Descripción

The features

- Options for the email subject and the from/to email addresses
- You can change/translate all text using a localization tool
- Translated into the Dutch language
- Optional: Redirect to a «thank you…» page
- The form HTML is compatible with the Bootstrap CSS framework
- Optional: Use the CSS style-sheet included by the plugin
- Track successfully submitted forms in Google Analytics and/or Clicky
The plugin is built to keep stuff simple. If you need a complex web form or if you need a form builder, please use one of the existing form plugins. To use the «Block countries» feature we use the IP to Country API from Country.is. They offer a free service and you don’t need an API key.
