  The “page” form offers a “insert/add custom form” option for a contact form. When I view this, it looks great and I want it enabled. It appears to insert code, but when I save and view, there is no such contact form. How do I enable this feature on my website?

  What’s the page you’re trying to add this to? Can you walk me through what you’re doing?

  I have gotten a little further, I had to turn on some attributes to get it to actually display, but I am at the next level of problem.

  My page is http://www.shereeventures.com. I would like an official “contact form” where the user completes a contact form and it goes to the assigned administrator (only, no pending approval, then posting to the page for all to see, just able to send me an inquiry).

  When I am logged in as administrator and I create a new page, I “create new page”, then in the “insert/upload” icons, I click “add a custom form”
  The form opens, and I click “add this form to my post”. The code appears in the html screen, I save.

  From here, when I test the contact form, it sends me a notification for approval. When I approve, the “contact” appears like a blog discussion instead of simply allowing me to reply back to the question privately. If I select “private” the “contact” menu disappears from my page….
