Please note: you may have to replace the quotes in the example with simple double quotes.
-
Where do I set the sender/reply e-mail?

-
How can I send the form to multiple recipients?

Known Issues
-
This plugin optionally uses a token to verify that a form will only be submitted once per click on the submit button. If you experience any difficulties using the plugin you might have to disable the token in the plugin’s customizer options (checkbox).
If you need to use the token instead of the default JavaScript solution, simply stop caching the page that displays the contact form.
If you use the security number field, please also make sure your web server supports PHP sessions.
