To work on the forms, click the “Contact” <\/strong>button in the left side menu:<\/p>\r\n The next page consists of the following parts:<\/p>\r\n A list of existing forms<\/strong>+ an “Add new” <\/strong>option to add more forms to pages, posts or text widgets.<\/p>\r\n The current form title with the shortcode that adds the form to your page + the options to copy or delete the form. In brown it has the shortcode to copy and paste into your pages, posts etc to make them show the form. <\/p>\r\n The form itself + an option to generate and add tags to your form.<\/p>\r\n You do not need to worry about the rather complex syntax of the tags. You can use the “GenerateTag” <\/strong>tool to generate as many tags as you want. You’ll get a bunch of options to choose from regarding fields, like adding a drop-down menu, radio buttons, checkboxes, CAPTCHA, file upload, etc.\u00a0 Just give your new field a name and fill in the choices suggested. Once you have done this, the tag will be generated automatically (in the box with the brown background<\/strong>). All you have to do is to copy the tag code to the form on the right.<\/p>\r\n Let’s take a closer look at the first tag of the standard form as an example:<\/p>\r\n This is the field where your visitor fills in his\/her name. The -tags indicate that we have 1 paragraph, the -tag is a line break. This means that the input field itself will be on the second line. Since the first line, we only have text: Your name (required). You can easily change this text to something else like: Your Full Name (required). It doesn’t affect the field. <\/p>\r\n The second word in the tag is its name. The name of [text* your-name] is ‘your-name. This name is important as it is used later in your mail template. I.e.:<\/p>\r\n Here go the settings for each field:<\/p>\r\n You can edit mail templates in the ‘Mail’ field same as you did with the form template. You can use tags there as well, but note that tags for mail are different from those tags for forms.<\/p>\r\n Tags you can use in a mail template contain only one word in brackets and looks like [your-name]. <\/p>\r\n The two tags correspond with the same name. In mail, [your-name] will be replaced by the user’s input value, which is submitted through the corresponding form field, which, in this case, is [text* your-name].<\/p>\r\n The Messages<\/strong> that your visitors can see when they use the form (customizable, if you double click on them). <\/p>\r\n A field for some additional settings (where you can add a code to override some of the functions added above).<\/p>\r\n The Save button to save all your changes.<\/p>\r\n Feel free to check the detailed video tutorial below:<\/p>\r\n How to configure wordpress contact form<\/a><\/p>\r\n You can find more information about this plugin at:<\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n<\/p>\r\n <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" ContactForm 7 for WordPress allows you to flexibly design the form and mail.
