    Hi,

    i want to change the title of the field on the contact form, but i don’t find where to edit that on the administration page.
    I have : Name and Surname / Email / Message, and i want to write it in French : Nom et Prénom, etc ..
    The shortcode for the contact form is : [mc4wp_form]
    But there is no “Contact Form” tool for the mc4wp form on the admin page, so no options to edit!
    Can you please tell me where I have to change it ?
    Thanks !

    Sylvain

    Hello,

    If you are using MailChimp plugin for the contact form (because the shortcode [mc4wp_form] belongs to this plugin) you need check its settings in wp-admin panel > MailChimp for WP.

    Thank you.

    Hello,

    Are you using Contact Form 7 plugin or our default contact form?

    The default contact form (that you put on your demo templates).
    Normally we can change the options (not just the email), right ?
    If not, could you please tell me where I can edit that ?

    Thanks!

    Hi, I found by myself the solution: I had to edit the .po file with Poedit.

    Thanks.

    Where do you adapt the mail address where this contact form will send the submitted message?

    Hello @Libardo,

    You’ve already provided us with the site http://bkbcuracao.com/soon/ . Sorry, but we provide support only for one domain name with the theme license. If you want to have support for other domain name you have to buy one more license. Do you have the second license key? Please provide us with the code.

    Thank you.

    Hi Support,

    Sorry for the inconvenience.
    I will send this when received.

    To talk about: bkbcuracao.com/soon
    If you go to that site and scroll to the footer you can send an e-mail link on your left hand. Click on that, and you will receive the following screen:

    http://tinypic.com/r/k2fpk6/8

    How can I change the “HOME” in e-mail subject?

    Kind regards,

    Hello,

    You need edit the file wp-content/themes/royal/framework/shortcodes.php (line 1764), find the code <a href="mailto:enteryour@addresshere.com?subject='.$post_title.'&body=Check%20this%20out:%20'.$permalink.'" class="'.$tooltip_class.'" title="'.__('Mail to friend', ETHEME_DOMAIN).'" target="_blank"> and replace .$post_title. with your subject.

    Hello,

    Sorry for misconfiguration.
    You need replace the code $post_title with the subject you need to display. The dots between this function should be kept.

    Thank you.

    Hi Support,

    Somehow when removing the $post_title from the css and reload the site it replaces the mail icon with the code / text…

    Is there an other solution / suggestion?

    Hello,

    Have you just removed $post_title or replaced it with your text?
    You need insert your own subject there.
    Please try it.

    Thank you.

    Hi Support,

    I have replaced it with the Subject text I want to appear, but had a ‘-‘ in the text and somehow it does not take those type of characters.
    Tried again with only text and indeed it works.

    Thanks,
