Customizing the subject line in your Divi's Contact Form Module can help you better organize and manage incoming messages, ensuring clear and relevant communication.
In this article, we will guide you through the process of customizing the subject field in Divi’s Contact Form Module.
Install and Activate a Child theme for Divi
Go to WordPress Dashboard → Appearance → Theme File Editor
Open the ContactForm.php from the Child theme/includes folder
Find this PHP code:
wp_mail( apply_filters( 'et_contact_page_email_to', $et_email_to ),
et_get_safe_localization( sprintf(
__( 'New Message From %1$s%2$s', 'et_builder' ),
sanitize_text_field( html_entity_decode( $et_site_name, ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8' ) ),
( '' !== $title ? sprintf( _x( ' - %s', 'contact form title separator', 'et_builder' ), $title ) : '' )
) ),
! empty( $email_message ) ? $email_message : ' ',
apply_filters( 'et_contact_page_headers', $headers, $contact_name, $contact_email )
);Replace that with this PHP code:
wp_mail( apply_filters( 'et_contact_page_email_to', $et_email_to ),
et_get_safe_localization( sprintf(
__( '%1$s has sent you a message %2$s', 'et_builder' ),
sanitize_text_field( html_entity_decode( $contact_name, ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8' ) ),
( '' !== $contact_email ? ' from ' . $contact_email : '' )
) ),
! empty( $email_message ) ? $email_message : ' ',
apply_filters( 'et_contact_page_headers', $headers, $contact_name, $contact_email )
);Save your changes.
Notes:
The above changes will include the name of the person who filled out the Contact Form module fields. For example, if the name used in the Contact Form module is Joe Doe, the subject line will be Joe Doe has sent you a message from email address. Where the email address will actually be the visitor's email address used to fill out the Contact Form module's email field.
If you would like to customize the Email's subject line further, change this line of code
%1$s has sent you a message %2$sto your preferences.You can also download and use a ready-made Child theme which includes the above changes.
