This article provides step-by-step instructions for adding contact forms to WordPress websites using the Contact Form 7 plugin.
Installation & Setup
The guide recommends Contact Form 7 as a free plugin option. Users should navigate to Plugins > Add New, search for the plugin, and activate it.
Form Configuration
Form tags are used as placeholders for a HTML form control. Users can customise fields by setting field types, assigning names, defining options, and applying CSS attributes.
Email Configuration
The "From" address must use your domain (like example@yourdomain.com), while the "To" address can be any recipient. Form data is inserted using tags like [your-name] and [your-email].
Publishing
Forms are added to pages or posts using shortcodes provided in the Contact form admin area, such as [contact-form-7 id="11" title="New Contact Form"].
