Shortcode Popup Forms

The Shortcode Popup Forms plugin allows you to easily add contact forms to your WordPress pages using a simple shortcode.

The plugin supports custom SMTP settings for reliable email delivery and offers multiple button design options.

Features

• Add a contact form anywhere using a simple shortcode
• Assign the message recipient (person/department) per shortcode
• Minimal, fast, and fully responsive
• No bloat — only essential fields
• GDPR-friendly (no tracking, no cookies)
• Works with any theme
• Supports custom success messages

Shortcode Example

`

[thaxam-contact name=”John Doe” email=”john@example.com”]
`

Settings Page

The plugin settings page can be accessed from your WordPress admin dashboard:

1. Go to Tools > Shortcode Popup Forms
2. Configure SMTP settings for custom email delivery
3. Customize button designs and default recipient information

The settings page includes three tabs:
– SMTP Settings: Configure custom SMTP server details for reliable email delivery
– Default Recipient: Set default contact name and email for forms when not specified in shortcode
– Button Design: Customize button appearance, colors, and behavior with multiple design options

Usage

Add the contact form to any page or post using the shortcode:

[thaxam-contact name=”John Doe” email=”johndoe@email.com”]

Shortcode Parameters

• name (required): The name of the person to contact
• email (required): The email address to send the message to
• design (optional): Override the default button design (default, modern, gradient, outline, neumorphism, glassmorphism)

Examples

[thaxam-contact name=”John Doe” email=”johndoe@email.com”]

This will create a “Send Email” button with the default design that reveals a contact form when clicked.

[thaxam-contact name=”Jane Smith” email=”jane@email.com” design=”modern”]

This will create a “Send Email” button with the modern design style.

SMTP Configuration

If the default WordPress email settings don’t work, you can configure custom SMTP settings:

1. Go to Tools > Shortcode Popup Forms in your WordPress admin
2. Enter your SMTP server details:
   • SMTP Host: Your email server hostname (e.g., smtp.gmail.com)
   • SMTP Port: Usually 587 for TLS or 465 for SSL
   • SMTP Encryption: TLS, SSL, or None
   • SMTP Username: Your email username
   • SMTP Password: Your email password
3. Save the settings

Gmail Configuration Example

For Gmail:
– SMTP Host: smtp.gmail.com
– SMTP Port: 587
