Important WordPress Contact Forms Plugin Update

Important WordPress Contact Forms Plugin Update

Version 1.4.10 of WordPress Contact Forms by Cimatti is the first WordPress Contact Forms plugin update in twelve months. Our goal has always been to provide a way to make better forms, and this update has both fixes and improvements.

If you are currently using this plugin, you can update it directly from the Installed Plugins page of your WordPress backend.

Otherwise, you can download the latest version from the plugin page on the wordpress.org website: WordPress Contact Forms by Cimatti.

Better tracking of form submissions

Starting from this version, when a user submits a form, the plugin adds a hash parameter to the URL of the page based on the following rules:

• url#formSubmitError-formId.
  Track the number of times the submission of the form generates an error as a result of problems with the internet connection or with server errors.
• url#formSubmitInvalid-formId.
  Track the number of times the form is not valid on submission, including when not all mandatory fields are filled in.
• url#formSubmitSuccess-formId.
  Track the number of times a form is submitted successfully.

Furthermore, if the same form is present on the page more than once, a counter is added to the formId (FormId-2, FormId-3,…).

These hash parameters will be visible in your analytics program, such as Google Analytics, to allow you to better evaluate the performance of each form.

Other changes

Most other changes are “under the hood” and deal with technical issues that improve speed and reduce errors. We tested compatibility with the latest versions of WordPress (5.4.2) and PHP (7.4).

We improved the loading times of reCAPTCHA v2. We removed unused resources from the PFBC library. ColorPicker styles and javascript now load only if it is being used.
