How to Set up a Contact Us Form in Thesis WordPress

1. Log into WordPress and go to the dashboard. Click the 'Plugins' link to go to the Plugins page. Click 'Add New.'
2. Type 'Contact Form' in the search field and press enter. This will display many pages of available plugins.

3. Read the details for the plugins and look at the ratings, which are shown using a five-star system to identify which plugin might be best for your website. Although the three used here as examples work well, there are many others to choose from.
4. Click the 'Install Now' link beneath the plugin name. Click 'OK' in the dialog box that asks you to confirm that you want to install the plugin. A confirmation page will appear when the installation is finished. Click 'Activate Plugin.'
5. Click the 'Visit Plugin Site' link to learn how to use the contact form plugin. For Zero Conference Mail, for example, simply type '[zcmail]' on any page to activate the plugin. Contact Form uses '[contact_form].' Grunion Contact Form uses '[contact-form].'
6. Click the 'Settings' option to add an email address if you are using a plugin such as Contact Form or Grunion Contact Form, and wish to use a different email than the email you used to register with WordPress. Other plugins, including Zero Conf Mail, have no settings menu and will use the email address registered with WordPress for the website.
7. Go to any page or blog post on your website where you want to use the contact form. Click the 'Edit' link to make changes to the page. Click the 'HTML' tab. Locate the place on the page where you want the contact form and type in the appropriate code, such as '[contact-form].'
8. Click the 'Update Button.' The contact form will be added to the page or blog post. Click the 'View Page' button to see it. Type a message in the form text field and click 'Submit' to test it.
