In this article, we have provided a step-by-step guide to install and activate the DeBounce WP Email Validation plugin on your WordPress website.

Install and Activate Plugin

First of all, you need to install and activate the WP plugin. To do so, follow these steps:

  1. Log in to your WP dashboard.
  2. Go to “Plugins” and click “Add New”.
  3. In the search plugins section, type “email validation” and look for “DeBounce.io Email Validator”.
  4. Click on “Install”. After installation completes, click on “Activate”.
  5. Now the plugin is successfully installed and activated.

Configure and Implement to Your forms

Once the plugin is activated, you can start configuring that. Hover your mouse on “Settings” and click on “DeBounce.io Email Validator”. Scroll down to the “Setup your Plugin” section:

As you can see, you need a DeBounce API key. To get a free API key, follow these instructions:

  1. Sign up on DeBounce.
  2. Go to the API section.
  3. Click on “Create API key”
  4. Choose a name for your API and click “Submit”.
  5. To check everything is OK, you can validate an email just right in your WordPress from the “Validate Email Address” section at the bottom of this page.

Once you get the API key, copy and paste that into the WordPress plugin. This plugin can easily integrate into the WooCommerce, Contact Form 7, Gravity Forms, Ninja Forms, WPForms, Forminator, Formidable Forms, Elementor Form (Contact Form by Elementor), Fluent Forms, Jetpack Forms, WordPress Comments, WordPress Registration Forms, and any other WP plugin which uses is_email() function such as Contact Form 7. If you use these plugins, tick the checkbox related to each validation method. If your plugin is not included in this list, you need to contact your plugin author to check if that plugin uses is_email() function. Our plugin works perfectly with plugins that use is_email() function.

Another integration method is to add “debounce-mail” class manually into each field that you need to be validated. Moreover, you need to add the following codes to the functions.php of your child theme:

if ( function_exists( 'debounce_activate_third_party' ) ) {
debounce_activate_third_party();
}

DeBounce WP Plugin will easily integrate into your form.
