Moved to Everest?
by dhilly·6 years ago
Absolutely love this contact form plugin. I’ve used it for years on many different websites, but because it hasn’t been updated in so long, I went looking for other options. I can’t speak for the developer, but I believe the Everest Forms plugin is the follow-on plugin – it appears to be the EXACT same thing just new & improved (and up-to-date) – you’ll recognize it immediately on the backend if you’ve used CCF for any length of time. FYI.

Please update and test compatibility with current wordpress. I’m concerned of security issues.
Websites down after update of WP
by SMPenev·8 years ago
3 of my websites that are hosted on different servers went down after attempting to update WP to 4.8.1.
The error is
[15-Sep-2017 07:21:44 UTC] PHP Fatal error: Cannot redeclare create_initial_rest_routes() (previously declared in /home/XXX/domain.com/wp-includes/rest-api.php:183) in /home/XXX/cdomain.com/wp-content/plugins/custom-contact-forms/wp-api/plugin.php on line 221
Works perfect across three websites!

I see that there are people who have issues with this plugin, but I’ve been very happy with it. There could be some improvements and extended functionality, but “as is” I’m a happy user!
