Contact Form 7 on Author Page

Hi,

I’m trying to setup a Contact Form 7 form on the author bio page so that the email address for the form receipient is dynamically created. I’ve followed instructions on this site – http://en.adamlaki.com/2015/09/23/dynamic-author-email-with-contact-form-7/

For some reason this isn’t working and I have a feeling the author email (user email) isn’t available on the author page template.

Do you have any ideas on how best to implement a contact form that gets sent to the author email address?

Any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks

Hi

You can use the do_shortcode function in author.php file like here: http://screencast.com/t/W0M6ZyLMy – http://screencast.com/t/LaEz5azY
To obtain a dynamic form depending by author follow this steps:
-create a contact form for each author and complete it with its contact details: http://screencast.com/t/IfZHuS77R Each form will have a unique shortcode
-in author.php file you will need a condition like this: http://screencast.com/t/7EZaBKXCnm0

 <?php
                    if (the_author_meta('first-author-id')){
                    echo do_shortcode('contact-form-for-first-author');
                        }
                    elseif (the_author_meta('second-author-id')){
                    echo do_shortcode('contact-form-for-second-author');
                        }
                    ?>
