Micro Contact Form Plugin for WordPress

WordPress offers a wide variety of contact form plugins, many of which are highly configurable and support complex forms. While powerful, these plugins can be overkill for site owners who simply want a quick and easy way for visitors to reach them. Even the simplest forms can require substantial effort to configure.

The Micro Contact Form plugin takes the opposite approach. It is a lightweight, no-configuration solution that creates a simple four-field contact form. The plugin focuses on simplicity by collecting only the most essential information and sending it directly to the site administrator’s e-mail address defined in the WordPress settings.

Why You Might Need This Plugin

Not every website needs advanced features like conditional logic, multi-step forms, or integrations with external services. Sometimes, all you need is a fast, lightweight contact option. The Micro Contact Form plugin is ideal if you want:

• A contact form without complexity: No multi-page settings or lengthy setup process.
• Minimal effort: Install, activate, and add a shortcode.
• Lightweight performance: No extra database tables or heavy code.
• Spam protection compatibility: Integrates with the Analytical Spam Filter Plugin to block unwanted submissions.
• Privacy for your e-mail: Visitors are able to contact you without publishing your e-mail address.

How It Works

The plugin outputs a straightforward contact form with four fields:

• From Name
• Return E-mail Address
• Message Subject
• Message Content

When a visitor submits the form:

1. Their input is collected.
2. The information is sent via the built-in WordPress wp-mail function (SMTP).
3. The message arrives in the site administrator’s inbox (or another specified address).

The plugin is designed for efficiency: it does not create database tables and it leverages built-in WordPress e-mail functions.

Features

• No configuration required.
• Uses the built-in WordPress wp-mail function (SMTP) for sending e-mails.
• Compatible with SMTP bypass plugins.
• No additional database tables created.

Options

• Change the displayed labels for the name, e-mail, subject, and message fields, as well as the submit button.

How to Use the Plugin

Using the Micro Contact Form plugin is simple:

1. Install and activate the plugin from your WordPress dashboard.
2. Insert the [micro_contact_form] shortcode into any page or post.
3. Optional: Adjust settings under the plugin’s configuration page to fit your needs.
   • Change field labels (Name, E-mail, Subject, Message, Submit button).
   • Adjust the required field indicator.
   • Specify a different recipient e-mail address.
