Description
Most contact form plugins are built for flexibility, with dozens of field types, conditional logic, integrations, and settings screens. That power comes with complexity, even for the simplest use case.
Micro Contact Form does one thing: it gives visitors a simple way to contact you. The form includes name, email, subject, and message fields. No setup required, no database tables, no clutter.
Add the shortcode [micro_contact_form] to any page, post, or widget and visitors can contact you immediately. Submissions are sent to your WordPress admin email address by default, or to a custom address configured in the plugin settings.
Provides a simple way for visitors to contact you without exposing your email address publicly on your site.

FAQ
-
Messages are not sent
-
The plugin uses the WordPress wp_mail() function. Please verify that all WordPress settings, SMTP plugin settings, and the server / host settings are correct and functioning as expected. Also verify that the recipient email address configured in the plugin settings (Settings Micro Contact Form) is correct.
-
Messages are sent but not received
-
If you have verified that the message was actually sent, then verify that the recipient email address is correct and able to receive other emails. Verify that the email was not flagged as spam and routed to the spam or junk mail folders for that email address.
-
The contact form is not displaying
-
Verify that the correct shortcode is used: [micro_contact_form]
The shortcode can be added to a page or post using a Shortcode block, or to a sidebar using any widget that supports shortcodes (such as the Text widget or the Shortcode widget).
-
I see a “Security check failed” error when submitting the form
-
This is most commonly caused by a caching plugin that has cached the page including the security nonce. Nonces are time-limited and cannot be cached. Exclude the page containing the contact form from your caching plugin’s cache, or configure your caching plugin to exclude pages with POST data.
