When you are working on your WordPress website, you will probably end up needing to edit the Contact page. If you used Inspirations for your initial website, most likely this page is filled with stock information. This stock information can be easily replaced with your contact information to ensure your visitors can easily contact you. The Post and Page Builder Plugin for WordPress makes this a breeze, and the following article will walk you through the steps needed to accomplish this.
Opening the Page for Editing
Click on the Pages option from the left-hand menu.- From the Pages screen, locate the Contact Us page and click the Edit link just below it.
Editing the Contact Us Page
To make changes to your WordPress contact form and information on this page you will be editing elements on a Block. You will notice that the contact information you filled in during the Inspiration process has been automatically filled into your contact form page.
The contact form on the left side of the grid is for your visitors to fill out. They will be prompted for their name, email, subject, and message body. But, maybe you want a different form. If you would like to change the form that your users fill out, hover over the contact form and click the pencil icon to edit the existing one, or choose a different form to use here.
FAQs About How to Edit the Contact Us Page
How do I change the Auto-Reply Message the visitor receives when they contact me?
Modifying the auto-reply is going to be a little different depending on which Forms plugin you’re using. If you’re using WPForms, use these instructions. If you’re using weForms, use these instructions.
How do I change edit the email address to which submissions from the contact form are sent?
This will depend on your Forms plugin. Generally speaking, most forms plugins will default to the Administration Email Address of your website, found in Settings -> General. Most forms plugins will let you override this, however. If you’re using weForms, you can set the email address for each form individually by navigating to All Forms -> [Form Name] -> Edit -> Notifications and modifying the “To” address. By default, this will be a variable called {admin_email}, but you can change it to any email address you need.
