Questions About the Simple Contact Form Template?

The simple contact form template is a popular topic of interest among our readers. Here are answers to some common queries we get asked about it:

Does this Simple Contact Form Template work with an SMTP plugin?

Yes! This one is ready to be used with our WPForms SMTP integration. It helps your emails reach the inbox so you don’t miss a message from your website.

We recommend using SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) because WordPress’s default email function (wp_mail) is often unreliable and your hosting provider may block outgoing emails.

Is the Simple Contact Form Template really free?

The Simple Contact Form template is available with both WPForms Lite (100% free) and WPForms Pro.

WPForms Lite includes:

  • The Simple Contact Form template
  • Unlimited forms and submissions
  • Basic fields (name, email, text)
  • Spam protection
  • Email notifications
  • Mobile responsiveness

WPForms Pro adds:

  • 2,000+ additional templates
  • Entry management in your WordPress dashboard
  • Advanced fields (file upload, date picker, ratings, etc.)
  • Payment integrations (Stripe, PayPal, Square)
  • Email marketing integrations
  • Conditional logic
  • Priority support

How do I receive notifications when someone submits the form?

WPForms automatically sends you email notifications. Here’s how to configure them:

  • In the form builder, go to Settings » Notifications.
  • Enter your email address in the “Send To Email Address” field.
  • Customize the email subject line and message.
  • Add CC/BCC recipients if needed.
  • Use Smart Tags to include form field data in the notification.

On paid plans, you can create multiple notifications to send to different people based on form responses. For example, sales inquiries to your sales team and support requests to your support team.

Can I translate the form into other languages?

Yes! WPForms is translation-ready. You can:

  • Manually change all field labels and text in the form builder.
  • Work with WPML, Polylang, and other translation plugins.
  • Create versions of the form in different languages with WPForms AI.
