One wrong character and the form breaks. If you have 10 pages with different forms, managing all those shortcodes becomes a headache. **ACF Field for CF7 solves this.** It adds a simple dropdown field with help of _Advanced Custom Fields_ to your page editor that lists all your Contact Form 7 forms. Just pick the form you want and it’s done. It shows up on your page. No shortcodes to copy. No code to write. No mistakes. #### Before vs After This Plugin **Without this plugin:** 1. Create a form in Contact Form 7. 2. Copy the shortcode. 3. Paste it into your page, widget, or template. 4. Hope you didn’t mistype anything. 5. Repeat for every page that needs a different form. **With this plugin:** 1. Create a form in Contact Form 7. 2. Add a Advanced Custom Field for Contact Form 7 to your desired location. 3. Pick Contact Form from a dropdown field. 4. Done. #### Key Features • **One-Click Form Selection** — A clean dropdown in your editor lists every Contact Form 7 form. Pick one, save, done. • **No Shortcodes Required** — Forms render automatically on the front end. No copying, no pasting, no broken markup. • **Client- Friendly** — Content editors manage forms without developer help. Fewer support requests for you. • **Ultra Lightweight** — Only ~10 KB. Zero impact on site speed or performance. • **Allow Null Option** — Make the form field optional so editors can leave it empty when no form is needed. • **Trusted by 10,000+ Sites** — Actively installed and maintained since 2012. #### For Developers: Quick Start Register an ACF field with type `contact_form_7`, then output it in your template: ``` // Display the form directly echo get_field( 'your_form_field' ); ``` Need the CF7 form object instead of rendered HTML? Use this filter: ``` add_filter( 'acf_cf7_object', '__return_true' ); ``` Now `get_field()` returns the WPCF7_ContactForm object for full control over the output. #### Real-World Examples • **Landing Pages** — Each landing page has its own lead capture form. Editors pick which form appears — no developer needed. • **Service Pages** — A web agency builds one template for all service pages. Each page shows a different inquiry form selected by the client. • **Site-Wide Default Form** — Use with ACF option pages to set one global «Contact Us» form across headers, footers, or sidebars. • **Multi-Language Sites** — Different forms for different languages, each selected per page through the editor. #### ACF Field For CF7 Pro Need more? The Pro version adds: • **Gutenberg Block Support** — Use CF7 forms inside the WordPress block editor. •** Widget & Theme Customizer** — Place forms in widget areas and customizer panels.•** Allow Null** — Make the form field optional so editors can leave it empty when no form is needed. • **Disable Forms** — Mark one or more forms as disabled to prevent them from being selected. [Download the ACF Field For CF7 Pro](https://store.krishaweb.com/product/acf-field-contact-form-7-pro/) #### Compatibility This plugin works with: • ACF 5 • ACF 6 • Contact Form 7 5.9 and above • WordPress 6.0 and above • PHP 8.1 and above ## Screenshots [[ [[ ## Installation 1. Copy the `acf-field-for-contact-form-7` folder into your `wp-content/plugins` folder. 2. Activate the Advanced Custom Fields: Contact Form 7 Field plugin via the plugins admin page. 3. Create a new field via ACF and select the Contact Form 7 type. ## FAQ ### What does this plugin actually do in simple terms? It adds a dropdown field to your website page editor. That dropdown shows all your Contact Form 7 forms. You pick one, save the page, and the form appears on your website. No technical knowledge needed. ### What plugins do I need installed first? Two plugins must be active: 1. **Advanced Custom Fields** (free or PRO) — this powers the dropdown field. 2. **Contact Form 7** — this is where you create your forms. This plugin connects the two. Without both, it has nothing to work with. ### I’m not a developer. Can I still use this? Yes — but a developer (or someone comfortable with WordPress) needs to do a one- time setup: create the ACF field and add one line of code to your theme template. After that, you manage everything from the page editor with zero code. ### I’m a developer. How do I output the form? Use standard ACF functions: ``` // Renders the full CF7 form HTML echo get_field( 'your_field_name' ); ``` To get the WPCF7_ContactForm object instead: ``` add_filter( 'acf_cf7_object', '__return_true' ); $form_object = get_field( 'your_field_name' ); ``` ### Does it work with ACF PRO features like Flexible Content and Repeaters? Yes. It registers as a standard ACF field type, so it works anywhere ACF fields work — including flexible content layouts, repeater fields, group fields, and option pages. ### Does it work with the Gutenberg block editor? The free version works with ACF fields in PHP templates (classic approach). For native Gutenberg block support, the [Pro version](https://store.krishaweb.com/product/acf-field-contact-form-7-pro/) is recommended. ### Will this slow down my site? No. The entire plugin is ~10 KB — smaller than a single image. It loads only what’s needed and has no effect on page speed. ### My form isn’t showing on the front end. What’s wrong? Check these three things: 1. Is Contact Form 7 activated? 2. Did you select a form in the ACF field and save/update the page? 3. Does your theme template include ` echo get_field( 'your_field_name' );` where the form should appear? If all three are correct and it still doesn’t work, email us at support@krishaweb. com. ### Where can I report bugs or suggest features?
