About DayPick: Date Fields for Contact Form 7
From the official readme · v1.0.1Description
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.
Credits
DayPick bundles the flatpickr library (v4.6.13), released under the MIT license, which is GPL-compatible. The non-minified source code is available in the flatpickr GitHub repository.

Frequently asked questions
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_locale filter.
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.
