Great but not perfect
-
The set up is so simple in comparison to others – other plugins have gone OTT with their form creation tools and features, this is nice and simple. Since all I wanted was a simple contact form, I was glad not to have to go through all the fluff that the other plugins made me go through. I can’t see this being easy to set up for many (if any) of my clients, the backend would confuse them, but for me, it was exactly what I was looking for. No fancy flashy drag and drop, click here, click there, just, nice simple codes. And my clients will never need to go back into the contact form plugin to change anything anyway.
This plugin adds its styles correctly! BONUS POINTS. Which means I was able to use wp_dequeue_style in order to remove the stylesheets it added in order to completely take control of the form styling without having to battle with another stylesheet.
However, the HTML it output seems mad. For starters, why are all the form elements wrapped in a paragraph tag? Secondly, why is there a line break between each input field, anything this achieves can be achieved through styling and keeps more control in the hands of us designers. And a few other things. Would be nice if this was cleaned up a bit.
Would also be great if we could control the html that it outputs.
I have got some concerns about the fact that there are several reports of contact form 7 having a security problem that allowed hackers access to the website, so will be keeping an eye on that, and will definitely put this down to 1 star if I experience any problems with that.
