What are CF7 Tags?

In Contact Form 7, there are different CF7 Tags available to create a form. These tags are code snippets that represent form fields or submit buttons.

For example, in the image above, [text* your-name] is a CF7 Tag that represents a text input field called your-name.

Tip: With the CF7 Skins Visual Editor you don’t need to work directly with CF7 Tags. Our drag & drop Visual Editor includes support for all Contact Form 7 tags & options.

Before CF7 Skins V2.1

Before CF7 Skins V2.1, if you had to change the type of a CF7 Tag, you would have to delete the existing tag first. Then, drag and drop the required type of CF7 Tag, edit the details, and save.
