Broken sites after insisting on PHP 8.3
An update broke 5 of our clients sites (without even downloading the update). Support threads mentioning this issue are deleted and the author always asks to "see the site where this is happening" when it is a widespread easily repeatable problem which many have. Most decent webmasters will have deleted the plugin to ensure the site works rather than wait for a plugin author to fix it. I presume the problem relates to "cpanel softaculous" wordpress installations (although all plugins are selected and installed through the wordpress interface on our sites) and those that use composer dependencies are at fault. I've never left a bad review but when support threads are deleted, there is no acknowledgment of the problem, roll back or fix I have no option but to warn others that this plug in support is currently substandard. Over the long history of using this plugin it has been great and offers many options, we loved using it but breaking a site instead of degrading gracefully is a serious problem.

Auto-Update Broke My Website Due to PHP 8.3 Requirement
The latest auto-update of your plugin broke my website because the new version suddenly requires PHP 8.3, while my site was running on PHP 8.0. An automatic update should not take a working website offline because of a major compatibility requirement like this. This was extremely frustrating and completely unacceptable!

A Plugin I’ve Trusted Throughout My Career
Since the beginning of my career, Contact Form 7 has been one of the plugins I’ve used the most. Over the years, I’ve worked on many different websites, and it has consistently been a reliable solution for creating contact forms. What I appreciate most is its simplicity—it does the job without unnecessary complexity. Even today, with so many alternatives available, I still find Contact Form 7 useful for projects that need a straightforward and dependable contact form. It’s flexible enough to be customized when needed and has remained a valuable tool in my WordPress development workflow for years.
Simple But Most Useful
I have known this plugin since I first started with WordPress and have used it for a long time. It is the simplest but most useful form plugin. Does exactly what it should, no extra clutter. Thanks to Takayuki Miyoshi.
