DayPick adds a [daypick] form-tag to Contact Form 7: a fast, mobile-friendly date and time picker built on the flatpickr library.
Everything is free. No pro version, no license keys, no per-domain restrictions, no paid translations. 50+ languages ship with the plugin and are picked automatically from your site language.
Why DayPick?
- Local display, ISO storage – the visitor sees the date in their own format (e.g. 15.07.2026), but the form always submits a clean ISO value (2026-07-15). No more AM/PM confusion or broken database exports.
- Server-side validation – min/max dates, disabled days and hour ranges are enforced on the server too, not just in the browser.
- Automatic language – the picker follows your WordPress site language out of the box. All 50+ flatpickr locales are bundled.
- Visual tag generator – add a field from the Contact Form 7 editor without writing any code.
- Loads only when needed – assets are enqueued only on pages that actually render a DayPick field, with
deferstrategy. - Theme-safe styling – isolated popup CSS prevents theme conflicts.
Usage
Add a tag to your form, either with the DayPick button in the form editor or manually:
[daypick* appointment mode:datetime min:today max:+90d hours:09:00-18:00 step:30 disable:weekends firstday:1]
Available options:
mode:date/mode:time/mode:datetime– picker type (default: date)min:today,min:2026-07-01,min:+7d– earliest selectable datemax:+90d,max:2026-09-30– latest selectable datehours:09:00-18:00– allowed time rangestep:30– minute incrementdisable:weekends,disable:2026-07-15,2026-07-16– disabled days (can be combined)firstday:1– first day of week (0 = Sunday, 1 = Monday; default: site setting)format:d.m.Y– display format (PHP date tokens; use_for a space, e.g.format:d.m.Y_H:i)"Select a date" placeholder– show the quoted text as the field placeholder; withoutplaceholderthe same text becomes a pre-filled default value
The submitted value is always ISO: Y-m-d, H:i or Y-m-d H:i depending on the mode. Use the regular mail-tag (e.g. [appointment]) in your email template.

Cwestiynau Cyffredin
-
Do I need a license key or a pro version?
-
No. Everything – all features, all translations – is free.
-
Which languages are supported?
-
All 50+ locales bundled with flatpickr (Turkish, German, French, Spanish, Arabic, Japanese and many more). The picker automatically follows your site language. You can override it with the
daypick_localefilter. -
What value is sent in the email?
-
By default the ISO value (e.g.
2026-07-15 14:30). If you set a display format on the tag (e.g.format:d.m.Y_H:i), the email uses that same format (e.g.15.07.2026 14:30), localized to your site language and timezone. Stored/exported data (database, CFDB7) always stays ISO for consistency. -
Can visitors bypass the date restrictions?
-
No. min/max, disabled days, hour range and minute step are validated on the server during submission, not only in the browser.
-
Does it work on mobile?
-
Yes. DayPick renders the same picker on mobile devices so that your rules (disabled days, hour ranges) keep working everywhere.
-
Can I add placeholder text?
-
Yes. In the tag generator, fill in Default value and tick Use this text as the placeholder of the field, or add it manually:
[daypick your-field "Select a date" placeholder]. The placeholder is shown on the visible field; the submitted value stays ISO.
