This is just one major version release, but this time there are critical changes. It is necessary to test before releasing the official Contact Form 7 3.0 so if you have time and feel brave, please join the test.<br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/downloads.wordpress.org\/plugin\/contact-form-7.3.0-beta.zip\">Download<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Now I&#8217;ll show you a few great changes introduced in Contact Form 7 3.0.<br \/>\n<\/p>\n<h4>Contact Form as Custom Post Type<\/h4>\n<p>Contact Form 7 3.0 utilizes WordPress&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/codex.wordpress.org\/Post_Types\">Custom Post Types<\/a> (CPT) feature. This means that Contact Form 7 doesn&#8217;t create its own table on the database anymore, it saves contact forms into the <em>wp_posts<\/em> table that WordPress has by default.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ll enjoy the benefits of treating contact forms as CPTs. One of these benefits is that you&#8217;ll be able to export and import contact forms via <a href=\"http:\/\/codex.wordpress.org\/Tools_Export_Screen\">the WordPress admin menu<\/a>. Also, the extension module developer will be able to customize Contact Form 7 more than ever.<\/p>\n<h4>New shortcode format<\/h4>\n<p>This change is partly related to using Custom Post Types. The contact form shortcode that you are familiar with has changed.<\/p>\n<p>Old format:<br \/>\n<code>[contact-form 1 \"Contact form 1\"]<\/code><\/p>\n<p>New format:<br \/>\n<code>[contact-form-7 id=\"1234\" title=\"Contact form 1\"]<\/code><\/p>\n<p>Note that old one starts with &#8216;contact-form&#8217; and new one starts with &#8216;contact-form-7&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>The old shortcodes stop working after upgrading to Contact Form 7 3.0 and you&#8217;ll have to replace all shortcodes you have inserted? No, don&#8217;t worry. Contact Form 7 3.0 and later versions recognize the old format as well, so you can continue to use them after upgrading.<\/p>\n<h4>Requires WordPress 3.2<\/h4>\n<p>Contact Form 7 3.0 works with WordPress version 3.2 or higher. This also means that you need PHP version 5.2.4 or higher and MySQL version 5.0 or higher (these are <a href=\"http:\/\/wordpress.org\/about\/requirements\/\">minimum requirements<\/a> for WordPress 3.2).<\/p>\n<p>In addition to these great changes, Contact Form 7 3.0 includes a lot of improvements and bug fixes. It also introduces new filter and action hooks. If you are an extension developer, you can utilize them to customize more flexibly.<\/p>\n<p>Needless to say, this is a beta version and not stable yet. Please be careful testing it and don&#8217;t use it on your live site.<\/p>\n<p>If you find some problems with Contact Form 7 3.0 Beta, please report it on <a href=\"http:\/\/wordpress.org\/tags\/contact-form-7?forum_id=10\">WordPress.org forum<\/a>. I appreciate your contributions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Contact Form 7 3.0 Beta is now available.
