What It Does

This plugin adds conditional logic to Contact Form 7, allowing you to create dynamic forms that show or hide fields based on user input.

When editing your CF7 form, you will find an additional tag called 'Conditional fields Group'. Everything placed between the start and end tag will be hidden by default. You can set conditions to make these groups appear based on user selections.

Conditional Fields for Contact Form 7 is an independent plugin, not affiliated with the developers of Contact Form 7. It offers features like required fields inside hidden groups, email content control based on visible groups, and nested groups for complex forms.

For advanced users, conditions can also be coded as plain text using the Text View. If you need even more power, consider the Pro version, which adds repeatable fields, multistep forms, custom JavaScript conditions, and multiple file uploads.

Conditional Fields for Contact Form 7 stands out among form builder plugins by focusing specifically on adding conditional logic to Contact Form 7, a popular form plugin. While there are many form builders available, this plugin uniquely extends Contact Form 7's capabilities without replacing it.

FAQ

All field names should be unique

Even though your fields might never show up at the same time, it is still important to realize that WPCF7CF will not remove the fields, it merely hides them. So all fields will be submitted when the form is sent. Because of this no two fields can have the same name.

Incorrect form (2 input elements having the same name “a”):

[group group-1][select a "1" "2" "3"][/group] [group group-2][select a "1" "2" "3"][/group]

Correct form (all groups and fields have unique names):

[group group-1][select a "1" "2" "3"][/group] [group group-2][select b "1" "2" "3"][/group]
