    Hey how are you?

    so claude code found an error in the editor devconsole:

    Lives in wp-admin editor console only (never front end, never visitors). Exact message when opening page 434 editor:

    Block with API version 2 or lower is deprecated since version 6.9... The block "contact-form-block/contact-form-block" is registered with API version 1.

    Source = Contact Form Block plugin itself (Meow Apps) — registered with old block API v1; WordPress 6.9 core warns it may break in future iframe editors. Third-party plugin code, not ours, not patchable per rules. Appears on homepage editor too. Zero user-facing effect. Only real fix = plugin author updates apiVersion to 3.

    Another thing i wanna ask, i usually build my VM on google cloud and use WP-Mail and google auth to fix the email issues, (google not support SMTP ports).

    It will work with you plugin? btw if i want to set up a button for approve policy (like contact form 7) its possible to do it with your plugin? i didn’t see so many options with your plugin to set it up.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hi @123nadav,

    Doing well, thanks! I can see you’re exploring many plugins, including this one 🙂 Just so you know, this one is intentionally very simple. Most contact forms just need to get the job done, so there are no special features, just something clean and minimal (and you can always tweak it with CSS).

    As for the console logs, don’t worry, they’re only notices, so they don’t really matter. I’ll push a new version to clean those up soon though, I don’t like them either 😅

    For the SMTP provider question, I’d point you to Meow Mailer: https://wordpress.org/plugins/meow-mailer/. I personally use Mailgun a lot and love it. That said, contact forms shouldn’t handle email sending directly. That should be managed centrally by a dedicated plugin like Meow Mailer, so everything goes through WordPress consistently.

    Hope that helps!
    Jordy.

    The problem is need AUTH app for google, i didnt see in your meow mailer option to do it with Google Cloud… i know mailgun but hard to set up with google cloud. WP-SMTP has a direct integration to GCP.

    Meow Mailer does support Google! 😊 It’s been there since the first release. In Settings, pick Gmail / Google Workspace from the provider list and you’ll get a “Connect with Google” button.

    It uses OAuth 2.0 against the Gmail API (users.messages.send), so no password is ever stored, just a refresh token the plugin renews on its own. Setup is the same as any other Google OAuth integration: create an OAuth Client (Web application) in the Google Cloud Console, enable the Gmail API, add the redirect URI shown in the settings, paste your Client ID and Secret, and hit Connect. No billing involved, the Cloud project is just there so Google can issue the OAuth credentials.

    Microsoft 365 / Outlook works the same way if you ever need it.

    If the Cloud Console feels like too much, you can also use Generic SMTP with smtp.gmail.com, port 587, TLS, and a Google app password. Quicker to set up, though it requires 2-Step Verification on the account.

    Either way, keep Gmail’s sending limits in mind: around 500 emails/day on a personal account, 2,000 on Workspace. Fine for contact forms, not for newsletters. That’s why I usually point people toward Mailgun.
