Settings > PROPER Contact Form … just fill in the field for a reply email and test it out,

Are you getting other emails from the WordPress install? Like reset password, etc? Same address?

Hey there,

Sorry for the trouble here. It’s possible that the mail server you’re using is blocking the emails that your WordPress site is sending. Have you tried a different email address as a test? Are you on the latest version? If you turn on reply emails and test the form, do you get an email that way?

This is a core function of the plugin so I’m sure that it’s sending fine. It’s just a matter of figuring out why you’re not receiving it.

Thanks ATuzzo!

We’re actually working on a release now with a math CAPTCHA built in. We should have that out with in a week or two, just working through the details.

Try changing the “In the last” field to a bigger number. It looks like this plugin is using the post date to determine what posts to show there rather than the last viewed date. I was not seeing posts until I changed it to 1000 and they began to appear.

I’m seeing this issue as well. It looks like WordPress SEO, a very popular plugin, is causing these double view counts.

Hope that helps a bit in figuring out the issue.

Did you check your Spam folder in your email? Not a lot of email providers like emails that come from an unknown IP address (the one used to host your site). Incoming mails from website forms are notoriously tough to get a great deliverability rating for.

Try a few different email addresses on the settings page and see if that helps. Sometimes Hotmail and Gmail are a little more relaxed. Comcast is one of the most restrictive.

Sorry for the trouble, Jason. There might be some CSS in place on your site that’s making this happen. If you can post a link to where you’re seeing this, I’m happy to take a look.

If it helps, the CSS you’re looking for should be:

.proper_contact_form input[type=submit] {color: black}

Bam … that’s an anti-spam measure if you fill out the last field. What version are you on, if not the latest? Also, do you have a page where that form is showing up so I can take a look?

Hi Nisha … this form can be used in a pop-up but you’d need to code the pop-up separately and call this form within. If you’re in a template file, you can output the form like so:

<?php echo do_shortcode( '[proper_contact_form]' ) ?>

Hope that helps!

We can build that in. We’re working on another release to come out in the next few weeks and we’ll add this feature.

That’s a great idea, we’ll add it to the list! Hoping to get a release out with a few new features in the next month or so.

Thanks!

Hi 4CF,

Thanks for the compliment!

1. PROPER Contact is built with a “honeypot” CAPTCHA, invisible to the user. This should handle most of your spam issues. I haven’t seen a regular CAPTCHA perform much better. Are you getting spam through your form?
2. Yes, we’re looking into the easiest way to do that

samolmsteadlaw … thanks so much for the compliment! This plugin came about from coding contact forms for a number of different people in different situations and I figured that information could help others.

Answering in order:

1. There is nothing in place to limit the length of the comment field, at this point. Are you worried about comments being too long or about the size of the box? You’d have to add some CSS in there. We’re going to add a few style options on the settings page at some point. For now, you’d need to add that CSS in your theme files or, if you have a settings field for it, add it there. When I look at your site, it seems like it’s behaving. Do you have an example of where it’s not appearing correctly? I can send over the CSS to use.
2. I believe that “thank you” text is added to a header, making it look large. You can, instead, create a “thank you” page in WordPress, with all the correct styles and content, then use the “Thank You” URL setting to send it to that page.

Hope that helps!

Just FYI, someone else posted that moving back to version 1.5.6 will fix this:

You can find it on this page:

Same here … no links were displaying on the page and reverting to the older plugin fixed it. Thanks for the solution!
