I love developing in WordPress and teaching others to develop in WordPress. Let me know what you guys are looking for in WordPress and I can add it to the list of videos.
Sai, thank you for the comment. I typically stay away from prebuilt themes and plugins.. As wooCommerce has helped a lot of people sell things on their website, I just don't recommend it. WooCommerce is a great temporary platform. Get it up and running to sell your items while you develop a custom shopping cart for your website. I can't recommend it to clients or anyone else.
What about maybe a complete theme development from scratch? Or Custom Post Types & Taxonomies? ACF from scratch? Or maybe Gatsby front end WP backend looks interesting. You make great tutorials 👍 much appreciated.
@@adante407 I have done one on Custom Post Types. I have been thinking about doing a full theme development video, but it just takes so long.. So much to it to do it right.
this is great Josh. Thank you. I am going to try this on my site and put it together. Its way better then getting free once and having to deal with bugs. Now I can manage it.
Great video, i learned a lot from this! Since this was 3 years ago now, i'll be looking for other videos where you might have expanded on this concept.
Thank you for watching and commenting... So there are multiple ways.. 1 is to get_option('admin_email'). This will get the default admin email for the entire site. The second option would be to pull all the users that are admins if you wanted to send to all Admins in the system. The third option would be to create an admin area for the form so that the site owner/admin could update the email address that the form submits to. The first option is probably the best.
Excellent tutorial the explanation is pretty good. Don't know why views and subscribers are quite low. May you get these efforts reward soon. Best of luck.
Thank you... Haha. Yeah, I with the subscribers and views were more too.. I could make more videos. Please share the video / channel with anyone that is wanting to learn.
i dont mean to be offtopic but does any of you know of a method to get back into an instagram account?? I somehow forgot my account password. I would love any tips you can give me.
amazing tutorial Joshua, its very very useful....i was using WPforms and some emails were not being sent to me so i had to do it myself using your tutorial. i have a question tho......how can i add a background to the form? i want to have like a black background with 50% transparency behind the entire form, is that possible?
Another great video, they are all so helpful. Could you do a part 2 to this video on the second method you described, ie shortcode on the "Thankyou" page.
Top quality tutorial. Thank you very much. I would like to ask you if you can make a video or provide some tips, how to dynamically generate multiple contact forms from a template, using the same "shortcode" with attributes for example. I imagine a form on the backend with several fields that depend on validation by checkboxes (wordpress admin area) to appear. Is it possible to generate several forms and save this data using the same template? How to do this dynamically?
I hope you found a solution for this.. If not, can you explain more and I can make a video about it. Trying to catch up on comments that I missed. Thank you for watching and commenting. If you haven't already, please check out my latest video: A Day In the life of a software engineer. czcams.com/video/Z8GluDQ2U-E/video.html
Really appreciate these vids mate. Do you by chance have any videos relating to setting up the plugin to submit data to the database, then being able to display a list of those database entries? Would that be something you would do with custom post types?
@@lottaollander8108 Thank you. i have not made the video. I got busy with several large projects but am going to start making time to make more videos.. Thank you for watching and commenting.
@@jherbison oh what a shame. Looking for info on doing just that. Another thing, I made your plugin post type, everything works except author and sub title, it is reset. The code is exactly like your code. Do you have any ideas what might be wrong? Have been on and troubleshooting for a week now.
I hope you found a solution for this. I use an SFTP program. You can zip the file and upload it the way you are asking. Thank you for watching and commenting.
Thank you for this awesome tutorial Joshua! Do you know how to use this form at the backend? I have created a custom dashboard for my customer and just need to add a contact form there. CF7 is not working there because it must use wp_head() same as yours so I thing this will not working as well. So is there any way to submit the form from the backend? Many thanks for your time and love your videos, so much knowledge is here :)
Hi Josh, amazing video, subscribed to your channel as I am learning Wordpress.. Just wanted to check, how can we filter profanity on this form via a script. I don't want to use any 3rd party plugins.. Thanks.
Great question. Thanks for watching and commenting... You would need to create an array of terms and then filter any words based on that array. I will make a video about that tomorrow based on this form plugin.
hello sir, am working on plugin development, you are a great teacher. but sir am getting an error to send an email to my account, I have been written the same code as yours, but I don't receive mail, the code is 100% the same as you. sir, please help if you can. I'll be thankful to you.
same issue with me i think we are using local host. if you use it on an online website then it will work its my thoughts i am going to test it. you should try
i had a problem when using wp_mail, i tested in the array and the information are sent so everything works fine but when i try to send the captured data i don't receive a mail.
Hi Joshua. Thanks for your great videos. I followed this video and installed a SMTP plugin to help with the email part, but I am still not receiving the emails I send. When I send an email I'm redirected to my thank you page as I should. I've triple checked the code. The plugin WP Mail SMTP is set to standard settings. Am I doing something wrong? On another note, I couldn't get the 'print_r' thing to show the array with submitted info. Are these two issues related. Best regards and thanks in advance. Looking forward to more valuable videos.

Hi Joshua Herbison. Thanks for giving this video tutorial...but one doubt submit function inside the if(isset($_POST[])){ $name = sanitize_text_field($_POST['your_name'])); } Please explain the sanitize_text_field how to write this name?
After form submission on thank you page, found an issue on refreshing the page asking "Confirm Form Resubmission" alert to continue or cancel. Do you recommend any suggestion to deal with it in your code?
Thank you. I will make a video about this.. I only try to teach the basics to make it as easy to follow as possible and hope everyone can expand on it. I submit to a process page and then redirect the user from there to the thank you page. This eliminates the possibility of someone refreshing the page and sending the submission again, or attempting to send it again.
@@jherbison Thank you for your consideration. I understand, the purpose of the video tutorial is to make code as easy as possible. But refreshing thank-you page may lead to fire one more instance unknowingly. Extending this video may resolve this situation and deliver issue free results.
Do you have a semi colon after the double quotes like your comment here? If so that is wrong. Also, it isn’t proper html to leave action blank. It should work and submit to the same page but you should have it submit to a different page.
@@jherbison Hi, I noticed that when you leave the action blank or submit to the same page and then refresh the page (F5) the message is sent again because the refresh doesn't unset the $_POST Object. I added in my code an unset($_POST) after sending the message, but it doesn't work, no chance. I would like to stay on the same page, but I have to make sure somehow that the message isn't sent twice. Do you have any idea how to fix this issue?
Yes, we use HTML validation on everything we do... To keep the videos short and easy, sometimes I may not add some things that are required to pass validation. I will add HTML validation to the list of videos that I have to do.
Thank you for commenting. Your local machine does not by default have an email server configured. If you are using a local machine, you would need to configure your local WordPress to send through an online SMTP server or use an online API to send email. The script will work, but the email will not go out. I don't recommend configuring an email server on your local machine as all the emails would go to spam anyway.
Hlo sir i am creating plugin in that i am creating form And i use $content in it. function venveru_forms() { global $wpdb; $table_name=$wpdb->prefix.'dbp_tb_branch'; $select_branch = $wpdb->get_results($wpdb->prepare("SELECT * FROM $table_name")); $content .=' '; $content .='select branch'; $content .='
Not sure what that means, but that is the keyboard from the 2017 MacBook Pro.. Thank you Apple for making a keyboard that was a disaster and really loud!

This is amazing, have been searching for a week now. Can you do a video where you show what happens when a user misses a field ?
Great suggestion. I will put that on the list of videos.. So many different ways to validate and empty field. I will show a couple in the video.
Great SIr!

i have a question tho......how can i add a background to the form? i want to have like a black background with 50% transparency behind the entire form, is that possible?
Yes, wrap the form in a div and add a background to the div. Email me at josh@ideapro.com if you have more questions.
$content .='';
//past entire form code here and use background color with transparency //

Hi Joshua Herbison.
Thanks for giving this video tutorial...but one doubt
submit function inside the
if(isset($_POST[])){
$name = sanitize_text_field($_POST['your_name']));
}
Please explain the sanitize_text_field how to write this name?
Sanitize text field is a Wordpress function to clean data. If it is saying it doesn’t exist, your function is running before that function is loaded.
It is a Wordpress function. If it worked, you must have had Wordpress core included or it had an error that you don’t see.
