You can access your downloads by clicking on the "Orders" tab and then the "View Order" button, or by clicking on the "Downloads" tab. Click on the plugin name to download the plugin and save the file to your computer.

Divi Marketplace Customers: If you purchased this plugin from the Divi Marketplace, you can download the product from your Elegant Themes members area.

4. Add Your License Key

After installing and activating the plugin, the next step is to add the plugin license key. This allows your site to communicate with our servers to ensure that you get automatic updates and support.

Single Product Customers: You can find your license keys by going to the "Subscription" tab in your account and clicking the "View Subscription" button. On the next screen, click the "License Keys" button.

Membership Customers: The license keys are at a different location for Divi Adventure Club members. You can find your license keys by going to the "Order" tab in your account and clicking the "parent" order (the first one when you purchased the membership). Click on the "License Keys" button on the parent order.

For both single product or membership customers, this will bring you to the page where you can view, copy, add, deactivate, and delete license keys. Please check our full license key guide for more information.

Divi Marketplace Customers: If you purchased From Divi Marketplace, then there is no license key to add. Updates and support for the plugin are validated using your Elegant Themes account, so just take a moment to be sure you have the proper Username and API key credentials added in the Divi> Theme Options> Updates tab in your website. Note that there is no additional license key to enter for this product, it is handled entirely by your Elegant Themes account credentials. You can refer to the Divi Marketplace Customer FAQs for more information.

5. Get Familiar With The Features

Now the fun part begins! You can start exploring all the many features and settings this addon has to offer. Before going further, take a look at the feature chart to get an overview of the long list of things this plugin does. You can also check the settings list, which literally has every custom feature documented with the setting label and help text. It also indicates which version of the plugin each setting was added, which triples as a changelog and roadmap.

The plugin settings are located in three main areas. Most of the settings are added directly into the existing Divi Contact Form module. Some are located in the Divi>Theme Options area. Others are located under the Contact Form menu in the WordPress dashboard.

6. Tips To Get Started

Please try to reference the individual documentation resources for each setting or feature. These links are all located on the left side on desktop and near the bottom on mobile. We spent a lot of time trying to create thorough and helpful resources, which is essential for a more technical plugin like this one.

Choose to save entries to the database to view, keep as backups, and be sure you never miss any form submission.

Make sure the first thing you do is enable email sending by setting up or checking your site SMTP settings.

Use the field text settings to show field labels, placeholder text, or field descriptions.

Explore additional field options like showing asterisks on required fields, adding field icons, enabling a search field for select dropdowns, or setting columns for checkboxes and radio buttons.

Add a file upload field with size limits, number of files, and specific allowed file types.

Set up a datepicker field for appointment scheduling and selecting dates and times.

Use our clever HTML field to show a heading, paragraph, divider, image, link, bullet list, number list, or anything else with HTML.

Try using dynamic merge tags to show the form content in the message or subject line.

Upgrade the admin message with a custom subject line, route emails based on form selections, set a custom from name, use CC or BCC, and rich text formatting.

Send a confirmation message to the person who submits the form with a custom subject line, from name, from email address, reply-to email address, and rich text formatting.

Improve the error message by moving it to the bottom or adjusting the design.

Customize the width or alignment of the submit button.

Show a success message with loading icon, dynamic merge tags, rich text, a button, and full design settings.
