StickEasy Protected Contact Form

StickEasy Protected Contact Form is the fastest way to get a functional contact form on your WordPress site. This plugin is focused on simplicity and speed, allowing you to create a minimal contact form by simply placing a shortcode on any page.

There’s no complex setup or field builder. Just install, place the shortcode, and start receiving messages.

As an added benefit, the form includes built-in basic spam protection (nonce verification, a honeypot field, submission time validation, a bad words filter, and a human interaction check) to keep most automated bots away without the need for CAPTCHAs or third-party services.

Usage

1. Simple Setup (Shortcode)

To instantly add the contact form, insert the following shortcode into any post or page:

[spcf_form]

2. Basic Customization

You can adjust the basic form behavior from Settings → StickEasy Contact.
The following options are available:

Contact Form Settings

• Edit Form Labels

  • Customize the visible labels for each field (Name, Email, Message) to match your website’s tone or language.
    NOTE: Basic HTML such as <strong> or <br> can be used for emphasis or formatting.

• Toggle the Name field on or off with a single checkbox. Useful when you prefer a shorter form or want to accept anonymous messages.

• Specify the recipient email address for messages.
  By default, messages are sent to the Administration Email Address set in your WordPress settings (“Settings” → “General”).

• Custom Success Message

  • Edit the message shown after the form is successfully submitted.
    You can also use simple HTML formatting, such as <br>for line breaks.
    Example: “Thank you!<br>We will get back to you within 2 business days.”

Spam Protection Settings

• Enable or disable all built-in spam protection features at once.
  Included protections: Honeypot, Submission Time Check, and Forbidden Word Filter.

• Minimum Submission Time
  Set the minimum number of seconds a visitor must remain on the page before submitting.
  A value between 3 and 10 seconds is generally recommended.

• Forbidden Word Filter
  Add blocked words, domains, email patterns, or IP addresses to prevent spam submissions.
  Note:
  The Forbidden Word Filter list also applies to the visitor’s email address and IP address, not just the message body.
  Examples:
  　viagra
　bit.ly
　visitor@email.com
　123.45.67.89
