  Unfortunately, this plugin is so popular that it attracts spam as well. I hate to self-promote, but I’ve modified Ryan’s plugin to ask a challenge question:

  You can download the modified version here.

  Hope you like it!

  Thanks for the tip, Doug!

  Contact forms get just as much spam as any comment form these days, I’ve heard of some folks who were going to integrate Akismet into their comment form but I don’t know what has come of it yet.

• Brian said:

  Akismet works great.

  I don’t get a lot of contact form spam at all, but I get plenty of comment spam (which Akismet catches). But no matter what, there’s nothing worse than publishing your email address on a website. Once the spammers get it, you’ve got to eventually just kill it off and get a new mail address.

• Shane said:

  If you have to put an email address on your site, you can slow down the spam onslaught by using a plugin like caesarmail (google to find).

  Eventually spammers will come to your site and get your addy by seeing it, but this defeats the bots pretty nicely.

  I need it so users can send attachments using their own email client — until I can find or develop a form with that functionality

  I didn’t find the Ryan Duff plugin, but there is a contact form ][ plugin which is supposedly an update. This went in very smoothly on a WP 2.06 site.

• Jonathan said:

  Boo ya! Just found a PHP5-only, Akismet-checked contact form for pretty much any PHP-based site; not just WordPress. Hence, it’s not a plugin. But it’s very easy to install. Just make a new template (contact.php or whatever), place the form where the content would go, and then make a new page in WP using that new template. Boom.

  Get it via Subversion.

• Sidney McLean said:

  I have followed all the instructions for installing the contact page, however, I am receiving an error message as follows:

  Internal Server Error

  The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

  Please contact the server administrator, root@foo.tld and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

  More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

  Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

  I’m at a lost…..help please!

• Pierfrancesco Marsiaj said:

  Thanks for the plugin, pretty clean and effective.
  One suggestion though, since it’s incompatible with the wpPHPMailer plugin (http://www.coffee2code.com/wp-plugins/), I’d change the mail() function with something like that:

  if ( function_exists(’wp_mail’) ) {
  wp_mail($recipient, $subject, $fullmsg, $headers);
  } else {
  mail($recipient, $subject, $fullmsg, $headers);
  }

  In my case in which I need to contact an external smtp host because the web server has no mail facility, this patch is a must.
