Example: email_to="your-email-address" subject="your subject" label_submit="your label" Display form submissions in dashboard Via the settings page you can activate form submissions being stored and displayed in your dashboard. After activation go to menu item “Submissions”. Your form submissions will be listed here. SMTP SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) is an internet standard for sending emails. By default, WordPress uses the PHP mail() function for sending emails. But when using SMTP there’s less chance your form submissions are being marked as spam. You must install an additional plugin for this, such as WP mail SMTP. Cache If you’re using a caching plugin and want to avoid conflicts with the contact form, exclude your contact page from caching. This can be done via the settings page of most caching plugins. Have a question? Please take a look at the FAQ section. Translation Translations are not included, but the plugin supports WordPress language packs. More translations are very welcome! The translation folder inside this plugin is redundant, but kept for reference. Credits Without help and support from the WordPress community I was not able to develop this plugin, so thank you!

You can disable the columns in favour of your own styling. The columns attribute will be ignored when using the block or widget. Because you can set the columns via the block or widget settings. With the “hide link title” attribute you can hide the link title if the link has an image assigned to it. This way you can display the link image only, instead of both. Widget This plugin activates the Links widget again. Because this widget is part of WordPress, plugin has no control over it. You can use the VS Link Manager widget instead. Have a question?
