Hi Calin,

To make the subject field please replace these files:

1. Download this file and replace it in this directory (of the theme): /wp-content/themes/kalium/vc_templates/

2. Download this file and replace it in this directory (of the theme): /wp-content/themes/kalium/assets/js

Then add the following line in functions.php to make Subject field required: 

add_filter(  'kalium_contact_form_subject_field_required', '__return_true' );

The two files that I've sent you to replace you don't need to worry about when the new update is available, only the line of code you will need to have the subject field required.

If you don't see the change immediately, please hard-refresh your browser (CTRL/CMD+R) because it takes longer to load the changes, as they are saved in browser cache. Another option is to open new private/incognito window and try if it works.

To change the subject to default typed subject add this code in functions.php

function set_subject_in_contact_form_mail( $subject, $data ) {
	
	if ( ! empty( $data['subject_title'] ) ) {
		$subject = $data['subject_title'];
	}
	
	return $subject;
}

add_filter( 'kalium_contact_form_subject', 'set_subject_in_contact_form_mail', 100, 2 );

Hi Calin,

1. Have you replaced custom.min.js file properly at assets/js/ folder? If not, please try again:

Download this file and replace it in this directory (of the theme): /assets/js/

2. I see, please try this fix and you should be able to view the current subject from contact form:

Download this file and replace it in this directory (of the theme): /inc/lib/vc/lab_contact_form

Hi Calin,

I've added these files again and the problem seems to be solved, you can check it and see if it works for you as well.

Hi Calin,

Managed to fix it. Please try now, it should work.

If you don't see the change immediately, please hard-refresh your browser (CTRL/CMD+R) because it takes longer to load the changes, as they are saved in browser cache. Another option is to open new private/incognito window and try if it works.

Hi Calin,

Do you want the subject to replace that "New Contact form message has been received"?

If so add this code in functions.php:

// Add subject title to contact form
function set_subject_in_contact_form_mail( $subject, $data ) {
      $_subject = post( 'subject' );
      
    if ( ! empty( $_subject ) ) {
               $subject = $_subject;
       }
   return $subject;
}
add_filter( 'kalium_contact_form_subject', 'set_subject_in_contact_form_mail', 100, 2 );

Hi Calin,

I've fixed this, it I've changed one line of code and it worked for me. So the fix will be available in the next release.

Yes, changes will be applied for the next update. 

We are going to implement an option to use "subject" field as subject in VC element editor popup.

We have planned to release this update later this week.

Hi Calin,

Thanks for your suggestions. This element will be deprecated, so I have added that "extra checkbox" to use subject field (which can be named to anything) to email subject.

We are planning to move this functionality to CF7 and fix this issue now and forever, so for now will leave as it is.

I really appreciate your input, if you have other suggestions feel free to tell us.

Hi Calin,

Can you please tell me what is the problem now?

Hi Calin,

I have checked contact form, so it shows the subject.

However to change the format of Subject, please use the code that I gave you previously, insert it in functions.php

Hi Calin,

Glad to hear that

Have a nice week and Happy Holidays!

Will set this ticket as solved from here.
