The default contact form 7 form tag looks like this

?'<p>Your Name (required)
[text* your-name] </p>

<p>Your Email (required)
[email* your-email] </p>

<p>Subject
[text your-subject] </p>

<p>Your Message
[textarea your-message] </p>

<p>[submit “Send”]</p>’?

Please see getting started with contact form 7??

Hi thanks

with the default tag i can only see the form without the wording guide for the input boxes. For example I dont know were to fill the name as i can only see the input boxes but no words at all.

with the default tag i can only see the form without the wording guide for the input boxes.

For this you need to add placeholders for your text boxes
or add labels before the text boxes.

Neha_jer thanks a lot.

You are welcome!!

One more thing Neha_jer

When I fill and submit the form I cannot see the details I have submitted in the email address which is linked to this form. I am receiving more like blank mails without the name, surname, tel, email etc. How can I resolve that?

I tried the mail manual but i am a bit confused here

thanks a lot

Hii INTABA,

Please paste the code you are writing in the message body of your mail

when i paste the code do i need to check any boxes within that mail section? now i have received the code in my mail instead of the submitted details, please be patient with me as i am learning from scratch.

Hii INTABA,

All you have to do is click on “Insert Tag” when you generate a text box. The value filled by user will automatically go to message body of email.

below is the code

<p>Your Name (required)
[text* your-name placeholder “Name”] </p>

<p>Your Surname (required)
[text* your-surname placeholder “Surname”] </p>

[email* Email placeholder “Email”]

[tel* TeL placeholder “Tel”]

<p>Number of Students (required)
[text* your-students placeholder “How Many Students?”] </p>

[select your-course “Finance For Non-Financial Managers”
“The Minute Takers Workshop”
“Customer Service”
“Co-Operative Governance & Board Leadership Training”
]

[textarea AdditionalInfo your-ad info placeholder “Additional info?”]
