Your WordPress Website<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h1>\n<p>Creating a connection with your audience is vital to the success of your WordPress website. Including a contact form is necessary for this purpose. Although it may seem like a daunting task at first, it&#8217;s relatively easy if you have the proper guidance and tools. <\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_1_Add_a_Form_Plugin\"><\/span>Step 1: Add a Form Plugin<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The first step to adding a contact form to your website is to install a plugin that creates a form. The popular plugins for creating contact forms in WordPress are Ninja Forms, WPForms, Contact Form 7, or Gravity Forms. In this tutorial, we will be using WPForms since it&#8217;s a user-friendly form builder for WordPress websites that&#8217;s free. <\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_2_Install_and_Activate_WPForms_Plugin\"><\/span>Step 2: Install and Activate WPForms Plugin<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You need to have WPForms plugin installed and activated to use it. You can do this through your WordPress dashboard by going to Plugins > Add New. You can search for WPForms and install it by clicking on the \u2018Install Now\u2019 button. After installation, click the \u2018Activate\u2019 button to activate the plugin. <\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_3_Create_a_New_Form\"><\/span>Step 3: Create a New Form<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Go to WPForms > Add New in your WordPress dashboard to create a contact form. You will be taken to a page where you can choose a form template. WPForms provides several templates that you can customize as per your requirements. For a standard contact form, click the \u2018Simple Contact Form\u2019 template.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_4_Customize_the_Form_Fields\"><\/span>Step 4: Customize the Form Fields<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Customize the form fields according to your preferences after selecting a template or creating a new form. WPForms provides a drag and drops form builder that allows you to create the perfect contact form in minutes. You can modify fields by removing or adding fields, ask specific questions relevant to your business, and choose the type of fields to include. When you finish arranging the form fields, click \u2018Save\u2019.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_5_Configure_the_Form_Settings\"><\/span>Step 5: Configure the Form Settings<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>WPForms provides an extensive range of settings to customize your form. Access the settings for this contact form by clicking on the \u2018Settings\u2019 tab. Some settings to note are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>General: Add a name for your form &#038; select the page to display it on.<\/li>\n<li>Confirmation: You can choose the message that your visitors will see after they submit the form or redirect them to another page.<\/li>\n<li>Notification: Set up email notifications by choosing who and what the email should say when someone fills out your contact form.<\/li>\n<li>Integration: Integrate your contact form with popular web apps such as PayPal and Mailchimp.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_6_Add_the_Form_to_Your_Website\"><\/span>Step 6: Add the Form to Your Website<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To add the contact form to your website, create a new post or page where you want it to appear. Click on the \u2018Add Form\u2019 button in the editor to bring up a popup window. You should see your custom contact form here. Click it to select it, and it will be added to your post or page. Finally, click on the \u2018Publish\/Update\u2019 button to make it go live.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_7_Test_Your_Form\"><\/span>Step 7: Test Your Form<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Before launching your new contact form, you should test it to make sure it&#8217;s working correctly. Visit the page where you added the form and try filling it in to test it. After submitting, you should receive a confirmation message or a notification email as configured.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A contact form is beneficial to any WordPress site because it provides a simple way for visitors to get in touch with you.
