I was blown away with the responses that I have received regarding the article I published Dreamweaver Tutorial - Create a Contact Form In Dreamweaver. Many people have thanked me for the article via email . For those of you who are using Wordpress as a CMS or for your blog, I thought I would go through a Contact Form Plugin that you can’t live without. If you have a non Wordpress site and have not got a contact form on it then be sure to check out this Dreamweaver Contact Form Tutorial.

Wordpress Plugin CFORMSII

This plugin is Gold!!! and there is no way I could live without it when using WordPress. As I have mentioned before a Contact form on your site is a MUST if you want to interact with visitors and prospective clients. First of all the plugin is ready for Wordpress 2.5, and the best thing about it is that it allows you to have multiple forms throughout your site or even on the same page. It allows you to add as many additional fields to the form as you wish and also allows you to use Simple Text Inputs, Check Boxes, Radio Buttons, Drop Down Lists, Captcha Fields etc. It also allows the user a File Upload!

If you are not familiar with installing a WordPress plugin then here is a quick run through of how to install this plugin. Download it from here. Unzip the file and then upload it to your /wp-content/plugins/ directory. From the Plugins Menu in Wordpress Activate it.

Now you should have a cformsII menu item in the Main Navigation in your WordPress Admin section. By clicking on that menu item it then takes you into the cformsII Configuration section where you can add, remove fields, set them to be required etc. The options are endless.

There are stacks of options for you to change in the above sections so I won’t go through them all as they are pretty self explanatory. Another cool feature is how EASY it is to insert the form into either a page or post. It adds a button to the WordPress WYSIWYG Editor and all you need to do is press the button and you can select which form you would like to insert.

This Plugin is a must have if you have a WordPress site.

If you are not a tech person and need a hand installing this plugin or any other WordPress PlugIns then Contact Me via my Contact Page and I can give you a hand.
