 * We are converting our site to WordPress (Avada) and we have several forms.
    How
   do we use Contact Form 7 so that we can replace the code in our old site. Is 
   this possible? We don’t want an email with the results. We want them ‘posted’
   directly to our autoresponder. Sample of the code below. Thanks, Paul

 * It would not make sense IMHO to replace this form (which submits to ‘[http://www.peoplealchemy.co.uk/cgi-bin/arp3/arp3-formcapture.pl&#8217](http://www.peoplealchemy.co.uk/cgi-bin/arp3/arp3-formcapture.pl&#8217);)
   with CF7 which is setup to send emails.
 * Instead place this form as HTML within your WordPress page or post.​​

 * Thanks buzztone.
    I was coming to the same conclusion. Another problem would 
   be the hidden fields which as far as I can see cannot be handled by CF7. I guess
   I was being lazy and wanting the forms plugin for its formatting features, and
   because I have a lot of forms to build. Cheers, Paul
