# Contact Form 7 Extras

[![Contact Form 7 Extras Plugin](https://kaspars.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/banner-772x250.png?strip=all&quality=90&resize=772,250)](http://wordpress.org/plugins/contact-form-7-extras/)**Update:** this plugin has been renamed to [Controls for Contact Form 7](https://formcontrols.com).

[Contact Form 7](http://wordpress.org/plugins/contact-form-7/) is an excellent plugin for creating and managing forms in WordPress but some of its advanced functionality is hidden away under complex control variables which cause a lot of [frustration for many of its users](http://wordpress.org/support/plugin/contact-form-7).

Therefore, I decided to create an [“Extras” add-on for Contact Form 7](http://wordpress.org/plugins/contact-form-7-extras/) (also [on GitHub](https://github.com/kasparsd/contact-form-7-extras "Contact Form 7 Extras Git repository")) which adds a simple user interface with only checkboxes and input fields for most of that complex functionality. Here is what I mean:

[![Extras for Contact Form 7 Plugin](https://kaspars.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/contact-form-7-extras.png?strip=all&quality=90&resize=1099,353)](https://github.com/kasparsd/contact-form-7-extras)Currently it has support for:

- disabling AJAX for form submissions,
- adding custom redirects on successful form submissions and
- tracking form submissions with Google Analytics.

I built it as a free complimentary plugin for my [Storage for Contact Form 7 plugin](http://codecanyon.net/item/storage-for-contact-form-7-/7806229?ref=Preseto "Save Contact Form 7 entries in WordPress database") which keeps copies of all contact form submissions in the WordPress backend in addition to them being sent via e-mail. This ensures that you never loose a single business inquiry or lead due to e-mail failure.

I am currently waiting for the plugin to be approved for the official plugin repository. It is now available [from the official WordPress plugin repository](http://wordpress.org/plugins/contact-form-7-extras/). Please let me know if there is any other functionality that you would like to see added to this plugin.
