Contact form 7

Contact form 7 plugin can manage multiple contact forms. It also lets you customize the form and the mail contents flexibly with simple markup.

Displaying a Form

Let’s start with displaying a form on your page. First, open the Contact > Contact Forms menu in your WordPress administration panel.

You can manage multiple contact forms there.

Just after installing the Contact Form 7 plugin, you’ll see a default form - Contact form 1 and a code like this:

 [contact-form-7 id="2526" title="Contact form 1"] 

Copy this code. Then open (Pages > Edit) of the page where you wish to place the contact form. A popular practice is creating a page named Contact for the contact form page. Paste the code you've copied into the contents of the page.

Now your contact form setup is complete. Your site visitors can now find the form and start submitting messages to you.

Next, let’s see how you can customize your form and mail content.

Customizing a Form

Title for this contact form is just a label for a contact form and is used for administrative purposes only. You can use any title you like, e.g. Job Application Form and so on.

In the form you can enter different tag generators. They can be generated automatically.

• text - form-tag generator for text;
• email - form-tag generator for email;
• text - form-tag generator for text;
• tel - form-tag generator for phone numbers;

Tag generators (3). By using these tag generators, you can generate form-tags without knowledge of them.
