How to Install cformsII – contact form Plugin, Manually
Installing the plugin
You can install the plugin via WordPress Dashboard. It should show up by searching for cforms2. If this does not work for you, there should be an option to upload a zip file, which is available on the wordpress.org plugin directory.
If you want to install manually, please upload the complete plugin folder “cforms2”, contained in the zip file, to your WP plugin directory!
If you want to check integrity of the download, please use the cforms2.*.zip downloads and the corresponding .sig GPG signature files that are published via GitHub releases. The key used for signing has the fingerprint D942 6F96 37DC A799 FF0F 9AF2 2626 D169 6443 8E53. The git tags themselves are also signed beginning with version 14.8.
Please note that cformsII depends on PHP Session Extensions, which are enabled by default.
Upgrading the plugin
If you want to upgrade from the original cformsII from deliciousdays.com, please upgrade to version 14.6.0.5 first, make sure you upgraded your settings (resave your global settings and every form) and backup your database. Then deactivate the original plugin and install the current version of this fork.
If you want to delete the 14.6.0.5 version by deleting directory “cforms” and you have any cforms-uploaded files, make sure you do not delete your attachments directory, which is contained in the cforms directory by default.
Did you modify any cforms theme (CSS) files?
Create a custom folder under your WP plugin directory & call it “cforms-custom”. Move all your custom files into it. This folder will protect your changes going forward.
