Double email check
This plugin add a new field in Contact Form 7 called « confirm_email » that allow to do a double email check when submitting the form. The new field will ask to users to confirm their email by typing it into a second field.

I generated the tag using the email name field to check for a match and it will not work. Every form submission with unmatched email addresses went through with no errors. I tried tweaking the tag to see if it can be resolved but it doesn't work. Not sure why it wont work but I will have to deactivate this plugin and delete it.
I really like this very efficient and easy plugin.
Some code should be added to get the full features :
- A RED text saying that the email is wrongly written.
- Style completely similar to the email field of CF7.
Hope this helps ! And thank you to Author to adapt his code more or less as described, or better...
(Code bellow is partially given by KliffBlack)
----------------------------------------------------------
---------- Here is the code and where to put it ----------
----------------------------------------------------------
<<<< Getting the message about wrong match >>>>
1. Open the php file
–> Named : contact-form-7-confirm-email.php
–> In folder : […]wp-content/plugins/contact-form-7-confirm-email-feild (yes, f e i l d, this is a typo from the author of the plug in)
2. Add the filter:
–> What : add_filter( ‘wpcf7_messages’, ‘confirm_email_messages’);
–> Where : at line 24 (for example, must be with the others)
3. Add the function it refers to :
–> What :
//add error message
function confirm_email_messages($messages) {
$messages[‘invalid_confirm_email’] = array(
‘description’ => __(‘The email addresses do not match.’),
‘default’ => __(‘The email addresses do not match.’),
);
return $messages;
}
–> Where : at line 109 (for example, must be outside an existing function.
<<<< Making the confirm_email input field look like the email one >>>>
What : $class .= ‘ ‘.wpcf7_form_controls_class( $tag->type, ‘wpcf7-text’ );
Where : at line 50
I submitted below comment on an open support request that is about 2 months old:
This seems like it would be a really nice plugin if the author would maintain/fix it. I am NOT a coder, but I waded into this because I really think this sort of validation is valuable.
I found the comment by aswitahidayat to be correct. There was no message in the code for invalid_confirm_email. Digging back into a much older support thread, I found this:
add_filter( 'wpcf7_messages', 'confirm_email_messages');
function confirm_email_messages($messages) {
$messages['invalid_confirm_email'] = array(
'description' => __('The email addresses do not match.'),
'default' => __('The email addresses do not match.'),
);
return $messages;
}
After some fiddling around, I determined where to insert the "add_filter..." and "function..." pieces. Plugin seems to work now with WPv4.5.2. What I don't understand is why the author says he fixed this some 8 months ago, but the above fix is not in the plugin I installed today. And the same problem is reported 2 months ago.
I would love to up this rating to 5-stars, and I will if I become convinced that the author is properly responding to issues and committing fixes he says in support are done, but in fact are NOT in the plugin when downloaded.
