Custom Spinner for Contact Form 7

by Peter Raschendorfer

Description

For good reason the Contact Form 7 plugin is the most used contact form plugin for WordPress. The downside is that you see the same boring spinning animation on zillions of websites. The CF7 Custom Spinner plugin allows you to customize this loader animation!

Usage

Customize the spinner animation in ‘CF7 Custom Spinner’ section of your WordPress Dashboard. That’s it!

Customization Options

This plugin allows you to choose from

  • 12 animations
  • 16 colors
  • 3 sizes

(which gives a total of 576 possible combinations)

Requirements

Thanks a lot to Takayuki Miyoshi for the great Contact Form 7 plugin. Thanks a lot to Tobias Ahlin for creating the beautiful CSS only loading spinners.

Works great BUT

By Michael D (michael divine) on August 19, 2023

This works great. It does what I wanted it to do. I was able to customize the color with some custom coding. Works great. However: I don't need a message every other time I login to my admin asking me if I like it and will I write a review and will I check out your other plugins. So rather than 5 stars, you get 3. If that's changed - how many times do I have to click the X to close it and never see it again? - then hey - 5 stars.

Does the job but with an issue

Good plugin that does the job. Thank you.

There's just one issue that made me think it didn't work. After activating the plugin, it didn't initially work for me. You have to go into the settings and actually save which spinner you want first. After doing that it started working. I had to do this with every instance I tested.

Works on some forms but not all

By ppe29 on January 31, 2023

Seems to work on some of my simple CF7 forms but not on some others that are more complicated with conditional logic. If you look at the source code and hover over the code after the submit button, the browser highlights a field where the spinner should be. (I know this b/c this is where it is on the forms that work). This is initially good b/c spinners aren't supposed to show until after you click submit. But for some reason, it doesn't show itself when you click submit even though I know it's there just waiting to show itself.

Doesn't work at all

By mbounds on October 27, 2021

The plugin installed OK and recognised my forms, but it didn't work at all. Not in the test mode offered from the setup page, or on the live CF7 forms. The only thing I could do was toggle between the different spinner options in the test page. I have no idea if I was doing something wrong because there was no documentation as far as I could see. No troubleshooting guide anywhere, and no answers to similar problems from other users in the forums.

No problems at all

It worked immediately without any issues, cool

Very convenient

It's definitely an awesome plugin. Great job, Peter!

Neat idea

Need an option to add custom HEX color though... It's impossible to match provided swatch with the color of my website design (and many of websights I suppose)

Fantastic

Worked perfectly! Thank you!

Awesome So Easy I was Stunned

By hulihulagirl on January 13, 2019

So incredibly simple. I messed around for a couple of hours trying to change the awful contact 7 spinner. This worked like a charm. It was so easy I was stunned. THANK YOU!!!

Works great thank you!

Thanks for this plugin. Will there be an option to add extra spinners?
