  Hi there.

  I am trying to make an enquiry form where the person can select areas of interest they are interested in. I want the radio buttons or checks to allow multiple answers. At the moment they can only choose one option.

  Any suggestions? Can I put in any code to change this?

  Much appreciated.

  Use a standard HTML form and encode the form in the HTML part of the page editor. This might be theme dependent, but some if not all themes allow standard HTML form inputs including a submit button.

  @hamiltonlab: You can’t use HTML for forms on wordpress.COM.

  @eltheatre: You’ll use the Custom Form tool of the editor. For multiple answers you’ll add checkboxes. Radio buttons signify mutually exclusive answers (that’s a web-wide convention).

  While you can get very elaborate with the Contact Form editor, WordPress.com also has integration with Wufoo, which is a paid service.
