That is an excellent question.

I upgraded a less popular blog of mine to 2.3 yesterday just to test it, and while some of my plugins broke, so far the contact form seems to work.

Does this work with 2.3?

Donna you are more than welcome. It took a while, but we got it where we want it

Enjoy the plug-in!

So far, so good. I just downloaded and installed this plug-in. It was so easy that a technically challenged person such as myself could do it. I have also run a test on it and will follow your advice to have some others do so as well.

I want to thank you for this. BTW, I did add you to my Technorati favorites.

No worries.

Be sure to have a few folks come by and test your new contact form, just to make sure you have it configured properly.

Cheers

Yep. I installed it into the wrong folder and couldn’t, for the life of me, see what the heck I’d done wrong. But it’s happy days now. Thank you for your kind offer of help.

I installed your widget and placed %%wpcontactform%% on the Contact page. This showed the forms ok. But in the Control Panel, if I click Options >> Contact Form this just sends me to my blog with a 404 Error - Page not found message. How, then, can I configure the widget?

Thanks.

OK folks, I think we have it now. Thanks for your patience. As it turns out, the original contact form had more issues than anyone was aware of. I think it works smoothly for everyone who is trying it now.

Peter and Igor, my suggestion is navigate away from the Plugins in Administrations to some other area inside Admin. Then, FTP to your plugins folder and delete the fixed wp-contact-form folder from the Plugins directory.

I am curious, can you tell me if you already had the original wp-contact-form plugin installed? And if so, did you deactivate it and delete the original plugin before installing the new one?

I have the same problem that Igor is experiencing. When I go to Plugins in WP admin, instead of there being a way to activate the Contact Form plugin, all I see is all the code from the plugin itself. I put the WP-Contact-Form folder in my Plugins directory — usually that allows me to activate the plugin through my WP admin page. However, in this case, all I see on the page Plugin admin page is just all the code from the plugin itself.

I am not sure I understand your question. What are you asking?

Hello. I have great message in my Plugins page, like this:

Ryan Duff but has been modified by Doug Karr to require a challenge question and response to fight spam as well as some other features. * Author: Douglas Karr * Author URI: http://www.douglaskarr.com * Version: 2.0.4 */ load_plugin_textdomain(’wpcf’,$path=’wp-content/plugins/wp-contact-form’); // Declare strings that change depending on input. This also resets them so errors clear on resubmission. $wpcf_strings=array( ‘name’=>”, ‘email’=>”, ‘response’=>”, ‘usersubject’=>”, ‘msg’=>”.htmlentities($_POST['wpcf_msg']).”, ‘error’=>” ); function wpcf_is_malicious($input) { $bad_inputs=array(”\r”, “\n”, “mime-version”, “content-type”, “cc:”, “to:”); foreach ($bad_inputs as $bad_input) { if (strpos(strtolower($input), strtolower($bad_input)) !== false) { return true; } } return false; } function wpcf_is_challenge($input) { $answer=get_option(’wpcf_answer’);

It’s something wrong???
