Buff Chat UI for Contact Form 7

Buff Chat UI for Contact Form 7 is a WordPress plugin designed to display existing Contact Form 7 forms in a chat-style interface, presenting questions one at a time. This approach aims to provide a conversational form experience, where users interact with forms in a sequential manner rather than seeing all fields at once. The plugin does not alter the underlying form logic, as all form definitions, input validation, and email delivery remain managed by Contact Form 7 itself. This ensures that existing settings, auto-reply emails, and features such as reCAPTCHA v3 spam protection continue to function as configured.

Installation involves adding a shortcode to a WordPress page or post, which automatically converts a specified Contact Form 7 form into the chat interface. The plugin scans the form tags to render each question individually, allowing users to edit their previous answers before final submission. A confirmation step is included prior to sending the completed form.

Customization options are available within the plugin's settings screen, enabling users to adjust visual elements such as colors, font size, background, and the bot icon. Additional styling can be applied using custom CSS for further fine-tuning. Inline narration features are also supported, allowing for enhanced user guidance within the chat flow.

Buff Chat UI for Contact Form 7 is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Contact Form 7 project or its authors. It is intended for WordPress site administrators seeking to enhance the user experience of their forms by adopting a chat-based presentation without changing the underlying form management or email handling processes.
