   Hello Craig,

   Can you help me with a problem I have with Contact Form 7. I have been trying to fix the text box width for Contact Form 7 that I have installed on the sidebar of my site. The text box goes beyond the margin of the site but the name, email and captcha boxes are okay with the Twenty Ten 1.1 theme; and with your ghostwriting 1.0 theme all the boxes stick out of the margin to the right. I would also like to have a border around the boxes making up the contact form. Maybe I need a new theme? Thanks.

   Hi Eric,

   Please post your questions on the ghostwritingcash.com/blog/ from today, thanks!

   About your question, it’s a highly custom job within the wordpress contact form 7 plugin not a theme issue.

   I’m suggesting you do not use contact form this way.

   Within your hosting account, there is an auto responder. Please use that.

   Also, make sure you avoid wording like “Get On Our Mailing List” which will get you no where.

   Try something in the lines of “Free Articles?”

   Hi Craig

   I really appreciate this Contact Form 7 tutorial. Clear, simple and up to date. How can I add CAPTCHA into the standard WordPress comment form? if it’s needed.

   Thanks Martin,

   To answer your question, I’d use this

   Hi Craig,

   I did everything as per your tutorial. Even deleted the plugin that I had previously installed and installed the one you have here. But my contact form is still not visible. All I get in my contact webpage is the code [contact-form 1 "Contact form 1"] displayed. Could you tell me why?
7. Craig February 11, 2011

   Sure… Why is because when you created your contact page you did not click on the “HTML” tab before adding the code.
   It was in the video.

   Actually Craig, I did do that as well! I probably am making a very silly mistake somewhere and breaking my head on this for the past 2 days!

   I just added a captcha to my contact form and am still getting spam messages, I was just searching around the internet for help and found this article and video. Any idea how to make this captcha a required field? Thanks!

    Just wondering how secure Contact Form 7 is. I want to use it to receive payment information. It is working perfectly, now I need to know about security. Thanks!

    I’ve never had any issues with it security wise. If I were you, I’d Google “Security issues with contact form 7″

    Best,

    Dude… I love you.

    Thanks for the help.

    Thanks for the tutorial. That was a huge help.

    I noticed that after I sent a test email from the contact form I didn’t receive it.

    I checked the to make sure the email address was right in the contact form as well as the WordPress admin form.

    Anyone know of any bugs or issues that might cause this?

    Thanks again.
14. Craig August 16, 2011

    Not that I know of Dave.

    Craig,
    Thanks for your video. You site is a great resource. I followed your instructions and used the Contact Form 7 plugin you provided and installed the plugin, installed the Really Simple CAPTCHA plugin. Next under the Contact 7 tool area,

    I created the form using the CAPTCHA tag and pasting it under the fields code, entered my email address in the mail setup area, then Saved the form tool area setup in both locations.

    Next, I created a page and pasted the comment form code in the HTML field of the page, then published. I get the form fields to show up on my contact page with CAPTCHA. I followed your video item by item, but when I submit the form I get the error, “Failed to send message. Please try later or contact administrator by other way.”

    Any advice to fix this? I do have a plugin update notice for my Contact 7. Should I update?

    Thanks,
    -Adam

    It’s got to be a email setting in the form. Make sure the email address is correct.
