Contact form changes due to EU GDPR

[PYUREcrew]

Dear support,
EU GDPR requires that if people use a contact form, they have to be informed about the the website owners data protection.
This is why I want to add a textblock (or checkbox) above the Sent-Message-Button which says sth like “if you use this contact form, you confirm our privacy policy etc (with a hyperlink referring to our impressum)”

how can I add this textblock in the contact form?

best option would be to have a checkbox “i agree to the data protection…” which has to be checked to send a contact-message. if possible, you could tell me how to do that instead of the textblock.

for the next update you might insert that kind of a checkbox as standard for the contact form?

thank you a lot!

Hello, PYUREcrew!

For adding a text into the contact form template, you will need to modify a theme file, so I suggest you use the Agama Pro-Child theme to avoid the changes when the theme is updated.

Then follow the next steps:

1.Log-in to your hosting space (server) via FTP client.
On your server, find the agama-pro folder in the theme folder
(path should be this: … / wp-content / themes / agama-pro /)

2. find the contact.php file inside the wp-content/themes/agama-pro/templates/ folder.
3. Copy that file to the wp-content/themes/agama-pro-child/templates folder.
4. Edit file in the agama-pro-child folder with some text editor (Notepad++)
5. Scroll down to the line #164
6. insert next code below that line:

<div class="col-md-12"style="margin-bottom: 25px;">
 <p style="color:white;font-weight:bold;"><?php echo 'Enter whatever you want...';?><p>
</div>

…so your contat.php file after adding the code should look like this:
https://prnt.sc/juv9wo

7. Save the file.

Change the text and color in the <p> tag if you want.

To remove a google-map from the contact-form background, use next custom CSS code:
(insert it in Customize->General->Additional CSS).

#google-map{ 
  display:none;
}
