Free Plugin Declaration: Contact Form 7 is Free

Before I started developing Contact Form 7 in 2007, I was an avid user of Ryan Duff’s WP Contact Form and Chip Cuccio’s Contact Form ][. I learned how to implement contact forms as WordPress plugin by looking at their code. These developers were like teachers. If they didn’t publish their plugins for free, Contact Form 7, which has been downloaded more than 6 million times, might not exist.

Open-source code is the best educational material for developers. Open-source community is invaluable for the new generation of developers. The community grows by bringing new members constantly; I believe this is also how the WordPress community has grown.

The current trend is selling WordPress plugins and themes. Even if their license is compliant with GPL, wouldn’t it be difficult for developers to learn from them? This trend could weaken the WordPress community over time.

I don’t like to follow this trend. Now I’d like to repeat, I will keep publishing Contact Form 7 as a free plugin forever.

Also, I’d like to show my appreciation to everyone who has donated to plugin developers. With your support, we can continue development of free plugins. Your contribution defends the philosophy of the open-source community. Please keep supporting. As a member of WordPress community, I’m proud of you.

New plugin: Support Tickets

Support Tickets is a new WordPress plugin I’ve created which allows you to create and manage a simple support ticket system or helpdesk system on your WordPress. If you are offering a support service and are looking for a simple tool to help you with that, Support Tickets is an excellent choice. I’m using this for my customization service for Contact Form 7, as well.

Contact Form 7 Official Site Open!

Some of you may already be aware that I have opened the official site for the Contact Form 7 plugin. Currently, it has just a few things entered, but I am working to input more information on the site as we speak.

The site has English and Japanese pages which are linked to each other. I am utilizing the WPML plugin to make this multilingual site possible.

An additional service that I am offering on this site is a paid customization service for Contact Form 7. If you need a unique customization for Contact Form 7, and don’t know of any professional developers to ask for help or to handle this for you, this may be useful service for you to consider.

(Japanese | 日本語で)

もうまえから気づいてたひともいたかもしれませんが、Contact Form 7 の特設サイトができました! いまのところ大した内容はありませんがこれから少しずつ増やしていきます。

このサイトは英語ページと日本語ページがあるんですが、これは WPML というプラグインで実現しています。

もうひとつニュースは、そのサイト上で有料のカスタマイズサービスを始めたことです。何か特殊なカスタマイズが必要で、でもまわりに頼めるひとがいないような場合には、けっこう便利なサービスになるんじゃないかと思います。
