Requires at least: 2.7
Tested up to: 3.0
Stable tag: 0.6.1
It took me quite some time to check a few existing contact forms and I didn't like any of them. No, I don't want you to load jquery on every page of my blog. I want it localized, pretty please. Oh, and I want this JavaScript onfocus/onblur effect I wrote about. And why do I have to do any configuration at all anyway?
Since 0.6.0 the plugin has a built-in spam protection that won't bother your human visitors but will most likely catch all spambots.
The easiest way to use this plugin is to use the shortcode [zcmail]. There's also a widget that you can drag into one of your sidebars.
You can call the function zcmail_shortcode() from your theme to get the same output as from the shortcode. Example:
if ( function_exists( 'zcmail_shortcode' ) ) {
echo zcmail_shortcode()
}
Visit the plugin's home page to leave comments, ask questions, etc.
Visitor Movies for WordPress: Did you ever want to know what your visitors are really doing on your site? Watch them!
Better tag cloud: I was pretty unhappy with the default WordPress tag cloud widget. This one is more powerful and offers a list HTML markup that is consistent with most other widgets.
Theme switch: I like to tweak my main theme that I use on a variety of blogs. If you have ever done this you know how annoying it can be to break things for visitors of your blog. This plugin allows you to use a different theme than the one used for your visitors when you are logged in.
Zero Conf Mail: Simple mail contact form, the way I like it. No ajax, no bloat. No configuration necessary, but possible.
Custom avatars for comments: Add a personal touch: Your visitors will be able to choose from the avatars you upload to your website for each and every comment they make.
Move WordPress comments: This plugin adds a small form to every comment on your blog. The form is only added for admins and allows you to move comments to a different post/page and to fix comment threading.
Delete Pending Comments: This is a plugin that lets you delete all pending comments at once. Useful for spam victims.
Snow and more: This one lets you see snowflakes, leaves, raindrops, balloons or custom images fall down or float upwards on your blog.
Fireworks: The name says it all, see fireworks on your blog!
Rhyming widget: I wrote a little online rhyming dictionary. This is a widget to search it directly from one of your sidebars.
Unzip, upload to your plugin directory, enable the plugin. Include it on a page or post by adding the shortcode [zcmail] somewhere on it.
Q: What about spam?
A: Webspammers don't gain anything by spamming you through the contact form, as their links don't appear on your site. A spammer is wasting his resources by sending spammy backlinks through the form and should stop soon. Normal spam should be handled by your email provider.
Update: Since 0.6.0 there is a simple but hopefully very effective trap for automated spambots.
Q: Anybody can send me a gazillion mails through your plugin!?
A: That's true. That's why the plugin comes with a flood protection. Sender IPs are logged and an attacker would need a considerable amount of resources to bypass that protection. You can make the flood protection rules more severe if you want to.
Q: Who receives the mails?
A: The admin who activated the plugin is a registered user of your blog and has an email address associated with his account. That's where the plugin sends the mails to. This can be changed on the plugin options page.
