I am trying to help a friend who's original developer bailed on this site. The theme is Webicompanyz and I see its using the Contact Form 7 plugin. In one of the pages is the following code snippet:
[include_contact]
This is including a form, but i cant tell where from. All the form includes from the Contact Form 7 plugin are different and I dont see this form listed anywhere. How can I tell where this code snippet is pulling from?
What you are seeing on this page is called a 'short code'. When WordPress reached one of these blocks it knows to fetch the missing content.
Short codes are widely used in plugins and widgets as an easy way to create dynamic content.
For your particular case
I would suggest viewing documentation for Contact Form 7

I have contact form 7, form in my Wordpress site.
I want when form is submitted (and mail has sent) to pass via post method, the data to onother PHP file. In my last PHP file I have code to send form's data to a CRM system.
I have searched over the internet for a solution. Some people say its easy some other not. But at the end there isn't any example on how to do that.
Also I did not found anything in CF7 documentation.
What I found is hook and actions.
The only logical solution I found is that in this link .
But I don't understand where to put the code and how to call it.
The best way is to create a custom Plugin. Then you can add the code listed in your link to your Plugin code.
A guide to Plugin development can be found here. A good Plugin template to get you started can be downloaded from here.
I'm a beginner in PHP but an expert in programming in general, so I program C and C++ usually, but I have no experience with posting and getting with PHP, so I don't really understand the exact mechanism how this works.
Yesterday I worked for like two hours on my webserver and set a page on my Wordpress to make visitors upload a file. The page submits a form to a custom PHP page, but that page is empty and dull, and I would like to make the confirmation page in Wordpress itself. What I tried to do for that is that I created a new page, and used the plugin "insert PHP", and simply pasted the code from the page, to which the form submits, and made my upload form post to that Wordpress page. This doesn't seem to work.
How can I get this to work?
Simplifying the question: How can I make my form in wordpress post to another wordpress page and give the response in a wordpress page rather than a PHP page created from scratch?
If my question is not clear or requires any additional information to be answered, please let me know.
Thank you.
You're going to want to get to know specialized page templates in WordPress, and the page templating system in general. Ideally, you'd create a page in wp-admin and create a specialized page template for it.
If you're doing form processing, you can do that in the new template...but may be better off moving that logic to the functions.php file. Use action hooks to ensure that your processing functions are run on submit.
I inherited a website project and found out it was working on the modx CMS.
I need to add a captcha to the contact form but I'm not used to modx.
If i'm correct, all the HTML parts are located inside the database, so I went searching and found a contact page in the 'modx_site_templates' table. Inside this record there is content:
{{header_detail}}{{navigation}}{{main_form}}{{footers}}
Now the next step: I cannot seem to find where this main_form is located and how can I put a captcha on it?
Thanks in advance!
I'm trying to integrate a form like this into Wordpress
This form works perfectly with the PayPal API sandbox. However, when I tried to move this work over to the WP site of my organization, globalcitizenyear.org/donate/donation-form-2/, I keep coming up short.
Anyone have any tips to keep in mind when doing this? What steps would you take first to make this happen in Wordpress - any details on what to avoid, or what potential hangups might be?
Make a page called page-donation-form-2.php and load this code into it. You can leave in the get_header() and get_footer() tags if you want to have the site wrapper around the outside.
Make sure to change your form action also. And remember, that since this is in WordPress now, you will need to avoid some reserved form elements. Full list here.
If you have any trouble, please post your code here.
I am very new to WordPress, so I would appreciate some help.
I am using WordPress as a CMS, and I am trying to make the thing work so that when I select a page to edit, there is a special box where I can input PHP code that will execute on my page.
I have found the PHP exec plugin, which works perfectly, but I would like to keep the code out of my main text editor, out of the way of my client's careless fingers.
Any suggestions would be very, very appreciated. Thanks!
You could create a template for each one, and include your PHP there.
Simply select the template from the page edit page.
But if you are only including a little PHP per page, you could get the slug via WordPress in your page template and act on it accordingly.
You can also add an extra meta box on the post editor page, only visible to you, with a textarea where you can add the code. You would save it as a meta field of the post. Your template can check for the existence of this field, and execute it if found.
PHP Exec is the best plugin I have found, and I looked long and hard for that one. The problem with doing it as you suggest is that if the PHP code displays an item on the page, it still has to be formatted within the page as well. It is a simple logistical problem, but somewhat of a complex coding problem. I haven't been able to get around to working on creating a better plugin for it.
