How to Create a Contact Form in WordPress

Every business site needs an easy way for visitors to get in touch. A contact form plugin adds one in minutes, with built-in spam protection and no code.

Pick a form plugin

Choose a popular, well-supported contact form plugin. Most offer a drag-and-drop builder, so you can add name, email, phone and message fields without touching code, and style the form to match your site.

Add spam protection

Enable a spam check — an invisible anti-bot test or a simple question — so your inbox isn’t flooded with junk submissions. This is essential; public forms attract bots within days.

Set the destination email

Point form submissions to a monitored mailbox, and consider an autoresponder so visitors get an instant "we’ve received your message". Test the form yourself before relying on it.
