  A little lost here. I have my page cyberparkstudios.wordpress , and I want to post my email link to my gmail account, but I can not see a way to do that. If someone comes to my blog cyberparkstudios.wordpress that they can immediately see that link. How can I do that? I have read a lot of the stuff on the site but have not seen the answer. Thanks!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Best to use a contact form – that keeps your email hidden from spam-bots

  Thank you… but I cannot find the contact forms anywhere on my admin site page area. Looking at examples I found on internet, it implies I need to install a plugin, yet there is no plugin link, and then I read that wordpress.com does not allow plugins, and wordpress.org does, but that is a different thing.

  Please read the link – it is built in – no Plug-in – step by step instructions – takes all of two minutes for the basic default form

  I actually did read the link. I apologize for still not understanding where in the setup I must need to be. I am on my page, and the menu on left side has all the usual menu options ‘dashboard’, ‘store’, ‘posts’ ‘media’ ‘links’ ‘pages’ etc… I have checked all the menus and their sub menus, and I guess I am losing my eyesight because I cannot find anywhere there is a ‘button’ that reads ‘add contact form’ ‘contact form’ or new contact form’ etc.. anywhere. Can you point me to the correct menu/submenu where I may find this ‘add contact form’ button?? because I do not see it… I may be completely in the wrong section. I have gone to the 2 pages I created and could not find any such options on either page when I edited them or anywhere else.

  Thanks

  I had to create a new post, to find the ‘new “custom” form… to find what is the ‘contact form’.

  I think that is it. Thought it would be on a page or somewhere in the general setup. But apparently is attached to a ‘new post’

  Thanks

  RESOLVED

  Yes the contact form is put on a Post or Page – I set mine up in a Page than I link to the Page from several places on my site to the contact form – that way one form can be used many times

  You be welcome & good luck
