Can the Form content load directly from a file?

    Hi there,

    I’m making a fairly complex form layout.

    Every time I make a change to my code, I need to copy and paste the new layout into the **Form** tab of **Edit Contact Form** and save, which is a little tiresome.

    Is it possible to skip this step, and have the form content load directly from a html file in the theme, for example?

    Thanks, A

    Try this code (add it to the theme’s functions.php file, or you can use My Custom Functions or similar plugin):

    add_filter( 'wpcf7_contact_form_properties', function( $props, WPCF7_ContactForm $form ) {
	// Set this to the form ID in the database.
	$form_id = 1722;
	// Set the full path of the template file.
	$path = ABSPATH . 'wp-content/cf7-form-template.html';

	if ( $form_id == $form->id() && @is_file( $path ) ) {
		$props['form'] = @file_get_contents( $path );
	}

	return $props;
}, 10, 2 );

    Ah awesome, there’s a filter for it. Must have missed that. Thanks Sally!
