Contact Form 7

Contact Form 7 is another useful plugin where you can create endless forms for your website rather than keep having to sign up to countless sites which only let you have 1 form.

1. First download the plugin from here, unzip it and upload it to your wp-content >> plugins folder. Alternatively you can install it by going to Plugins >>Add New on your WordPress dashboard and searching Contact form 7 and clicking Install.

2. Activate the plugin. Then go to Contact >> Edit on the sidebar on the left hand side of your WordPress dashboard.

3. You will already have a basic form. You can edit this however you like by typing in the fields and generating tags for them. You can generate tags by choosing what type of field it’s going to be and then copying the code over to the form on the left hand side.

You can change the name of the text field and decide whether you want it to be required and how many characters you want to allow the field to have.

4. Next scroll down to the Mail settings. Type in the address you would like the form to be sent to and the subject. In the From: field insert

[your-name] <[your-email]>

5. In the message body copy and paste the fields you would like to be shown when you receive the email. For example on mine I have chosen name, email and website.

6. Finally insert the code below where you want the form to show. If your form is named something different then the code will be different. It will always show at the top of the page for you.
