Inserting a contact form in your EduPress-powered blog is easy but – as with the last advanced option – you’ll have to briefly disable-then-re-enable a plugin to do it properly. Here’s how to enable your visitors to contact you… :D

 

1. In the Admin Control Panel go to Options/Contact Form

2. In the Contact Form options screen you have the opportunity to change a few settings. Only one of these is mandatory for it to work – your E-mail Address! The text entered in the Subject box is what will displayed in the subject line of the email you receive when someone uses the contact form:

8. Go to Write/Write Page

9. The text editor will look a little different than you’re used to as the EditorMonkey plugin has been disabled. Enter the text you want to appear above the contact form, and give the page the title Contact

12. If you click on the Contact tab you should be presented with something similar to the following:

Test your Contact Form – if you get an email then congratulations! you’ve finished. If not, one of the settings (most likely your email address) is incorrect.

Don’t forget to re-enable the EditorMonkey plugin before you write a new post or page… (N.B. every time you edit the Contact page you’ll need to disable-the-re-enable the plugin)
