Minimal Contact Form

Minimal Contact Form is a simple, clean and secure contact form that meets the requirements of the GDPR.

You can also download the plugin at the WordPress Repository!

---

Almost everyone needs a contact form for their website. But you quickly realize that it is not that easy to find a suitable plugin.

Either you end up with huge form builders that are simply too bulky for a single contact form, or you find a small plugin that doesn't meet your requirements.

Features

Minimal Contact Form is designed to address precisely this problem:

• It is a simple contact form without a lot of extras.
• All form fields are validated and sanitized.
• You can choose to whom the emails are sent.
• The form data is sent via AJAX.
• Sending with WP Mail (SMTP) or PHP Mail is selectable.
• No annoying captchas are used for spam detection, but the honeypot method.
• Predefined GDPR-compliant messages with or without checkbox will be displayed.
• Those messages are linked directly to the privacy policy.
• In case of consent, the recipient will be informed directly in the e-mail.
• The plugin is completely translatable (English & German already available).

All this with a total of four settings!

Requirements

• Due to the new privacy options, this plugin requires WordPress 4.9.6 or up.
• You must setup a privacy policy page in WordPress.

Translations

If you want to translate this plugin into another language, you are welcome! English and German (informal) are already there. I used the plugin Loco Translate, but I suppose that other ways should be compatible as well.
