ACF Field For CF7
Ever struggled with placing Contact Form 7 forms exactly where you want on your web site? Normally, to display a Contact Form 7 form, you need to copy a shortcode like [contact-form-7 id="123"] and paste it in the right place. One wrong character and the form breaks. If you have 10 pages with different forms, managing all those shortcodes becomes a headache. ACF Field for CF7 solves this. It adds a simple dropdown field with help of Advanced Custom Fields to your page editor that lists all your Contact Form 7 forms. Just pick the form you want and it’s done. It shows up on your page. No shortcodes to copy. No code to write. No mistakes. Before vs After This Plugin Without this plugin: 1. Create a form in Contact Form 7. 2. Copy the shortcode. 3. Paste it into your page, widget, or template. 4. Hope you didn’t mistype anything. 5. Repeat for every page that needs a different form. With this plugin: 1. Create a form in Contact Form 7. 2. Add a Advanced Custom Field for Contact Form 7 to your desired location. 3. Pick Contact Form from a dropdown field. 4. Done.

For Developers: Quick Start Register an ACF field with type contact_form_7, then output it in your template: // Display the form directly echo get_field( 'your_form_field' ); Need the CF7 form object instead of rendered HTML? Use this filter: add_filter( 'acf_cf7_object', '__return_true' ); Now get_field() returns the WPCF7_ContactForm object for full control over the output. Real-World Examples • Landing Pages — Each landing page has its own lead capture form. Editors pick which form appears — no developer needed. • Service Pages — A web agency builds one template for all service pages. Each page shows a different inquiry form selected by the client. • Site-Wide Default Form — Use with ACF option pages to set one global “Contact Us” form across headers, footers, or sidebars. • Multi-Language Sites — Different forms for different languages, each selected per page through the editor.

Configuration To configure which post types or page templates the page builder is displayed on, use the following filter in your functions.php file: function support_acfpb( $support = array() ) { $support['post_type'] = array( 'page', 'post' ); $support['page_template'] = array( 'page-templates/page-sectioned.php' ); return $support; } add_filter('acfpb_set_locations', 'support_acfpb', 10, 1); Usage We designed the functions to match the ACF syntax of get_field() and the_field().
