Description
Contact Form 7 shows its success and error notices as plain text beneath the form. Pexsol Alerts for Contact Form 7 intercepts those submission events and presents a modern SweetAlert2 modal or toast instead — no template edits, no shortcode changes, no extra markup in your forms.
Activate it and every CF7 form on your site immediately responds with a popup for the four submission states: success, validation error, spam, and mail failure. A dedicated settings screen under Contact Pexsol Alerts lets you tune colors, size, placement, timing, buttons, and an optional post-submit redirect, with a live preview so you can see changes before saving.
Built for performance
The SweetAlert2 library is only loaded on pages that actually contain a Contact Form 7 form. Pages without a form stay lean — nothing extra is requested.
Highlights
- Works the moment it is activated — sensible defaults, no setup required.
- One settings panel grouped into Appearance, Behavior, Buttons & Actions, and Success Redirect.
- Live preview button that renders a popup from the values currently in the form.
- Accent color, icon color, background color, and custom width.
- Centered modal or lightweight corner toast, in any of nine positions.
- Auto-hide timer, outside-click, Esc key, and close-button controls.
- Optional redirect (with delay) after a successful submission.
- Conditional asset loading — SweetAlert2 loads only where a form exists.
- Single-row settings storage and a clean uninstall that removes its data.
- Translation-ready (text domain:
pexsol-alerts-contact-form-7).

FAQ
-
Does it need any configuration?
-
No. It works with sensible defaults as soon as it is activated.
-
Where are the settings?
-
Under Contact Pexsol Alerts in the WordPress admin.
-
Will it change how Contact Form 7 validates or sends mail?
-
No. It only replaces the visual presentation of the result message. Validation, mail handling, and CF7 hooks are untouched.
-
Does it work with forms added by page builders?
-
Yes. Detection hooks into Contact Form 7 itself, so any render path — shortcode, block, or builder widget — is covered.
-
Does it slow down my whole site?
-
No. The popup library is enqueued only on pages that render a form.
-
What happens when I deactivate it?
-
Contact Form 7 returns to its default inline messages. Deleting the plugin also removes its stored settings.

Changelog
2.0.3
- Prefixed every internal identifier so the plugin cannot collide with other plugins or themes: PHP namespace, option name, settings group, admin-post action, page slug, script/style handles, JavaScript globals, and CSS classes now all use a “pexsol_alerts” / “pexsol-alerts” prefix.
- Existing settings are migrated automatically to the new option name on the first admin request after updating; nothing needs to be reconfigured.
2.0.2
- Renamed to “Pexsol Alerts for Contact Form 7” (text domain “pexsol-alerts-contact-form-7”) so the name is distinctive and does not lead with another project’s name.
- Compatibility: tested up to WordPress 7.0.
2.0.1
- Fixed: popup settings (close button, auto-hide, outside-click, and Escape-to-close) were ignored on themes that render the form before wp_enqueue_scripts (e.g. block/FSE themes), because the settings payload was dropped. Assets are now registered defensively before localization.
- Hardened: added direct-access guards (ABSPATH check) to all PHP class files.
2.0.0
- Rebuilt from the ground up on a namespaced, schema-driven architecture.
- Settings now stored in a single option row instead of many.
- jQuery-free front-end handler using Contact Form 7’s native events.
- Added a proper uninstall routine (single- and multisite).
- Refreshed settings UI with panel layout and modern default styling.
