This guide is an introduction to the Contact Form 7 plugin for WordPress. Basic knowledge of WordPress administration is required. With various examples, this tutorial explains how to display a form on your page, and how to customize your forms and mail.
Displaying a Form
Let’s start with displaying a form on your page. First, open the ‘Contact’ > ‘Contact Forms’ menu on your WordPress administration panel. You can manage multiple contact forms there.
Just after installing the Contact Form 7 plugin, you’ll see a default form named “Contact form 1”, and a code like this:

[contact-form-7 id="1234" title="Contact form 1"]

Copy this code. Then, open the edit menu of the page (‘Pages’ > ‘Edit’) into which you wish to place the contact form. A popular practice is creating a page named “Contact” for the contact form page. Paste the code you copied into the contents of the page.

Now your contact form setup is complete. Visitors to your site can now find the form and start submitting messages to you.

Next, let’s see how you can customize your form and mail content.
