Contact Form Plugin For WordPress

The Contact Form plugin for WordPress allows you to manage contact forms on your site.

It is widget-driven, and plays best with widget-driven themes such as the Semiologic theme, especially when combined with the Inline Widgets plugin.

Placing a Contact Form in a panel/in a sidebar

It's short and simple:

1. Browse Appearance / Widgets
2. Open the panel of your choice (or sidebar, if not using the Semiologic theme)
3. Place a "Contact Form" widget in that panel/sidebar
4. Configure that contact form widget as needed

Usually, no configuration will be required unless you wish to change the email that receives your correspondence.

Common places to insert a form automatically include:

• To the top/middle right of your site in a wide sidebar. Users commonly swipe their mouse to the top right corner of their screen, and eyeballs generally look for it in that area once they're done reading.
• After all posts ("After The Entries" panel.)

Embedding a contact form in a static page

As much as a form is nice in a large sidebar, you'll usually want it in a static page:

1. Open the Inline Widgets panel, under Appearance / Widgets
2. Place and configure a Contact Form widget
3. Create or edit your "Contact Us" page; note the "Widgets" drop down menu
4. Select your newly configured contact form in the "Widgets" drop down menu to insert it where your mouse cursor is at

Google Analytics integration

Combining this plugin with the Google Analytics (GA) plugin adds an interesting bonus. Specifically, contact form usage gets tracked as page events.

WP-Hashcash and Akismet integration

To fight increasingly common contact form spam, the plugin integrates with WP-Hashcash and Akismet. Both of these do an excellent job at fighting spam. (The first is slightly more efficient, and free.)
