How can I add a contact form without using custom code?

Asked on Sep 13, 2025

Answer

To add a contact form in WordPress without custom code, you can use a plugin like "Contact Form 7" or "WPForms." These plugins provide user-friendly interfaces to create and manage forms directly from your WordPress dashboard.
  1. Log in to your WordPress dashboard.
  2. Navigate to Plugins → Add New.
  3. Search for "Contact Form 7" or "WPForms" and click "Install Now."
  4. After installation, click "Activate" to enable the plugin.
  5. Once activated, go to the new menu item (e.g., WPForms → Add New) to create your form.
  6. Follow the on-screen prompts to design your form and save it.
  7. Use the generated shortcode to insert the form into any post or page.
Additional Comment:
  • Both "Contact Form 7" and "WPForms" offer drag-and-drop interfaces for easy form creation.
  • Shortcodes can be pasted into the WordPress editor to display forms on your site.
  • Ensure your theme supports shortcodes in the desired area for the form to display correctly.
