After testing a number of mail form plug-ins for WordPress, I’ve landed on two that I highly recommend:

The WordPress-Ready Contact Form v.2.0WP from Beast-Blog.com is a user-friendly, quick to configure form. This is an ideal form for someone with little need for complex configuration and has a distaste for messing with the code. It is a sharp implementation that includes a question to catch spam.

For site requirements that necessitate a more robust configuration, I recommend going with Dagon Design’s Secure Form Mailer Plug-in for WordPress. It was a snap to install and also includes a CAPTCHA mechanism for spam protection. This form features a multi-form instance option along with excellent field customization capability.

This past Friday I installed the latest version of WordPress 2.2.3. When configuring the site, I noticed that custom permalinks didnot work correctly, in fact none of the settings beside the default would properly reference the pages. On Wordpress the moderator suggested to re-load the WordPress files. See: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/134332. In the past I have chosen the Date and name based option. However, for shorter URLs it seemed prudent to go with the custom structure: /%postname%/. This will return a url http://www.urlname.com/pageorpostname.
