== Description ==

**Simon’s Simple Contact Form** is a fast, lightweight contact form plugin built for people who want a clean, modern form that “just works” — without the bloat.

It includes **18 built-in themes**, optional **SMTP** for better deliverability, and spam protection via **Google reCAPTCHA** or a simple **internal captcha**. You can switch themes instantly from the admin panel and get a beautiful front-end form in minutes.

**Perfect for:**

== Installation ==

1. Upload the plugin folder to `/wp-content/plugins/` or install via **Plugins → Add New**.
2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** menu in WordPress.
3. Go to **Simon’s Simple Contact Form** in your WordPress admin menu.
4. Choose a theme, configure email/captcha settings, and add the form to a page.

== Usage ==

Add the contact form to any post or page using the shortcode:

`[sscfp_contact_form]`

Backwards compatibility: if you were using the old shortcode, it still works:

`[simple_contact_form]`

After adding the shortcode:
- Pick your preferred theme under the **Themes** tab.
- Configure SMTP (optional) under **Settings**.
- Choose captcha type (Internal captcha or Google reCAPTCHA).

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

== External services ==

This plugin can optionally connect to **Google reCAPTCHA** to help prevent spam submissions.

When Google reCAPTCHA is enabled in the plugin settings:

* The visitor's browser loads Google's reCAPTCHA JavaScript from google.com when the form is displayed.
* On form submission, the plugin sends the reCAPTCHA token (and, if available, the visitor's IP address) to Google's verification endpoint to validate the challenge.

Google reCAPTCHA is provided by Google LLC.

* Terms: https://policies.google.com/terms
* Privacy: https://policies.google.com/privacy

= Does this plugin require SMTP? =
No. SMTP is optional. You can use your default WordPress mail configuration, or enable SMTP for better deliverability.

= Which captcha options are available? =
You can choose:
- **Internal Captcha** (simple “solve the sum” style)
- **Google reCAPTCHA** (v2/v3 compatible)

= How do I change the email sender / reply-to? =
In **Settings**, you can configure:
- **Sender (From)** address (optional)
- **Reply-To override** (optional)
If Reply-To is blank, it will default to the visitor’s email.

= How many themes are included? =
**18 included themes** are built into the plugin. You can also extend with theme pack addons.

= Can I add more themes? =
Yes — via the **Addons** tab (if you use theme pack addons). You can also use the **Theme Editor addon** (if installed) to make your own.

= Will it work on mobile? =
Yes. The form themes are designed to be responsive.

= Where are addon ZIPs installed? =
Addons are extracted into:
`/wp-content/uploads/sscfp-addons/`

= Is this plugin GDPR friendly? =
The plugin does not add tracking. If you enable Google reCAPTCHA, Google may process user data per their policies. If you want to avoid third-party services, use the internal captcha.
