Use any of your Contact Form 7 Forms in your sidebars. You can even style it from the widget options. This will also work with any other shortcodes that only work in posts. Just insert the shortcode (ie [contact-form 1 “Contact form 1”]) in the ‘Contact Form 7 tag’ text field. Leave styling options blank in order to style from your theme’s css.

Still works!
by deskeater·7 years ago

This is a great plugin. It’s 2018 and the plugin still works like a charm!

Savior!
by tonyenergywise·7 years ago

Thankyou so much for this awesome widget!
I was trying for weeks to get a contact form working properly in the footer area of my site, tried various other plugins and code but none could fix the spacing and padding issues. This plugin works flawlessly, thankyou so much!

impresive
by Mladen Gradev·10 years ago

This plugin is really impressive. It is 7 years old, still version 1.0, with only one review and 20.000+ downloads!?! And it is working perfectly. I don’t know what to say, except good work.

Makes me nervous it's out of date…

…but there’s no alternative widget for contact form 7, wtf. It works just fine with my 3.5.1 website though, so I guess this is the only option! :\
