 * I have two issues in my form that I would like to solve using conditions. If 
   anyone has suggestions, that would be great!
 * Issue one: My form asks for a home phone and a work phone. I would like to make
   one of them required, so that if both are blank they get an error message. If
   either one is filled in, then there is no error.
 * Issue two: If the user selects an option from a drop-down menu (send tribute 
   card) then a whole set of fields are required. But if any other option is chosen
   from the drop-down menu, then those fields are not required.

 * I’ve worked around issue one. Still need help with issue two:
 * If the user selects an option from a drop-down menu (send tribute card) then 
   a whole set of fields are required (address to send card to). But if any other
   option is chosen from the drop-down menu, then those fields are not required.

 * Hi all. Please thebookmistress can you insert tag code for this workaround?
    
   Thanks a lot.

 * Doesnt look like it is possible with Contact Form 7. I am looking for ANY plugin
   that will do it, besides the non GPL _Gravity Forms_
 * Here is a thread about [conditional form fields](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/conditional-form-fields-with-gpl-license-plugin)
   using a GPL licensed plugin.

 * hi, crashnet!
    The plugin page says it’s GPL:

 * Didnt see that renato! I guess I meant GPL software that is not distributed for
   a fee…

 * Since it is GPL I think it’s not inappropriate to share a torrent link (moderators,
   please delete this post if I’m wrong):

 * I find it more worth it to answer the original question than to give two farts
   to the wind about torrent links.
 * I’d like to know if or when Contact Form 7 will include CONDITIONAL form fields…
   I mean, yeah, its nice, bc without conditional functionality…why wouldn’t I just
   make my own? Now there’s an idea!

 * Actually..on second thought, this guy keeps posting the same message on almost
   every CF7 conditional implementation post. KILL THE SPAMMER!!
