Hi Sheila,

For adding a contact form to your Crio WordPress theme, weForms is our recommended WordPress contact form plugin. We’ve transitioned to recommending and integrating weForms as the go-to solution for contact forms on BoldGrid websites, given its ease of use and compatibility with our themes, including Crio. Here’s how you can add a contact form using weForms:

1. Install weForms:
   • Navigate to Plugins -> Add New in your WordPress Dashboard.
   • Search for weForms, install, and activate the plugin.
2. Create a Contact Form:
   • Go to weForms -> All Forms in your dashboard.
   • Click on Add Form and choose a template or create a form from scratch.
   • Customize your form fields as needed and click Save Form.
3. Add the Form to a Page:
   • After saving your form, you will be provided with a shortcode.
   • Edit the page where you want to add the contact form or create a new one.
   • Insert the shortcode into the page content where you want the form to appear.
   • Publish or update the page.

Why weForms over Ninja Forms for Crio: Although Ninja Forms is a powerful plugin, as of January 2019, the BoldGrid version of Ninja Forms is no longer actively maintained. weForms, on the other hand, is recommended for its current stability, ease of use, and seamless integration with Crio .

This approach ensures your site utilizes the most up-to-date and supported plugins, providing a better experience for both you and your site visitors. If you have any further questions or need more detailed instructions, feel free to ask!

That’s great Sheila!  I’m so glad to hear weForms worked out for you.  Please let us know if there’s anything else that we can answer for you!
