  Hello all,

  I am a newbie to wordpress. I want to integrate forms in my posts with a special requirement: at the form submission, I would like to know from which post the form was submitted.

  I have tried one form builder plugin called “Form Maker”, but didn’t find an obvious way to get this data. I have read a bit about other form plugins, but this feature is never indicated.

  Is there any form plugin that satisfy easily my requirement? Otherwise who can I twist it to be access the data about the current page from which the form is submitted?

  Any hints are welcome.

  Thanks a lot.

  We cannot use form code on WordPress.COM blogs. See here please:

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/code/#html-tags

  The only form we can customize and use is here http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact-form/

  There is no FTP access to WordPress.COM blogs like and we bloggers cannot install any plugins.
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/ftp-access/
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/plugins/

  See here for a full comparison WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  There is no upgrade you can purchase here that provides FTP access and the ability to install plugins and or any third party themes on blogs hosted by WordPress.COM.

  A self-hosted WordPress.ORG site might be right for you. WordPress.org offers free software that you can install on a web server. You can upload and install themes and plugins, run ads, conduct ecommerce and edit the database. Learn about the differences here. http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  So I would like to know -if there is no other way than modifying the code- how should I do it.

  Thanks.

  We don’t provide support for any blogs other than those hosted by WordPress.COM and that site is not one of them.

  WordPress.com and WordPress.org are completely separate and have different logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support forums. http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  If you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right hand corner of the page that opens, so you can post to the support forums there and receive advice from WordPress.ORG bloggers.

  WordPress.org support docs are at https://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page
