Description

Simple Conditional Fields for Contact Form 7 adds powerful conditional logic to Contact Form 7 with an intuitive visual interface.

Unlike other conditional field plugins, this one focuses on simplicity and user experience with:

• Visual drag-and-drop interface - No complex syntax to learn
• Real-time field detection - Automatically scans your form as you type
• Group-based approach - Organize related fields together
• Modern interface - Clean, intuitive admin panel
• Multilingual support - Available in English and French
• Secure and optimized - Built with WordPress best practices

Key Features

✅ Visual Rule Builder - Create conditional rules with an intuitive interface ✅ Real-time Form Scanning - Automatically detects fields and groups as you edit ✅ Group Management - Enhanced group tag generator with closing tags ✅ Multiple Operators - Equals, contains, is empty, greater than, and more ✅ Smart Performance - Scripts load only when needed ✅ Translation Ready - Fully translatable with French included ✅ Security First - Nonce verification, data sanitization, capability checks

How It Works

1. Create Groups: Use the enhanced [group] tag generator to wrap related fields
2. Set Conditions: Use the visual interface to create rules like "Show Group A when Field B equals 'Yes'"
3. Live Preview: Rules are applied instantly on the frontend

Example Usage

Step 1: Wrap fields in groups

[group contact-method]
  [tel phone-number "Phone Number"]
  [email email-address "Email Address"]
[/group]

[group business-info]
  [text company "Company Name"]
  [textarea business-description "Business Description"]
[/group]

Step 2: Create conditional rules in the visual interface:

• Show "contact-method" when "contact-type" equals "business"
• Show "business-info" when "contact-type" equals "business"

Step 3: Save and test your form!
