Hi Guys, I have a contact form on a website which offers Job Positions. There is same template for all these pages so when somebody sends a message through the form, it cannot be seen which position they are applying to. I managed to set it up so it shows Browser and Referring URL at the end of the actual message. But the client needs to see that particular URL (which is basically the job position's name) directly in the subject of the message. They need to search and sort and categories these emails by the message subjects.  Is there a way to include this info in the Subject field?   Thanks a lot for help!   David

You can quickly make a simple custom shortcode and the PHP program returns $_SERVER["HTTP_REFERER"]

:)   Thanks a lot but I'm not that good with coding...    I was hoping that I just missed some of the Advanced Fields here on the right, see the screenshot.

Put this code either in a code snippet plugin or functions.php and use [ff_urlrefer] in your subject.
