One big benefit is its **flexible positioning** in pages and posts as a **modern style block or classic shortcode**.\n\nTo keep your website safe, it comes with built in **spam and bot protection**, by using Akisment and reCaptcha for messages sent by visitors. The plugin is continuously improved and used on live websites since 2012.\n\nth23 Contact is built with some few goals in mind:\n\n* **Simple and straight forward** option for user to contact you\n* **Light-weight code basis** without overheads and frameworks\n* **Easy to adapt styling** to fit any page design and layout\n* **Fight spam and bots** without unnecessary hurdles (admittedly it's a compromise)\n\nSee it in action on my [Contact page](https://thorstenhartmann.de/kontakt/).\n\n\u003e \u003cimg alt=\"\" title=\"Contact form (logged in user)\" src=\"https://raw.githubusercontent.com/th23x/th23-contact/refs/heads/main/assets/screenshot-1.jpg?v=3.1.3\" width=\"400\"\u003e\n\u003e \u003cimg alt=\"\" title=\"Contact form (visitor, needs to solve captcha)\" src=\"https://raw.githubusercontent.com/th23x/th23-contact/refs/heads/main/assets/screenshot-2.jpg?v=3.1.3\" width=\"400\"\u003e\n\u003e \u003cimg alt=\"\" title=\"Plugin settings\" src=\"https://raw.githubusercontent.com/th23x/th23-contact/refs/heads/main/assets/screenshot-3.jpg?v=3.1.3\" width=\"400\"\u003e\n\n\n## ⚙️ Setup\n\nFor a manual installation upload extracted `th23-contact` folder to your `wp-content/plugins` directory.\n\nThe plugin is **configured via its settings page in the admin area**. Find all options under `Settings` -\u003e `th23 Contact`. The options come with a description of the setting and its behavior directly next to the respective settings field.\n\n\n## 🖐️ Usage\n\nSimply insert a new `th23 Contact form` block into the post / page using the plus sign in the Gutenberg editor or start typing `/th23 Contact form`.\n\nAlternatively use the `[th23-contact]` shortcode directly in the source code editor view of a post / page or insert it as a **legacy shortcode block**.\n\n\u003e [!NOTE]\n\u003e The th23 Contact form block and / or shortcode **can only be used once per post / page**!\n\u003e\n\u003e Any second instance in the same post / page will be ignored upon frontend rendering and not show up.\n\n\u003e [!TIP]\n\u003e Ensure th23 contact form is enabled for the sepcific post / page - see admin area under `Settings` -\u003e `th23 Contact`.\n\n\n## ❓ FAQ\n\n### Q: Despite reCaptcha being activated, **I receive many spam contact messages**? ###\n\nA: reCaptcha is around for a long time and available in various versions. Its version 2 was added to this plugin some years ago. Unfortunately with latest advances in computing, **it has to be considered \"broken\" by now**.\n\nSince version 3.1.0 of this plugin, there is (additionally) the **option to use Akismet to detect spam**. It uses a much broader approach and thus for now seems to show significatly better detection of spam. **Activate it on the plugins settings page**.\n\n### Q: Can the plugin be activated on **multiple selected pages / posts only**? ###\n\nA: You can enable the block / shortcode for selected pages / posts only to **save your users unnecessarily loading JavaScript and CSS files**.\n\nBut for convenience the `th23 Contact` block / `[th23-contact]` shortcode can also be enabled for `All pages`, `All posts` or an selected set of pages / posts. Simply visit the plugin settings in your admin area. Under \"Pages / Posts\" you have the free choice.\n\nTo select multiple items on a PC simply keep the \"Ctrl\" key pressed any click on the pages / posts you want to select.\n\n\n## 🤝 Contributors\n\nFeel free to [raise issues](https://github.com/th23x/th23-contact/issues) or [contribute code](https://github.com/th23x/th23-contact/pulls) for improvements via GitHub.\n\n\n## ©️ License\n\nYou are free to use this code in your projects as per the `GNU General Public License v3.0`.
