Country Select & Phone Code for CF7<\/strong> is a WordPress plugin developed by Bharanidharan M<\/strong>. It provides a country selector and international dialing code input for Contact Form 7 forms.<\/p>\n\n

This plugin provides interactive vector country flags, telephone dial code prefixing, live search filtering, and two-way synchronization directly within Contact Form 7.<\/p>\n\n

All country flags are stored locally within the plugin as vector SVGs. Zero external CDN or network requests are made, ensuring fast page load times and GDPR compliance.<\/p>\n\n

Features<\/h3>\n\n
    \n
  • Vector SVG Flags<\/strong>: Crisp vector flag icons rendered smoothly across displays without external dependencies.<\/li>\n
  • Two-Way Field Synchronization<\/strong>: Selecting a country in the Country dropdown automatically updates the Phone field flag and dialing prefix. Selecting a country in the Phone input synchronizes the Country field instantly.<\/li>\n
  • Strict Numbers-Only Phone Validation<\/strong>: Enforces digits-only input by blocking alphabets and invalid characters in real-time on keystroke and sanitizing pasted clipboard text.<\/li>\n
  • Automatic Dial Code Merging in Emails<\/strong>: Form submissions automatically prepend the selected country dial prefix (e.g. +91 9876543210<\/code>) to the phone number in your Contact Form 7 email notification.<\/li>\n
  • Dedicated Admin Settings Panel<\/strong>: Configure default countries, preferred countries, country exclusions, and validation settings easily under Contact > Country & Phone Settings<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
  • Independent Default Country Controls<\/strong>: Set independent default countries for the Country dropdown and the Phone input to match your regional traffic needs.<\/li>\n
  • Preferred Countries Prioritization<\/strong>: Pin your most frequent customer countries (e.g. India, USA, UK, Saudi Arabia, Australia) at the top of the dropdown list for instant access.<\/li>\n
  • Instant Live Search<\/strong>: Type-ahead search enables visitors to locate any country quickly by country name, ISO-2 code, or dialing code.<\/li>\n
  • Theme-Agnostic Design<\/strong>: Harmonizes with your existing WordPress theme inputs with standard borders and smooth dropdown transitions.<\/li>\n
  • 100% Local & Privacy Compliant<\/strong>: All flags and assets are bundled locally with zero external CDN dependencies, ensuring fast performance and GDPR compliance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

    Configuration<\/h3>\n\n

    1. Add Fields to Your Form<\/h4>\n\n
      \n
    1. Navigate to Contact > Contact Forms<\/strong> and edit your form.<\/li>\n
    2. Use the dedicated Country Phone<\/strong> or Country Select<\/strong> tag generator buttons in the editor toolbar, or insert tags manually:\n\n
        \n
      • Country dropdown: [country_select* your-country]<\/code><\/li>\n
      • Phone input: [country_tel* your-phone placeholder \"Enter your phone number\"]<\/code><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/li>\n
      • Save your form template.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n

        2. Configure Email Notification<\/h4>\n\n

        In your Contact Form 7 Mail<\/strong> tab, insert the corresponding mail-tags into your email notification template:\n* Custom tag names:\n Country: [your-country]\n Phone: [your-phone]\n* Tag generator auto-generated names:\n Country: [country_select-123]\n Phone: [country_tel-456]\n* Standalone dial code (optional):\n Dial Code: [country_code] or [your-phone_country_code]<\/code><\/p>\n\n

        3. Customize Plugin Settings<\/h4>\n\n

        Open Contact > Country & Phone Settings<\/strong> to customize:\n* Default country for Country selector and Phone input independently.\n* Preferred priority countries pinned at the top of the dropdown.\n* Exclude specific countries.\n* Two-Way Field Synchronization toggle.\n* Numbers-only phone validation toggle.\n* Automatic dial code email merging toggle.<\/p>\n\n\n

          \n
        1. Log into your WordPress admin dashboard.<\/li>\n
        2. Navigate to Plugins > Add New<\/strong> and search for Country Select & Phone Code for CF7<\/strong> (or click Upload Plugin<\/strong> and select the ZIP file).<\/li>\n
        3. Click Install Now<\/strong> and activate the plugin.<\/li>\n
        4. Ensure the companion plugin Contact Form 7<\/strong> is installed and activated.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
          \n

          Does this plugin require Contact Form 7?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

          Yes. This plugin is an extension for Contact Form 7. You must have Contact Form 7 (v5.0 or higher) installed and activated.<\/p><\/dd>\n

          How do I add the country dropdown to my form?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

          Simply add the tag [country_select* your-country]<\/code> inside your form template, or click the \"Country Select\" button above the CF7 form editor to configure and insert the tag automatically.<\/p><\/dd>\n

          How does Two-Way Field Synchronization work?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

          When enabled in admin settings, choosing a country in the Country dropdown will automatically change the country flag and dial code in the Phone input. Conversely, changing the phone flag will automatically synchronize the Country dropdown selection.<\/p><\/dd>\n

          Can I enforce Numbers-Only phone input?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

          Yes. Under Contact > Country & Phone Settings > Phone Field Settings<\/strong>, enable Numbers-Only Restriction<\/strong>. This instantly prevents visitors from typing alphabets or invalid symbols into the phone field and sanitizes pasted phone numbers.<\/p><\/dd>\n

          How do the country and phone number appear in submitted emails?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

          In your Contact Form 7 Mail tab, place Country: [your-country]<\/code> and Phone: [your-phone]<\/code> (or match your exact generated tag names like [country_select-123]<\/code> and [country_tel-456]<\/code>). The email will arrive with the full country name (e.g. India) and the telephone number formatted with the country dialing prefix (e.g. +91 9876543210<\/code>). You can also use [country_code]<\/code> to output just the dialing code separately.<\/p><\/dd>\n

          Can I set different default countries for Country and Phone fields?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

          Yes. You can specify one default country under \"Country Field Settings\" and a completely independent default country under \"Phone Field Settings\".<\/p><\/dd>\n

          How do I pin popular countries to the top of the dropdown?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

          In the Country Field Settings tab, enter your desired 2-letter ISO codes in the \"Preferred Countries\" input (e.g. in, us, gb, sa, au<\/code>). Those countries will appear at the very top of the list for quick selection.<\/p><\/dd>\n

          Are flag icons loaded from an external CDN?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

          No. All 230+ country flags are bundled locally within the plugin as clean vector SVGs. No third-party network requests are made, ensuring fast load times and complete GDPR compliance.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
