Hello. Can you help me? I want to allow my visitors to register to my WordPress 2.1 website with kanji usernames. Is it possible?
It seems that WordPress only accepts romanji usernames…
thank you!!!

Davido,
I checked around the core code. As you wrote, it seems that WordPress does not accept Kanji and many other Unicode characters in user name.
However, it should be possible for a plugin to change the restriction by some filtering. validate_username in wp-includes/registration.php and sanitize_user in wp-includes/formatting.php are the possible candidates.
I am not sure if changing the default restriction will cause no problem in future (risky maybe), but if it is necessary for you, I can write a plugin in ten minutes. Please tell me what you think.

I use contact form 7 to add a contact form to my site. When the form is sent a confirmation message appears in a green rectangle beneath the form
“Your message was sent successfully”
My question: Which file do I edit to personalize this confirmation message?
Regards
Brian

I answered your question on wordpress.org’s support forum. Please check there.
Thanks for comment.

Hi! Thanks for Great Module! I have one question though – how can i set privileges for configuring contact form settings to Editors? I changed
add_options_page(__(’Contact Form 7′, ‘wpcf7′), __(’Contact Form 7′, ‘wpcf7′), ‘manage_options’, __FILE__, array(&$this, ‘option_page’));
to
add_options_page(__(’Contact Form 7′, ‘wpcf7′), __(’Contact Form 7′, ‘wpcf7′), 5, __FILE__, array(&$this, ‘option_page’));
but this only shows option panel itself. If i click on a specific form, i got redirected to dashboard.
How can i solve this?

banesto, edit wp-contact-form-7.php line #420
to this
This solves the issue, maybe.

i mean the textbox that says:Your message was sent successfully. Thanks.
i want to change the color around the text.

beatjunkiez, you can change it by editting CSS stylesheet. The default style is set in stylesheet.css in the plugin’s folder.

i’ve installed the contact form 7.
it is able to send email to visitors by showing the green box which mentioned email was sent successfully. However, “admin” is never recevive the email.
I didnt modify the contact form, just using the default one when i created it!
So, is there any step i miss to do??
how to solve it??

pumpkinlam, check spam filters first. Or it might be just a delay.

I just download the contact form and I’m configuring it. I have added a question, “Are you interested in receiving our newsletter?” I have “yes” and “no” check box after the question. I want to receive the answer in the email from the sender. So far I cannot make it work. I added it at the bottom between the message box and the send button. How do I set this up so I receive the “yes” or “no” answer?
Thanks,
Sam

Trying to get the contact form work at
http://www.donald-neisler.com/?page_id=122&preview=true
But, just getting errors.
Failed to send your message. Please try later or contact administrator by other way.
Don’t I have to set the mail server and such somewhere. Am I missing something?

Hey,
First of all – great script! Secondly, you’ve published 1.9.7 version but on wordpress.org there’s still 1.9.4 viewable. This means I’m on 1.9.7 still? Or just wordpress.org didn’t updated that ver number?
And last thing. Could you add a functionality that one would be able to grab someones IP? when submiting email? Or at least write me what to add and where to your script?
Thanks!

Hi Miyoshi,
Thank You for really great plugin (Contact Form 7), but can you please tell me how can I modify it, so it could send mail not from script itself using php functions, but using predefined smtp server?
I need this functionality badly, because my host provider adds advertisements to my mails sent through it’s php enviroment, therefore it provides very slow and not relieble mail services.
So I just need ability to send mails from Contacts Forms using different smtp server I have access to, rather than by default – using my hosting provider’s one.
