Contact Form 7 is the WordPress forms plugin published by Rock Lobster Inc. and maintained on WordPress.org and contactform7.com. The live plugin directory data shows WordPress 6.7+ and PHP 7.4+ requirements, an update on 2026-02-08, and more than 10 million active installs. Its upstream readme declares a GPLv2-or-later license and the official documentation site provides configuration references and usage guidance.
What this skill actually does
This skill matters because Contact Form 7 sites are not edited the same way as sites using visual form builders or custom-coded forms. The plugin uses its own form template syntax, mail configuration, validation tags, and shortcode embedding model. An agent that understands Contact Form 7 can reason about changes like adding a required field, updating recipient addresses, changing the mail body template, troubleshooting validation messages, or locating which page embeds a specific form shortcode.
Useful outputs include form inventories, shortcode mapping, mail-template change plans, spam-protection checklists, validation troubleshooting notes, and implementation guidance for integrating forms into WordPress pages, template parts, and plugin workflows. Integration points include WordPress pages and posts, shortcode placement, mail delivery configuration, anti-spam extensions, custom validation tags, and CRM or webhook handoff steps built around form submissions. For WordPress support and automation work, Contact Form 7 is a concrete operational tool with enough real-world usage to justify a source-backed marketplace skill.
