Descripcion

This plugin adds conditional logic to Contact Form 7.

If you edit your CF7 form, you will see an additional tag called « Conditional fields Group ». Everything you put between the start and end tag will be hidden by default.
After you have added the field group(s), go to the « Conditional fields » tab to create one or more conditions that will make the group(s) appear.

How to use it

Follow this tutorial

Main features

Support for required fields

Required fields inside hidden groups will never trigger validation errors.

Hide/show info in emails based on what groups are visible

Conditional groups can now be added to the emails as well.
Just wrap the content with [group-name] ... [/group-name] tags.

Groups can be nested

Groups can be nested, both in the form and in the email

Example form:

[group group-1]
  [group group-inside-1]
    ...
  [/group]
[/group]

Example email:

[group-1]
  [group-inside-1]
    ...
  [/group-inside-1]
[/group-1]

Advanced

Advanced users can code up the conditions as plain text instead of using the select boxes, using the Text View.

Need more power?

Just like WordPress, the power of Contact Form 7 lies in its rich eco-system of extensions that build on top of it. However, it can be difficult to find a set of complex extensions that work well together.

That’s why I created Conditional Fields Pro. It adds some powerful features to Contact form 7 and guarantees that everything will run smoothly with Conditional Fields.

Pro features include:

Repeatable fields (repeaters)
Forms with multiple steps (multistep)
Custom conditions with JavaScript functions
Conditions with regular expressions
Multiple file upload

FAQ

Email message is not showing the correct values / Wrong values are submitted

All field names should be unique

Even though your fields might never show up at the same time, it is still important to realize that WPCF7CF will not remove the fields, it merely hides them. So all fields will be submitted when the form is sent. Because of this no two fields can have the same name.

Incorrect form (2 input elements having the same name « a »):

[group group-1][select a "1" "2" "3"][/group]
[group group-2][select a "1" "2" "3"][/group]

Correct form (all groups and fields have unique names):

[group group-1][select a "1" "2" "3"][/group]
[group group-2][select b "1" "2" "3"][/group]

All my groups show up all the time and never get hidden.

Reason #1: Javascript error
Check your browser console (F12) for any javascript errors. WPCF7CF loads it’s scripts at the bottom of the HTML page, so if some javascript error gets triggered before that, the code will not be executed in most browsers.
Before reaching out to the support forum try to determine which plugin or theme is causing the problem, by gradually disabling plugins and changing theme.

Reason #2: wp_footer() isn’t loaded
Check if your theme is calling the wp_footer() function. Typically this function will be called in your theme’s footer.php file.
The conditional fields javascript code is loaded during wp_footer, so a call to this function is crucial. If there is no such call in your theme, go to your theme’s footer.php file and add this code right before the closing </body> tag:
<?php wp_footer(); ?>

2.2.10 (2022-12-11)

Fully tested with Contact Form 7 version 5.7 (when WP_DEBUG is false). Note: due to some errors in Contact Form 7 version 5.7 you will need to make sure WP_DEBUG is set to false in your wp-config.php file.
disable automatic insertion of paragraphs. Recent CF7 updates have changed the autop mechanism, causing too many problems with parsing the HTML code. If you still want to use autop (at your own risk) copy this code to your functions.php file: add_filter( 'wpcf7_autop_or_not', '__return_true', 41, 0);. Untill further notice Conditional Fields and Conditional Fields for Contact Form 7 will not use the automatic paragraph feature of CF7. Always try to write clean and valid HTML code. GH issue 85
