The DiviFlash Advanced Contact Form Fields extension adds 13 new field types to Divi's built-in Contact Form, along with file uploads, spam protection, autoresponder emails, webhooks, and other features.

Important Note:

• Advanced Contact Form Fields works only with Divi 5.
• The extension adds features to Divi's existing Contact Form modules. You don't need to add a separate module.

Let's see how to configure the extension and use its features.

Enable Advanced Contact Form Fields

1. Go to your WordPress Dashboard.
2. Navigate to DiviFlash > Extensions.
3. Find Advanced Contact Form Fields and enable it.
4. Click Form Settings to open the extension's configuration panel.

In the configuration panel, you can manage spam protection, captcha services, file uploads, submit loaders, email templates, webhooks, and other settings.

You can then add advanced fields and customize individual forms using Divi's existing Contact Form module. For details, see the Contact Form Module Settings section below.

Advanced Contact Form Fields Settings

These settings let you manage site-wide defaults for spam protection, file uploads, submit loaders, email templates, webhooks, and other features.
