I have finally found a contact form plugin that actually WORKS! It’s called Contact Form with Captcha by Vinaya — and he has a forum that he actually replies to!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have had the exact same experience; on those rare occasions when the e-mail is actually sent, there is no indication who it is from. I sent an e-mail to the author’s webpage, but received no response.

Does anyone know of a contact form plugin that actually works?

I have the exact same problem — and I did read the readme file. Here are my questions:

1) What is shortcode?
2) Where is it stored?
3) Where is it supposed to go?

OK, I finally discovered where the problem was. There were two screwups on my part. I was using the name that appears on the tab of each page, which is a shortened version of the actual page name. Now I see that the actual page name must be used. Also, I wasn’t paying close enough attention to the case of the page name. I used upper case for the page name, but upper and lower on the tabs. The case has to match the actual page name.

Thanks for your time, alanft!

Here’s an example of a complex statement that I haven’t had any success with:

is_home() || is_page(‘Page One’) || is_page(‘Page Two’)

I also tried

(is_home() || is_page(‘Page One’) || is_page(‘Page Two’))

and

(is_home()) || (is_page(‘Page One’)) || (is_page(‘Page Two’))

In each case, the widget only appeared on the home page. Maybe I am misuing the syntax; clearly, it is not reacting to the || symbols.

With the numbering scheme, if I have three widgets in Sidebar 1 on the homepage, but I only want the first two plus a new one on Page One, would I rank the new widget as 3 or 4 in Sidebar 1? I tried both with no success.

I’ve discovered that the logic can only handle simple cases such as Is_home(); anything more complex doesn’t work for me. I’m trying to have a widget appear only on the home page and two other pages, but it is completely unresponsive to the “or” || operator. I haven’t tried the “and” && operator. It’s also not clear what number to give to a widget when some of the widgets aren’t supposed to appear on every page. Can they be clashing with each other? I’m not sure if these problems are due to the upgrade to 2.8 since I never tried out compound logical statements before today.
