Not simple enough

By whiteelephantagency on November 26, 2025

Out of the box form with very little support and features. I've always had issues with deliverability. I think they really shuold upgrade the interface and make it easier to actually create the forms.

Thank you

Contact Form 7 remains one of my go-to form plugins because it’s simple, reliable, and flexible. Even though it's been around for years, it still works smoothly across themes and handles basic to moderately complex forms with ease. I appreciate its stability and commitment to free and open source.

Quiz (form field) only loads sometimes.

By Brad (braads) on October 22, 2025

I've added a quiz to the contact form to prevent spam.

Sometimes the quiz (form field) loads, sometimes (well, most of the time) it doesn't. Very frustrating.

It's probably time for a new plugin. Contact Form 7 is now outdated.

Great plugin

Gets the job done, nothing more

By Wayne Baker (waynebaker) on August 26, 2025

It’s fine for basic use, but don’t expect advanced features. The plugin feels a bit plain, though it remains dependable for simple contact needs.

Simple, Reliable, and Perfect for Custom Forms

By Rahul Tank (rahultank) on August 12, 2025

Contact Form 7 is simple yet powerful. It’s lightweight, works well with most themes, and gives full control over form fields through short codes. Great for basic contact forms without heavy overhead. However, styling requires a bit of custom CSS, and advanced features may need extra plugins. Overall, a reliable choice for anyone who wants a free, no-frills form solution.

Absolutely love the contact form 7

By hurtadodoo on August 10, 2025

Absolutely love the contact form plugin works perfectly out of the box, easy to customize, and looks good on all devices. The spam protection is also surprisingly effective.
