UPDATE: You can now use the Contact Form 7 shortcodes in text widgets. This plugin is no longer needed. If you’re looking for an easier alternative to Contact Form 7, try Formidable. If you’re using this widget for the styling, please note you can also use the Formidable shortcode in place of the Contact Form 7 shortcode.
The Contact Form 7 Widget plugin includes many widget options and must be used alongside either Formidable or Contact Form 7 plugin. We only support the widget plugin and Formidable, but not Contact Form 7. For help and support for the Contact Form 7 plugin, click here.
Installation
- Download Formidable or Contact Form 7 plugin.
- Download the Contact Form 7 Widget plugin.
- Activate both plugins.
- A new menu is now beneath the regular menu items. Copy the form shortcode at the top of the page ie [ formidable id=2] or [contact-form 1 "Contact form 1"]
- Go to “Widgets” in the “Appearance” menu.
- Find “Contact Form 7 Widget” and drag it to your sidebar.
- Update the settings and paste the right shortcode in the “Contact Form 7 Tag” line.

Hi, I tried to install this plugin and works perfectly fine. just one question though, I have customized it and added my own header(image file) and when I left the “title” blank and saved it, the word “contact us” still appears as the title. Hope you can help where i can remove this?
THanks in advance.
You can change line 7 to
$title = apply_filters(‘widget_title’, empty($instance['title']) ? ” : $instance['title']);
(Just remove the phrase ‘Contact us’)
Hi, I’ve installed this widget but when I enter text in the message field it doesn’t wrap, so whoever is entering a message, can’t read what they’re writing. Please can you tell me how I might fix this? Thanks. Rx
Hi Steph,
Where did all you ‘bright’ people come from? I am on such a steep learning curve and am eternally grateful to people like you who have been there before me and can help. Thank you for your widget that helps one to put the Contact Form 7 into the sidebar.
Kind regards,
Tuan
Hello,
thank for the plugin, it works great and it used automatically the WPCF configs.
My question is where can I change the width of the text and input areas, since my theme was translated to rtl and I changed the sidebars width.
Thanks
