Contact Form 7 6.0

Contact Form 7 version 6.0 is now available. This is a major update including many significant changes. Upgrading the plugin to 6.0 is recommended for all users.

Editor revamped

6.0 revamps the contact form editor screen. Throughout the screen, legacy HTML, CSS and JavaScript are replaced with modern versions.

The most obvious changes are the tag-generator popups. Previously, the ThickBox jQuery library was used; now it is implemented based on the <dialog> HTML element.

Tag-generator v2

6.0 introduces the tag-generator version 2 and rewrites existing generators based on v2. Tag-generator v2 allows you to implement a finer, more solid user interface than ever before.

The previous tag-generator (v1) will continue to work, but an E_USER_DEPRECATED level warning will urge users to upgrade to v2.

SWV 1.4.0

The bundled Schema-Woven Validation (SWV) package has been updated to 1.4.0. This version newly supports the stepnumber rule type, improves telephone number validation, and introduces consistent surrounding whitespace handling.

Major changes

  • SWV: Supports stepnumber rule type.
  • Brevo: Improves SMS number handling.
  • Tag-generator: Removes ThickBox in favor of <dialog>.
  • Tag-generator: Introduces v2, deprecates v1.
  • L10n: Uses wp_set_script_translations() to localize scripts.
  • Stops use of wp_localize_script() in favor of wp_add_inline_script().
