For this video, we will be using WPForms lite to create the form for free. The free version of WPForms can be found using the link below:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/wpforms-lite/
Install and activate the plugin and then go under WPForms, Add New and it will bring up WPForm’s form creation. We will be using the Simple Contact form template which will add the default fields that a contact form requires to work properly and you can add or remove fields for your personal needs. Using the available fields on the left you would drag them to the location where the form is located or you delete using the button in the top right of each field when hovered.
Once you have your form set up you can go under Settings, Confirmations to customize the success message. In the notification options, it can send the email to your default admin address under Settings, General for your site or you can change that to a different email. You also can modify the Confirmations to redirect your users to a new page letting them know about the successful submission.
With all of that set up, you can visit a page and use the WPForms block to add the block to your page. It should appear in the editor and give you an idea of what the content would look like. If you would prefer the form in a widget you would need to go under Appearance, Widgets in your admin area, and add the WPForms widget to your widget area and select your contact form from the dropdown.

Hi @WPBeginner I have setup the contact us page as you explained here but I'm not receiving email can you help me with that. Thanks
I am trying to figure out where the inquiries are going. I have 34 inquiries according to the WPforms but I can't see none of them. I am using the free version. Anyone can shed me some light.
Hi, thanks for the nice tutorial. Is there way we can style the background & button on the free version?
thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaank you very much
You are Awesome, thanks!✨
This is a very nice channel. Excellent material.
You type so fast 😛
i submit form , but conformation on mail not receive?
thank you very much, that was super helpful!
Nice video!Thanks for the video. This is a really amazing form builder. But the thing I don't like about the form,
is that they removed some features for the free version and added them
in the pro, some months ago. But Bit Form has many features in the free version and a lot of third-party integrations
with all advanced features.Just for the Black Friday offer! Bit Form Provide Premium WordPress Form Builder Plugin at $5.

Where is there a support question & answer forum for WPForrms? I'm using WPformsLite for my non-profit, have created a form, adding a "send" email as instructed but it wouldn't send. I'm going to need to do the same with a registrations form in a few weeks, so need help very soon. Thanks!
Thank you for this straight forward, helpful tutorial.
I like this tutorial very simple to understand. However, I need to know How do I uses the page I already have and insert the form on the same main page. In other words, I want it to be a landing page only.
Hi @WPBeginner thanks a lot, it was superb n helpful
Hello, Great tutorial.
I am struggling with my labels on my contact page via wpforms. They are not showing. Any ideas why please? This is the link https://www.studio68.org.uk/contact/
Hi I followed your tutorial step by step and even set up two emails but I never received any notifications from the two test submissions I made.
Thanks a lot I have learned and implemented that on my website.
Hi, very simple and easy video. I actually already have this set up on my site, but watched this video incase I missed anything, but I didn't. I sent a test through my contact form from a different email and never got anything. Do you know the cause of this?? It doesn't seem like I did anything wrong.
It didn't work. I followed all of the steps but nothing showed up on the website. I am not sure what I did wrong.
This is exactly the information I needed for my site! Thanks very much for sharing and I have subscribed to your channel.
Thank you so much!
nice and straight forward set up but wont send emails after testing
Wait, do you need a business subscription for this?
I followed this video several times and tried to add a gmail account for my emails from the contact form to go to. But every time I did it and then tested the form that I placed on my contact page, I got a delivery failure in my WP email of record. When I used the {admin_email} code, I received no emails a tall in that account when I tested it. Am I missing somthing?
Great tutorial! Unfortunately when I go to add it to my page WPForms does not show up as a widget. Any thoughts??
Hey, I am actually in the process of building my own site for my YouTube channel. I have the contact form created, and I put it in the page, but the page is not showing up on my site, and the page is public. What do I need to do to fix that?
how can I chang the color of the "send" button? it's too transparent
Thank you so much
I followed the recaptcha steps on this plugin, but it’s not showing. Any advice? 😟
Dont we need to integrate with any smtp? Will it send email?
great
Great video! You guys are so helpful! I added my yahoo and gmail addresses to forward the form to. I also have my admin "Info@domain.com" email in the settings as you instructed. The form is only going to the admin email and not the yahoo or gmail emails. They are listed first and I did put the comma between them. What could be causing this?
Thank you, I followed steps exactly, and created form. However, when i tried to send a test email from the contact form i never received. I have been on chat all day with namecheap and easywp who hosts my website and email… Long story short, i never received the email in my business email box associated with my webpage. I cannot figure it out, please can you help or do another short video. 🙂
This is excellent tutelage! Thank you!

Thank you for creating these tutorials that provide professional content, ease, simplicity, and visual examples. I subscribed immediately and have been very helpful to my limited area of technology! Well done Christine!
Does the person on my site see what email they are sending their message to? I might just make a new email dedicated for my contact forms.
You skipped some sections in the email notification fields.
Hi, I've just created this form exactly as you have but email not going through 😵
Thank you so much. It is an excellent presentation. I am very happy that I watched your presentation.
