Add a Contact Form to Your WordPress (WP) Theme

Are you looking for information on how to add a contact form to your WordPress theme? I know I was some time ago for some projects I was working on. So I went straight to google, which lead me to WP Directory. I didn’t know there was a WP plugin for it. Had I known that, then I would have just gone straight to WP’s Plugin Directory. I thought it would be some code I had to add to the php files. But when I saw I didn’t have to edit any php files rather just add a plugin I was glad it was a lot more simple than that. I’ve included 11 steps on how to add the plugin (at least one of them).

So here’s where you can get contact form plugins for your Wordpress themes:
WP Plugin Directory >> Contact Forms.

I personally use the the contact form made by Ryan Duff for my blog (see the Live Chat with Me’ link at the top). Works perfectly. I’m not a php programmer or anything rather I’m still learning every time I install something but it’s very simple to install on your own.

For Ryan Duff’s plugin:

  1. Download plugin
  2. Log into your web host’s panel (via your browser or some FTP software if you’d like)
  3. Upload the file it into your wp-content/plugins directory (if you are using cpanel you can extract the zip file using the extract option after uploading it to your server)
  4. Log into your WP panel
  5. Click on the Plugins tab
  6. Locate the plug in and activate it
  7. Click on the Write tab
  8. Click on the sub link Write Page to create a page
  9. Give it a title ‘Contact Me’ or whatever
  10. Insert <!–contact form–> into the coding (the box below the title field)
  11. Save and test out your new contact form.

That’s what I did to implement Ryan Duff’s contact form plugin.
