This is a fork of cformsII, a highly customizable, flexible and powerful form builder plugin, covering a variety of use cases and features.
If you want to use plugin versions older than 14.6.3, you should rename the directory containing the plugin from “cforms2” to “cforms”. But bear in mind that old versions should not be used in public systems, because they contain known serious vulnerabilities that are exploited in the wild.
The current security baseline version is 15.1.4.
Really Simple CAPTCHA for cformsII provides an image CAPTCHA via cformsII’s pluggable CAPTCHA facility. To convert the old CAPTCHA fields to Really Simple CAPTCHA, please install the current version and activate the plugin.
Contact Form DB has support for storing and exporting cformsII’s submission data. Be sure to enable CFDB’s capture submission support for cformsII.
Old Tracking DB for cformsII is for those who do not want to switch from the built-in Tracking DB to CFDB. However it does not have any web interface.
ReCaptcha Integration for WordPress provides a reCAPTCHA implementation for cformsII.
You can see the available languages and contribute via GlotPress. Only some of them that are almost completely translated are installed automatically.
If you want to install another language, please choose its cell in the Development column, export it as Machine Object Message Catalog (.mo) and put it in the wp-content/languages/plugins directory.
You can install the plugin via WordPress Dashboard. It should show up by searching for cforms2. If this does not work for you, there should be an option to upload a zip file, which is available on the wordpress.org plugin directory.
If you want to install manually, please upload the complete plugin folder “cforms2”, contained in the zip file, to your WordPress plugin directory!
If you want to upgrade from the original cformsII from deliciousdays.com, please upgrade to version 14.6.0.5 first, make sure you upgraded your settings (resave your global settings and every form) and backup your database. Then deactivate the original plugin. If you want to migrate your tracking database to CFDB, please install version 14.14 and migrate it. Then you can install the current version of this fork.
The form inclusion does not work with HTML comments (<!--cforms name="..."-->) anymore. You have to use shortcodes [cforms name=”…”] now. Please change the form calls accordingly.
If you want to delete the 14.6.0.5 version by deleting directory “cforms” and you have any cforms-uploaded files, make sure you do not delete your attachments directory, which is contained in the cforms directory by default.
Create a folder in your WordPress plugins directory and call it “cforms-custom”. Move all your custom theme files into it. This folder will protect your changes going forward.
Check out the cforms CSS Guide on layout customization.
Most probably this is not cformsII’s fault. Please check your WordPress mail configuration with a plugin like Check Email. If that reports not to work, you don’t have a mail server running or its settings are broken. Please fix it yourself, tell your hosting provider or use an external SMTP plugin (see the next question).
That function was removed. The WordPress function wp_mail is used for mails now, which makes use of built-in PHPMailer by default. If you want to configure it to use an external SMTP server, use an appropriate plugin, e.g. WP Mail SMTP.
This is an incompatibility with WordPress 4.2+ that was fixed with cformsII 14.9.3. Be sure to use a current version.
These features were removed with version 14.12.
This feature was removed with version 15.0.
cformsII can be extended via WordPress actions and filters. You find their ‘cforms2_’ prefixed names and inline documentation at the apply_filters and do_action calls. Additionally there is one API function that you can call directly: insert_cform. Please have a look at its PHPDoc. Older cformsII versions had an API called my-functions, but that is removed as of version 14.14.
<form> element for easier styling across sitesbugfix: WP 2.9 idiotic $_REQUEST / get_magic_quotes_gpc() override in wp-settings.php
feature: cforms headers: can now also be excluded on certain pages (Global Settings))
feature: conditional redirection (my-functions.php) can now return “” (empty string) to cancel
redirection altogether
bugfix: fixed “magic deletion” of \ (backslashes) for some users when updating settings
bugfix: Tracking/download of CSV: “Add URL for upload fields” option fixed for MP forms
other: plugin removal code enhanced (turns off plugin automatically now)
feature: redirect options: “hide” & “redirect” have been split, allowing both
find ‘hide’ under ‘core options’ now
make sure to check both options, they may have been reset!
feature: email: supporting mail server that strictly require CRLF
new option under GlobalSettings > Mail Server Settings
bugfix: field labels that would have an escaped character (e.g quotes) would not be
referenced correctly and required a slash until now (e.g. {Your friend\’s Name} ).
bugfix: fixed WP comment form ‘comment id not found’ error
other: plugin update notice has become smaller / can be toggled
