Contact Form 7 Freezes New Features – What WordPress Users Should Do Next

Contact Form 7 creator Takayuki Miyoshi announced at WordCamp Asia 2026 that version 6.2 will be the plugin's final major release, entering a feature freeze with only security patches going forward. The successor project Contactable.io isn't expected until 2028. A step-by-step migration guide walks WordPress users through switching to WPForms using its built-in Contact Form 7 importer, covering installation, running the import wizard, reviewing migrated forms, replacing old shortcodes/blocks, testing submissions, and finally deactivating Contact Form 7. The free WPForms Lite version includes the importer and drag-and-drop builder, making migration accessible without cost.
