2. 02Search for Simple Contact Form – Accessible & Anti-Spam , click Install Now , and activate the plugin.

That’s it. Your contact form is ready to receive messages.

Does the contact form work without JavaScript?

That depends on the selected submission method.

The “AJAX with a non-JavaScript fallback” mode submits the form using AJAX when JavaScript is available. Without JavaScript, the form is submitted through the regular WordPress form handler.

The “AJAX only – JavaScript required” mode does not accept submissions without JavaScript.

What is the difference between the accessible challenge and Cloudflare Turnstile?

The accessible challenge is generated by the plugin and does not require an external service or JavaScript.

Cloudflare Turnstile is an optional external spam protection service. It requires JavaScript in the visitor’s browser and valid Turnstile site and secret keys.

When the non-JavaScript fallback is enabled, an accessible challenge can be used to protect submissions made without JavaScript.

Which information is shared with external services?

External requests are only made when the corresponding option is enabled.

Country.is receives the visitor’s IP address when country blocking is configured. Maileroo receives the submitted email address when email verification is enabled. Cloudflare receives the Turnstile verification data when Turnstile is configured.

What is the difference between Maileroo email verification and the Maileroo SMTP plugin?

Maileroo email verification checks whether a submitted email address can be accepted. The Maileroo SMTP plugin is a separate plugin that can deliver WordPress emails through Maileroo. Either feature can be used independently.

What should I do when the spam log file cannot be created?

The plugin uses standard file permissions for its spam log. If your hosting environment requires different permissions, ask your hosting provider which file permission should be used.

You can define FWSACF_CHMOD_FILE in wp-config.php using the value recommended by your hosting provider.
