Overview
Pirate Forms is no longer under active development. We recommend using WPForms because it is the most beginner-friendly WordPress contact form plugin in the market.
In Sep 2018, Pirate Forms was acquired by WPForms. We’re retiring Pirate Forms in favor of the modern form builder by WPForms, so users can have access to best user experience and more powerful WordPress form features.

Great product, but recently stopped working
by lukeatbytestoriescom·6 years ago
About a month ago, contact form entries stopped coming in via email and I just checked the system and it displayed “Mail sending failed! (Could not instantiate mail function.)” in the Mail Status page on ‘edit.php?post_type=pf_contact’
I haven’t changed any settings and wasn’t sure of where I could get any support from so I can keep using it.
Thanks, Luke
Very good
