How To Easily Add A Contact Form To WordPress

How to add a contact form to your WordPress.org blog or website in less than 5 minutes!There are tons of options for adding a contact form to your WordPress.org blog or website. Today I will go over one the easiest ways to get a contact form added to your WordPress site in less than 5 minutes! Contact forms are a great way to let your readers contact you without having to give out your email address up front. It is never a good idea to list your email online because you are setting yourself up for spam mail so a much better idea is to create a contact form. Contact forma are also much more professional than just listing your email address on your blog or website.

So lets get started with your new contact form!

The first thing to note is that this tutorial is for adding a contact form on wordpress.org. So head on over to your site and log in then follow along below.

For this tutorial we will be using the Contact Form 7 plugin, it’s a very popular plugin and is a great way to get a great contact form up and running that is free.

So head over to your plugin page, search for “Contact Form 7” and install.

Now that the contact form plugin has been added you will want to create your 1st form. Simply click on “Contact” and the “Add New” from the drop down.

Next you will see the see the new contact form. Note that all the fields necessary fields are created for you so all you need to do is name the form and click save.

Once you click save you will see that the form generated a code for you. You are going to copy this code BUT before you do that click on “Mail” and make sure the form has your correct email address. This is the address you will receive any contact form submissions at. The form pulls this address from the email address you gave associated with your user profile but you can change it.

Once you have verified that the email is correct go ahead and copy the code.

DO NOT change anything else on this page other than the top “to” email address if needed. Even the content in the brackets – none of that needs to be changed.

Now you will need to create a page where the form will be displayed if you have not already done so.

Once you have created the new page go ahead and title it “Contact” or whatever you would like then in the content section be sure you are in the “text” window (just click “text” in the upper right part of the text editor – you will see “Visual|Text” and you want to be on the Text view) and then paste your code in there.

Click save and then view your page to see your new form.

If you look at the live view and see the code that means you pasted the code in the visual window instead of the text window so go back in and cut the code, click on “text” and then re-paste the code and save again.

If your form looks good go ahead and test it out so you can see that it works, give it a few minutes for delivery.

See, pretty easy right? Now you can be all fancy with your new contact form on your wordpress site πŸ™‚

Visit the contact form 7 plugin page for further info or assistance.

Owning a business can be rough. You have days you Owning a business can be rough. You have days you wonder what the hell you are even doing and days you love everything about what you do. You learn that it can be competitive, exhausting, and stressful. You learn that others will replicate your ideas and you will feel completely robbed because you put your heart and soul into what you do. You learn that the hours are long and sometimes the payoff seems short. The struggle is real. EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. But still you keep going. Why? Because when all is said and done you love what you do! Because you know you have so much more to accomplish! You know that all the hardships have built the foundation of your business. You know that that the road to greatness is an uphill battle and you didn't work your ass off to only make it half way up the hill! Keep goin' girl - you got this! .

So I got this app by @plannthat a few weeks ago an So I got this app by @plannthat a few weeks ago and I am in LOVE! You guys, I'm not gonna lie I hated posting on Instragram it is seriously one of my least favorite things to do. Trying to get everything to look cute and be in the right place with the right hashtags and searching through my notes for my list of #'s and trying to figure it all out - nightmare, ain't nobody got time for that, especially me. Then I heard about Plann in one of my Facebook groups and my life has seriously changed, not kidding! You can visually set up your future feed by dragging and dropping uploaded images to see how they will look in your feed, organize and store #'s by groups (my favorite), and schedule posts - it's just awesome on so many levels! PS. This pretty little image is from one of my favorite places to buy beautiful stock images @rosemarywatson
