By adding a contact form to your site, you can offer a quick and reliable way for visitors to get in touch with you.

In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to add a form to your WordPress site with the Contact Form 7 plugin.

  1. Go to your WordPress dashboard > Plugins > Add New.
  2. Search for the Contact Form 7 plugin > install and activate it.
  3. Go to Contact (from the left column) > Contact Forms.
  4. Click ‘Edit’ on the existing contact form and replace the code with this one:
[text* your-name placeholder "Name"] [email* your-email placeholder "Email"] [text* your-subject placeholder "What can I help you with?"] [textarea your-message placeholder 7x6 "Message"] [submit "Send!"]

Note: you can change the placeholders and add more fields if you want.
