    In reply to: Easy Contact doesn’t work

    kharles and beckerartography:

    I landed here with the same issue.

    I took a look at the code for the plugin and found the problem. The message only includes the form submitter’s information in one place — the “Reply-To:” field.

    So if you reply to the email, you’ll see the submitter’s name and email address in the To: field.

    I want the email to have the submitter’s information in the From: field (name and email address), and also have the info in the body of the email. Here’s what I did:

    1. Open econtact.php, in the easy-contact folder (make a copy first in case something breaks)

    2. Around line 233, look for:

    $headers .= "From: $from_name <$from_email>\r\n";

    and replace with:

    $headers .= "From: $user\r\n";

    That will change the email header information and display the submitter’s info in the From: field.

    3. Around line 250, look for:

    $message .= __( 'Website: ', 'easy_contact' ) . strip_tags(trim($_POST['ec_url'])) . "\n\n---\n";

    and insert these 2 lines just before it:

    $message      .=  __( 'Name: ', 'easy_contact' ) . strip_tags(trim($_POST['ec_name'])) . "\n\n";
$message      .=  __( 'Email: ', 'easy_contact' ) . strip_tags(trim($_POST['ec_email'])) . "\n\n";

    4. Save and replace the original file on the server.

    The email you receive will now look like:

    Here is the message…

    —
    Name: person’s name

    Email: person’s email

    Website: person’s URL

    —
    All the other info (IP, referrer, etc)

    I’ve tested it out, and this works properly…

    Hi Michael,

    I think I’m trying to do the same thing the OP was looking for, but to no avail… I’m trying to add a conditional statement to header.php that tests if the post is written by a particular author. This would only apply to actual post pages (that use single.php) and not to the homepage (index.php) or archives (archive.php). The code would then call a specific CSS stylesheet based on the author’s name:

    <link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/style
<?php
  $author = get_the_author();
  if ($author=="John") {
    echo "-john";
  } elseif ($author=="Jake") {
    echo "-jake";
  }
?>
.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />

    If the author is John, the stylesheet that would be called would be ‘style-john.css’, ‘style-jake.css’ for Jake, and ‘style.css’ if there’s no author (for index.php and archive.php).

    I haven’t been able to get this to work, in the <head> section of header.php. BTW, I’m testing this all out on the default Kubrick template.

    I’ve been able to get WordPress to echo the name of the author at the very top of the page using this:

    <?php
  $author = get_the_author();
  echo $author;
?>

    When viewing a single post, it will show the author’s name right at the top of the page before the header. If you’re on the homepage, nothing displays, which is exactly how I want it.

    If I drop this code into header.php anywhere before the opening <body> tag, nothing displays at all.

    I’ve tried all of this with the code you suggested, but I get the same thing.

    Any tips? Is what I want to do even possible? Thanks!
