Ever wondered how your email made its way onto some b*coin newsletter that you didn&#8217;t opt into? This is how.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So how does a contact form make your life better in this regard?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We can consider three key benefits of using contact forms on WordPress:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"make-communication-easier\">Make communication easier<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you have a functional contact form on your site, visitors can shoot you a quick message right after engaging with your content &#8211; without the need to head to their inbox. This encourages faster interactions between you and your audience\/customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"ward-off-spammers\">Ward off spammers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don&#8217;t want to add a contact form to WordPress, you basically have only three alternative options:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>(a) display your email address in plain sight,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>(b) use social media channels for communication,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>(c) eliminate visitor contacts entirely.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>None are ideal. Scenario (b) is generally not reliable; (c) is probably not something you want to do since you&#8217;re reading this post; and (a) puts you in front of spammers and content scrapers, as we&#8217;ve already discussed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Contact forms help you avoid spam emails and safely engage real people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"control-the-flow-of-information\">Control the flow of information<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike regular emails, you can request specific tidbits of information that you require your visitors to submit along with their message. Using a contact form helps you avoid irrelevant communications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, you can mark some fields as required (like a telephone number or a reason for communication). You can even force the person trying to connect with you to first tick the &#8220;terms agreement&#8221; box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the end, you save time and get straight to the point. \ud83c\udfaf<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that we understand why adding a contact form to WordPress can be so useful, let&#8217;s go over the <strong>steps to how to actually do it:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-to-add-a-contact-form-to-word-press\">How to Add Contact Form in WordPress<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The method we&#8217;re presenting below works with every WordPress theme &#8211; and it works exceptionally well with <a href=\"https:\/\/creativethemes.com\/blocksy\/\">Blocksy<\/a> \ud83d\ude09.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Pick\">1. Pick a contact form plugin<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For convenience, we&#8217;ve selected <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wpforms-lite\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">WPForms<\/a> to be our contact form plugin of choice, since it&#8217;s both beginner-friendly and simple. In addition, this plugin is SEO-friendly and supports integration with various third-party tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>WPForms&#8217; drag-and-drop feature makes it easy to create contact forms in a few clicks. It also has free and paid versions with multiple options for your business needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Install\">2. Install and activate the plugin<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Head over to your WordPress dashboard and into <strong>Plugins \u2192 Add New<\/strong>. Enter &#8220;WPForms&#8221; into the search bar on the right to bring up the plugin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1689\" height=\"643\" src=\"https:\/\/creativethemes.com\/blocksy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/install-wpforms.png\" alt=\"Install WPForms to add a contact form to WordPress\" class=\"wp-image-5510\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you find it, select the <strong>Install Now<\/strong> button to install WPForms and then activate it to complete the process (the <strong>Activate<\/strong> button will appear in place of the <strong>Install Now<\/strong> button).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udca1 Note; if your site runs on Blocksy and you&#8217;ve imported one of our <a href=\"https:\/\/creativethemes.com\/blocksy\/starter-sites\/\">starter designs<\/a>, then you most likely have WPForms already installed on the site. Blocksy fetches WPForms automatically when importing a starter design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Create\">3. Create a new contact form<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As soon as the installation is complete, WPForms will show you a quick-start wizard to fast-track your form creation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1539\" height=\"1146\" src=\"https:\/\/creativethemes.com\/blocksy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/wizard.png\" alt=\"WPForms wizard\" class=\"wp-image-5517\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If you can&#8217;t see any such wizard, check if the installation and activation process worked. For that, go back to the <strong>Plugins<\/strong> area of the WordPress dashboard and search for WPForms on your list of installed plugins:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1680\" height=\"635\" src=\"https:\/\/creativethemes.com\/blocksy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/plugin-list.png\" alt=\"Plugin list\" class=\"wp-image-5513\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>From here, you can also view more details, enable auto-updates, or deactivate WPForms. Clicking on the <strong>Get WPForms Pro<\/strong> button gives you access to more add-ons and custom settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>Back to how to add a contact form to WordPress:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To begin, you can click the <strong>Create Your First Form<\/strong> button that&#8217;s shown by the wizard, or you can use a new button in the menu tray at the top or <a href=\"https:\/\/creativethemes.com\/blocksy\/blog\/wordpress-custom-sidebars\/\">sidebar<\/a> of your WordPress dashboard:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1407\" height=\"792\" src=\"https:\/\/creativethemes.com\/blocksy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/add-first-form.png\" alt=\"Add your first contact form to WordPress\" class=\"wp-image-5505\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Name\">4. Name your WordPress contact form form<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Clicking on either of the <strong>Add new<\/strong> [form] buttons sends you to the form setup page. From here, you have two options:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Create a blank form.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use any of the pre-filled templates.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1687\" height=\"1217\" src=\"https:\/\/creativethemes.com\/blocksy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/new-form.png\" alt=\"Add a new form\" class=\"wp-image-5516\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If you choose the blank form template, you can add the necessary fields with the drag-and-drop toolbar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But first, let&#8217;s name our form. We&#8217;ll use &#8220;Contact Us&#8221; as our form title. We&#8217;ll also choose <strong>Blank Form<\/strong> for the purpose of this demonstration:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1493\" height=\"701\" src=\"https:\/\/creativethemes.com\/blocksy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/form-setup.png\" alt=\"Set up the form\" class=\"wp-image-5507\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Getting fields added to the form is really straightforward. Just grab a field from the sidebar and drag it onto the canvas in the center:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1565\" height=\"623\" src=\"https:\/\/creativethemes.com\/blocksy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/add-field.gif\" alt=\"Add fields to your contact form in WordPress\" class=\"wp-image-5500\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Just like that, one by one, you can add fields like name, email, message content, and whatever else you wish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s an example of a pre-filled template:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1562\" height=\"923\" src=\"https:\/\/creativethemes.com\/blocksy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/example-form.png\" alt=\"Example of how to add a contact form to WordPress\" class=\"wp-image-5508\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Most contact forms need basic fields like <em>Name<\/em>, <em>Email<\/em>, and the <em>Paragraph Text<\/em> &#8211; this one will contain the message your user wants to send.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There&#8217;s a lot of other fields we could have added &#8211; things like payment forms, phone numbers, drop-downs, checkboxes, and much more. To use any of those, just drag the field from the panel on the left and arrange it accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, you can only access the <em>Standard Fields<\/em> feature in the free version. Updating to <a href=\"https:\/\/creativethemes.com\/blocksy\/go\/wpforms\/\">WPForms Pro<\/a> allows you to access the <em>Fancy Fields<\/em> and <em>Payment Fields<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Customize\">5. Customize your notifications and confirmations<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve named and added features to your form, you can save your progress and move to the next phase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Move to <strong>Settings<\/strong> and select the <strong>Notifications<\/strong> tab to configure how and where you receive emails from your users. If you want to use a different email address, you can also change it at this point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1686\" height=\"976\" src=\"https:\/\/creativethemes.com\/blocksy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/notifications.png\" alt=\"Form notifications\" class=\"wp-image-5515\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>When you&#8217;ve configured the notifications, move to the <strong>Confirmations<\/strong> section to set up what your users will see after submitting the form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Change it from the default &#8220;Thank you&#8221; message to anything you like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1686\" height=\"1023\" src=\"https:\/\/creativethemes.com\/blocksy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/confirmations.png\" alt=\"Confirmations\" class=\"wp-image-5509\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also redirect your users to another page or URL if you want them to land on a particular page or a different website. Click on the <strong>Confirmation Type<\/strong> drop-down menu and select either <strong>Show Page<\/strong> or <strong>Go to URL<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"968\" height=\"355\" src=\"https:\/\/creativethemes.com\/blocksy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/confirmation-destination.png\" alt=\"Confirmation destination\" class=\"wp-image-5506\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Just type the URL link in the field below and save it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After making the necessary changes, you can save your contact form!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Add\">6. Add your form to a WordPress page<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve customized your contact form, it&#8217;s time to add it to a WordPress page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When editing a page, click on the <strong>&#8220;+&#8221;<\/strong> button in the top left and then look for a &#8220;WPForms&#8221; block on the list. Click on it to add it to your page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1068\" height=\"443\" src=\"https:\/\/creativethemes.com\/blocksy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/add-to-page.png\" alt=\"Add a contact form to WordPress page\" class=\"wp-image-5502\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Select your contact form (Contact Us) and click <strong>Add Form<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1665\" height=\"458\" src=\"https:\/\/creativethemes.com\/blocksy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/select-a-form.png\" alt=\"Pick a contact form to add to the page\" class=\"wp-image-5514\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Shortly after doing so, a live form is inserted into your text space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hit the <strong>Publish<\/strong> button and save your page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once that&#8217;s done, you can open that page to view your new form in all its glory:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1380\" height=\"1059\" src=\"https:\/\/creativethemes.com\/blocksy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/simple-form.png\" alt=\"A live contact form on a WordPress site\" class=\"wp-image-5574\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking for some further customization, you can set whether you&#8217;d like the form to inherit the current theme&#8217;s styles or rely on it own styles. To adjust that, go into <strong>WPForms \u2192 Settings<\/strong> and into the <strong>Include Form Styles<\/strong> drop-down:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1217\" height=\"319\" src=\"https:\/\/creativethemes.com\/blocksy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/base-styles.png\" alt=\"Base styles of form\" class=\"wp-image-5576\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, if you select <em>&#8220;Base and form theme styling,&#8221;<\/em> you&#8217;ll see your form displayed like so:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1063\" height=\"729\" src=\"https:\/\/creativethemes.com\/blocksy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/form-theme-styles.png\" alt=\"Add a contact form to WordPress with base styles\" class=\"wp-image-5577\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Further, if you don&#8217;t like that space next to the <strong>Name<\/strong> and <strong>Email<\/strong> fields, you can go into the form settings and tweak those fields to span across the whole available width. You can do that in the <strong>Fields<\/strong> tab of the form settings, in <strong>Field Options \u2192 Advanced<\/strong>. Just select the <em>&#8220;Large&#8221;<\/em> option to have the form fields stretch some more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"516\" height=\"384\" src=\"https:\/\/creativethemes.com\/blocksy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/field-width-settings.png\" alt=\"Setting for stretched form fields\" class=\"wp-image-5578\" style=\"width:516px;height:384px\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>And here&#8217;s the effect:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1027\" height=\"847\" src=\"https:\/\/creativethemes.com\/blocksy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/form-theme-styles-fill.png\" alt=\"Add a contact form to WordPress that's stretched\" class=\"wp-image-5579\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"sidebar\">7. Add a contact form to your sidebar (optional)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can use WPForms to add a contact form to WordPress not only to your posts and pages but also to your sidebar (<a href=\"https:\/\/creativethemes.com\/blocksy\/blog\/wordpress-block-widgets\/\">as a widget<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Go into <strong>Appearance \u2192 Widgets<\/strong>. Pick the sidebar you want to add the form to (if you have more than one sidebar), and click on the <strong>&#8220;+&#8221;<\/strong> button at the bottom of the sidebar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1329\" height=\"605\" src=\"https:\/\/creativethemes.com\/blocksy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/add-widget.png\" alt=\"Add a contact form to WordPress sidebar\/widget\" class=\"wp-image-5504\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Look for the &#8220;WPForms&#8221; block on the list. Once you&#8217;ve found it, choose your contact form from the drop-down menu. You can also set the title of the whole section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"924\" height=\"446\" src=\"https:\/\/creativethemes.com\/blocksy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/add-form.png\" alt=\"Add the form\" class=\"wp-image-5501\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Check the preview for any errors before selecting the <strong>Update<\/strong> button to save your changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can view your contact form from the widgets section or in your sidebar when you visit your website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1602\" height=\"970\" src=\"https:\/\/creativethemes.com\/blocksy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/form-in-sidebar.png\" alt=\"A live contact form in WordPress sidebar\" class=\"wp-image-5511\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"test\">8. Send a test email<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The last order of business before we can call the whole operation a success is to test if our form is actually working. To do that, you can go back to your contact form page and try sending yourself a message.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Add your name, email, and a quick message before submitting the form. If all goes well, you should see a confirmation on the page itself and also an email containing the message in your inbox.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"765\" height=\"353\" src=\"https:\/\/creativethemes.com\/blocksy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/confirmation.png\" alt=\"Email confirmation\" class=\"wp-image-5503\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>(By default, the email address that WPForms will send this message to is the same email address you have set as the admin email on your WordPress site.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Read Next:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/creativethemes.com\/blocksy\/blog\/create-transparent-header-wordpress\/\"><em>How to Create a Transparent Header in WordPress<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"choosing-the-right-contact-form-plugin-for-word-press\"><strong>Choosing the Right Contact Form Plugin for WordPress<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While WPForms is a top choice for its ease of use and robust features, several alternatives are available.
