    I’d like to create a ‘Contact Us’ page for the blog. No problem creating a page … not a problem to generate the necessary html for a form to gather Name, Addy, Subject, & message, but when I try to embed the html for the form in page – I get a mess.

    Can I not put html between the and tags?

    Where can I turn to read ‘how to’ do this?

    Thanks for whatever help you can offer!

  • Simplest: use a contact plugin. (search)

    No, you cannot put code (html tags) in the content area if you are using the wysiwyg monster.
    If you know code – turn it off.

    There are a few plugins that make it really simple to add a contact form and some that are downright fancy.

    Here’s a simple one that I am using https://www.douglaskarr.com/projects/wp-contactform/
    It has the basic fields plus spam prevention

    And here’s an advanced one that does everything but mop the floors lol.
    https://www.deliciousdays.com/cforms-plugin

    With each, you just set up the options (LOT of options with cforms), and add a tag into the Page/post where you want the form to appear.

    You can also go to wp-plugins.net and search for Contact Form for more. (Note that Contact Form ][ does not line up correctly in IE.)

    Thanks so much y’all! (I’m from Northeast Wisconsin – can you tell?)

    I’m so accustomed to doing everything myself that it’s hard to adapt to things in the WordPress world – where we don’t each have to ‘reinvent the wheel’. Rather, we share – and that to me is very, very good because it ultimately means we save a LOT of time with things like this.

    Your help is appreciated!
