It’s possible an upgrade tool will be created. * Thread Starter [miealex](https://wordpress.org/support/users/miealex/) * (@miealex) * [11 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/previous-version-2/#post-5666921) * An upgrade tool would be awesome. As I previously said a lot of people are using your plugin so an upgrade tool from 5.1.0.5 to 6.0 (which would keep our settings) would be perfect so we can still use the plugin. * [VesaT](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vesat/) * (@vesat) * [11 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/previous-version-2/#post-5666929) * I’m managing a website for a business with hundreds of daily users and today automatically updated Custom Contact Forms to the new version. So no contact forms available before I revert back to previous version. * What the new version should at least have is a warning that contact forms from previous version will not work! I started wondering why there are no new contacts at the admin side and realized the new version does not support old shortcodes– which should also be an option, like in most totally rewamped plugins. Before that comes around, I’ll stick to the old version or change to another contact form -only plugin. * [RobertoRubin523](https://wordpress.org/support/users/robertorubin523/) * (@robertorubin523) * [11 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/previous-version-2/#post-5667047) * I experienced the same issue as VesaT. So how do we solve this problem? Do I need to create a new contact form so that I get a new shortcode? * Any advise on how to solve this is greatly appreciated. * Plugin Author [Taylor Lovett](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tlovett1/) * (@tlovett1) * [11 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/previous-version-2/#post-5667075) * An upgrader has been included in version 6.1. You may still have to cleanup some of your forms but it will get you most of the way there. * Thread Starter [miealex](https://wordpress.org/support/users/miealex/) * (@miealex) * [11 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/previous-version-2/#post-5667079) * Will you also re-include the captcha in a future release? (re-captcha would be the best 😀 ) * Thread Starter [miealex](https://wordpress.org/support/users/miealex/) * (@miealex) * [11 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/previous-version-2/#post-5667085) * When a message is sent, the email looks like: * ``` ccf_name: My Name fixedWebsite: http://xxxxxxxxx.com fixedEmail: xxxxxxx@xxxxxx.com ccf_phone: 4072xxxxxxxxxxxxx ccf_message: Testing ``` * Can this also be fixed in the next patch? * Plugin Author [Taylor Lovett](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tlovett1/) * (@tlovett1) * [11 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/previous-version-2/#post-5667089) * What do you want it to look like? * Thread Starter [miealex](https://wordpress.org/support/users/miealex/) * (@miealex) * [11 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/previous-version-2/#post-5667090) * Something like this maybe? * > **Name:** > My Name **Website:** [http://xxxxxxxxx.com](http://xxxxxxxxx.com)** > Email:** [xxxxxxx@xxxxxx.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/previous-version-2/xxxxxxx@xxxxxx.com?output_format=md)** > Some other dropdown or select that can be named in form’s config:** Whatever** > Phone:** 4072xxxxxxxxxxxxx **Message:** Testing * [sandsage](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sandsage/) * (@sandsage) * [11 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/previous-version-2/#post-5667094) * Just want to second what miealex said. The old email notifications were much more user friendly. This is what my emails used to look like: What is your name?– text What is your email address? – text What is your phone number? – text What is your wedding date? – text Tell us about your wedding: – text How many guests do you expect at your wedding? – text Do you have a preference for your photographer?– drop down selection How did you hear about us? – text Anything else you would like to share with us? – text * And this is what they now look like – exact same form except I disabled the dropdown menu since it’s broken: ccf_name: text email: text ccf_phone: text Wedding: text Guests: text dropdown-1: – Source: text More: text * [sandsage](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sandsage/) * (@sandsage) * [11 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/previous-version-2/#post-5667095) * Also, since I have not seen this mentioned before – the dropdown questions aren’t working anymore. Highlighting a choice does not seem to trigger an actual selection. When I had this as a required item the form would not send at all and just triggered an error message “please select an item”. When I made it a non-required item the form would send but show no selection made. Thanks for working on this. - Michelle * Plugin Author [Taylor Lovett](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tlovett1/) * (@tlovett1) * [11 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/previous-version-2/#post-5667101) * sandsage you need to specify values for each field choice. * [anelasg](https://wordpress.org/support/users/anelasg/) * (@anelasg) * [11 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/previous-version-2/#post-5667105) * miealex you can edit the ‘Internal Slug’ and it should change the appearance on your emails. However you will have to use -s and no spaces..
