UPDATE: You can now use the Contact Form 7 shortcodes in text widgets. This plugin is no longer needed. If you’re looking for an easier alternative to Contact Form 7, try Formidable. If you’re using this widget for the styling, please note you can also use the Formidable shortcode in place of the Contact Form 7 shortcode.
The Contact Form 7 Widget plugin includes many widget options and must be used alongside either Formidable or Contact Form 7 plugin. We only support the widget plugin and Formidable, but not Contact Form 7. For help and support for the Contact Form 7 plugin, click here.
note: rounded corners do not work in Internet Explorer… Surprise!
another note: Use 6 digit hex colors for better results

Hi, I tried to install this plugin and works perfectly fine. just one question though, I have customized it and added my own header(image file) and when I left the “title” blank and saved it, the word “contact us” still appears as the title. Hope you can help where i can remove this?
THanks in advance.
You can change line 7 to
$title = apply_filters(‘widget_title’, empty($instance['title']) ? ” : $instance['title']);
(Just remove the phrase ‘Contact us’)
Hi Steph,
Where did all you ‘bright’ people come from? I am on such a steep learning curve and am eternally grateful to people like you who have been there before me and can help. Thank you for your widget that helps one to put the Contact Form 7 into the sidebar.
Kind regards,
Tuan

Hi Steph,
The CF7 widget does not display the ReCAPTCHA that is displayed when I place the same comment form directly on a page. Is there a workaround?
Thanks!

Hi Steph,
Wondering if you can help?
I need to reduce the width of the text boxes on the widget as they are over running the side of the page
I can not get the form to change colors and like Stuart above I have tried all combos. Also With Dan Allen – if you have an answer for changing the text box widths that would be great! Had to increase my sidebar width for a temporary fix.
Thanks!
nice form.. thanks a lot.. brilliant!
cheers!
Hello,
Yes these guys are right, The BG color for buttons doesn’t work, + the width of the form goes over the width of the side bar, somebody figured it out?
I fixed it by following ….
File Name: contact-form-7-widget/contact-form-7-widget.php
This Line:
$widget_id = ‘widget-’ . $this->id_base . ‘-’ . $this->number;
Change To:
$widget_id = $this->id_base . ‘-’ . $this->number;
Worked
I’m currently using the contact form 7 widget plugin on all my site pages and would now like to start tracking goals in G analytics by measuring traffic to thank you pages from these filled in contact pages- is there a best practice to set this up?

Can you help me with the styling on this form? None of the styling
options work, as you can see …
Many thanks,
Marcia
The “Thank You” prompt is not working on the widget in my footer. The “Error” prompts are working just fine, however. Both prompts are working for the contact form that is in a normal page and not included in the sidebar_footer, which leads me to believe it’s an issue with the widget. If you could help me sort this out I would appreciate it!
Hi Steph,..
its really excellent nd great work done by you….
i faced a problem that as i installed it in my theme all its text boxes disappeared…plz help…
thanks alot for your wonderful plugin…
I downloaded the plug-in and installed it, added it to my tool bar, pasted in my contact 7 form and it displays A form (the default form, I believe) but not MY form.
Same shortcode works fine on a regular page.
Any ideas?
This is a test site. My form is too wide and I am not getting any colors displayed correctly, the styling isn’t working – any ideas on fixing this would be so greatly appreciated!
Hi, great plugin! Is there any way to track when a user submits an enquiry other than the email receipt itself ..such as Analytics? I’m trying to analyze user click through’s. Thanks.

Thanks!
