fill in **Default value** and tick _Use this text as the placeholder of the field_, or add it manually: `[daypick your-field "Select a date" placeholder]`. The placeholder is shown on the visible field; the submitted value stays ISO. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “DayPick: Date Fields for Contact Form 7” is open source software.
