UPDATE<\/strong>: \u00a0This plugin still works as expected for most people, but\u00a0if it doesn’t work for you, I have found a great alternative that I personally use for larger projects:\u00a0Formidable Pro<\/a>. \u00a0Formidable allows multi-page forms, ajax submissions, and more. \u00a0It does so much more than Contact Form 7 and Contact Form 7 Multi Step\u00a0Forms. \u00a0There is a free and a paid version. \u00a0The paid version is\u00a0very cheap for what you get. \u00a0In my opinion it is much better than the more expensive Gravity Forms.<\/em><\/p>\n

My first official wordpress plugin is one that modifies the Contact Form 7 plugin. \u00a0And yes, you’ll need the Contact Form 7 plugin activated in WordPress. \u00a0\u00a0I needed a contact form that spanned across multiple pages and in the end would send an email with all the info collected. \u00a0Here are the steps to use it once it’s installed.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \u00a0Create a contact form 7 form as you normally would.<\/li>\n
  2. \u00a0Add a hidden tag named “step” with the value being the current step dash (“-“) total steps. If you have a 5-step form and you are creating the first step, the hidden field would look like:\u00a0[hidden step “1-5”]
    \nthe last step, would look like:\u00a0[hidden step “5-5”]<\/li>\n
  3. \u00a0In the “Additional Settings” textarea at the bottom of the form editing page, add in the location of the next form.<\/li>\n
  4. If the next form is located on My2ndPage on example.com you would add the following to the “Additional Settings” textarea: \u00a0on_sent_ok: “location.replace(‘http:\/\/example.com\/My2ndPage\/’);”<\/li>\n
  5. \u00a0Repeat steps 1 – 3. On the form that will actually send a email, do not do step 3 unless you want the form to redirect\u00a0the user to another page.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
